The speaker of this Student Seminar is Davide Scazzuso. He will talk about
Quantum gravity and volumes
Abstract:
“Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity is a simple solvable model of quantum gravity in two dimensions that has proven to be a useful toy model of holography in recent years. In this talk I will review the connection between JT gravity and Weil-Petersson volumes. If time allows, I will also speculate on deformations of such theories and general properties of the mathematical structure underlying topological gravity.”
