ITMP Seminar "Black holes on a conifold with fluxes"

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that ITMP seminar returns from summer holidays. The next seminar will be held on Wednesday, Sep 22, at 18:00 (Moscow time) and will be arranged via Zoom. 

Speaker: prof. Alex Buchel, Perimeter Institute

Title: Black holes on a conifold with fluxes

Abstract: We present a comprehensive analysis of the black holes on warped deformed conifold with fluxes in Type IIB supergravity. These black holes realize the holographic dual to thermal states of the N = 1 supersymmetric SU(N) × SU(N + M) cascading gauge theory of Klebanov et al  on round S^3 . There are three distinct mass scales in the theory: the strong coupling scale Λ of the cascading gauge theory, the compactification scale µ = 1/L_3 (related to the S^3 radius L_3 ) and the temperature T of a thermal state. Depending on Λ , µ and T , there is an intricate pattern of confinement/deconfinement (Hawking-Page) and the chiral symmetry breaking phase transitions.

If you want to join the seminar please register here before 14:00, September 22.
