ITMP Seminar "Thermal correlators in CFT and black holes"

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the next ITMP seminar will be held on Wednesday, May 12, at 18:00 (Moscow time). The seminar will be arranged via Zoom.

Speaker: prof. Jorge Guillermo Russo, Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies and University of Barcelona, Barcelona

Title: Thermal correlators in CFT and black holes

Abstract: We describe the computation of thermal 2-point correlation functions in the black brane AdS5 background dual to 4d CFT's at finite temperature for operators of large scaling dimension. This gives rise to a formula that matches the expected structure from the OPE. The thermal 2-point function has an exponentiation property, whose origin we explain. We also compute the first correction to the two-point function due to graviton emission, which encodes the time travel to the black hole singularity.

We will also discuss some interesting features of higher-point functions.

If you want to join the seminar please register here before 14:00, May 12.
