Dear Juniors,

We're very excited to start the new season of ScientiFika* this week! Join us on Friday the 19th of January at 16:00 for delicious Swedish pastries and an interesting talk by Ronnie Rodgers about Holography.

Do you want to present your research or any scientific topic of interest? We're still looking for speakers for the coming months! Sign up here: https://forms.gle/wM6k22asgLjRrXhX7

Gravity as a hologram

I will discuss holography, the idea that gravitational theories can be described by lower-dimensional degrees of freedom. The most concrete example of this is the AdS/CFT correspondence, which uses ideas from string theory. I will explain how the correspondence works and how researchers have used it both to better understand quantum gravity and to investigate strongly coupled systems in particle and condensed matter physics, where traditional calculation techniques break down.


Place: NORDITA Floor 6 - Fika area (in-person only).
Address: AlbaNova University Center, Hannes Alfvéns väg 12

We're looking forward to seeing you!
Nadia, Guilherme and Nikki
