Thermodynamic and Dynamic Instability in N=4 SYM at Finite Density

In this lecture, Andrei Starinets explores the thermodynamic and dynamic instability in N=4 Super Yang-Mills theory at finite density. Presented at the Galileo Galilei Institute (GGI), the 74-minute talk delves into the complex behavior of SYM theory when subjected to finite density conditions, examining both thermodynamic properties and instability mechanisms. Learn about the mathematical frameworks and theoretical approaches used to analyze these quantum field theory phenomena, with implications for understanding fundamental physics at extreme conditions.
