BPS Black Holes, Instanton Condensation, and Partial Deconfinement

Explore advanced theoretical physics concepts in this seminar presentation examining the intricate relationships between BPS black holes, instanton condensation, and partial deconfinement phenomena. Delve into cutting-edge research presented by Dr. Jack Holden from Tsinghua University as part of the "Quantum field theory with boundaries, impurities, and defects" program at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences. Investigate the mathematical frameworks underlying BPS (Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield) black hole solutions and their connection to instanton physics, while examining how these relate to partial deconfinement mechanisms in quantum field theory. Gain insights into the interplay between gravitational physics, gauge theory, and quantum field theory through detailed mathematical analysis and theoretical developments. Discover how boundary conditions, impurities, and defects influence these fundamental physical processes and their implications for our understanding of quantum gravity and strongly coupled field theories.
