Energy Transport in 2D Holographic Conformal and Non-Conformal Interfaces

Attend a research seminar exploring energy transport phenomena in two-dimensional holographic conformal and non-conformal interfaces, delivered by Professor Giuseppe Policastro from École Normale Supérieure. Delve into advanced theoretical physics concepts examining how energy propagates through different types of interfaces using holographic methods, with particular focus on the mathematical frameworks governing both conformal and non-conformal systems. Explore the applications of holographic duality principles to understand transport properties in two-dimensional quantum field theories with boundaries and defects. Gain insights into cutting-edge research methodologies that bridge quantum field theory, string theory, and condensed matter physics through the lens of the AdS/CFT correspondence. This presentation forms part of the "Quantum field theory with boundaries, impurities, and defects" research programme at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, offering exposure to current developments in theoretical physics research at the intersection of quantum field theory and holographic techniques.
