String Geometry, Supersymmetric Theories and Dualities
Surrey Conference (Surrey University)
Venue: Surrey U. · Room: See Web · Time: 09:30 · Type: Conference
Abstract:
Organisers: Andrea Fontanella, Joakim Strömvall (University of Surrey)<br>
<br>
The conference String Geometry, Supersymmetric Theories and Dualities takes place on 3-4 July 2017 at the University of Surrey.
<br><br>
The purpose is to gather a broad audience of researchers and to provide a window into current research. During the first day there will be pedagogical lectures that prepare the ground for the second day, which consists of technical talks.
<br><br>
Prof. Nick Dorey (University of Cambridge):
”Superconformal quantum mechanics and integrability”
<br><br>
Prof. Dario Martelli (King’s College London):
”Supergravity tools for holography”
<br><br>
Prof. Xenia de la Ossa (University of Oxford):
”Moduli spaces of heterotic compactifications”
<br><br>
On the second day, technical talks will be given by the lecturers and two early career researchers as part of the 9th SEMPS meeting.

Holography of BCFT
Chong-Sun Chu (NCTS, Hsinchu and Taiwan, Natl. Tsing Hua U.)
Venue: QMW · Room: 610 · Time: 11:30 · Type: Regular Seminar
Abstract:
In this talk, I will discuss about the holography of boundary Conformal Field theory. I will show how boundary Weyl Anomaly can be obtained from holography. New universal relations between the shape dependence of Casimir effects and boundary Weyl anomaly will also be pointed out and discussed from the point of view of holography.
