Diffusion and Chaos in Holographic Matter
Mike Blake (MIT)
Venue: IC ยท Room: H503 ยท Time: 14:00 ยท Type: Regular Seminar
Abstract:
In this talk I will discuss recent developments that have suggested new connections between the transport properties of strongly interacting matter and the field of quantum chaos. In particular I will describe how in many holographic theories there are simple relationships between the thermoelectric diffusion constants and the butterfly velocity, which describes the speed at which quantum chaos propagates.

Goldstino superfields in supergravity
Sergei Kuzenko (U Western Australia)
Venue: IC ยท Room: H503 ยท Time: 15:00 ยท Type: Exceptional Seminar
Abstract:
Models with spontaneously broken local supersymmetry are naturally obtained by coupling the off-shell supergravity-matter systems to Goldstino superfields. Every irreducible Goldstino superfield produces a universal positive contribution to the cosmological constant. This talk will review the structure of N=1 and N=2 Goldstino superfields.
