Recent Advances in Quantum Integrable Systems

Newtonian regime in a spherical or hyperbolic universe and consequences for the role of spatial curvature in cosmology

The standard model of cosmology currently allows for three types of geometries for our Universe (Euclidean, spherical or hyperbolic), each of these types corresponding to a set of different (multiconnected)-topologies. Among these geometries, Newton’s theory of gravity is only defined on the Euclidean one. Still, extending the validity of this theory to the two other […]

[AnLy] Solving 3d Gravity with Virasoro TQFT

Online seminar

Speakers: Lorenz Eberhardt (Princeton, IAS)Abstract: I will explain a proposal which relates three-dimensional quantum gravity in AdS3 to a particular 3d TQFT that we refer to as ``Virasoro TQFT’'. This […]
