Julian Sonner: Tensor models for chaotic CFT and 3D gravity

mercredi 7 mai 2025, 14:00 → 15:00 Europe/Paris

Black holes are among the most extreme and mysterious objects known in physics. In this talk I will focus on their quantum chaotic nature, motivating the study of chaotic conformal field theories capable of describing the holographic dual of this behavior. These chaotic conformal field theories are naturally formulated in terms of mixed matrix-tensor models, which look tantalisingly closely related to tensor models of 3D gravity based on Virasoro symmetry.
