Theory Seminar

DATE: 2011-02-28 11:00 - 12:00
PLACE: Kenkyu Honkan 1F, Meeting Room 3
TITLE: Matrix Models, noncommutative gauge theory, and gravity
CONTACT: KIMURA Tetsuji, tetsuji-AT-post.kek.jp
SPEAKER: Dr. Harold Steinacker   (University of Vienna)
LANGUAGE: English
ABSTRACT: We will review recent developments on geometrical aspects of Yang-Mills matrix models, notably the IKKT model. The relation between noncommutative gauge theory, UV/IR mixing and induced gravity on generic noncommutative branes will be explained. The role of generalized effective matrix models will be discussed.
