A brainstorming day at ENS Paris, May 5, 2017 Organisers: Giulio Biroli, Silvio Franz, Francesco Zamponi Speakers:
Recently, disordered models of interacting fermions of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev type have attracted a lot of interest in the context of the theory of black holes. These systems, that are nothing but fermionic quantum glasses, display some of the basic properties that are expected for quantum black holes, in particular a residual zero-temperature entropy and maximal chaos. The aim of the workshop is to bring together scientists from the disordered systems, condensed matter, string and quantum gravity communities, to exchange ideas on this topic. Practical information: The workshop consists in four informal blackboard talks, of one hour each, followed by extended discussions. It will be held at ENS Paris, 24 Rue Lhomond, room L357/359, 3rd floor. Registration is not needed. Program: 10:00 Jorge Kurchan 11:30 Iosif Bena 13:00 Lunch 14:30 Giuseppe Policastro 16:00 Vincent Rivasseau Simons Collaborations, made possible by support from the Simons Foundation, bring together groups of outstanding scientists to address mathematical or theoretical topics of fundamental scientific importance in which a significant new development has created a novel area for exploration or provided a new direction for progress in an established field.  |
