Hydrodynamics – broadly understood as the late-time dynamics of slow excitations – is distinguished by its sparing assumption: thermalization. Its applications are therefore broad and its understanding […]

Our construction provides an example […]

Abstract: Dealing with nature, being on the right track may have the effect that out of the blue surprises starts raining down in the laboratory. AdS/CMT may […]

Date : 15th of April 2020, 17:00 CET Our first Webinar online is by Carlos Hoyos (Universidad de Oviedo) Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82682411484?pwd=ZVZSUFFYRzkwa01BUDh3R3lRQWN4Zz09 Title: Geometry, duality and odd transport in flatland Abstract: Effective theories are very useful to extract transport properties at long wavelengths, which can be done by studying the response to external sources and geometric deformations. In two dimensions one […]
