About this event
Speaker: Michael Gutperle, UCLA
Defects are ubiquitous in many areas of physics. In this colloquium I’ll review conformal defects which are important in condensed matter physics, quantum field theory and string theory. Conformal defects preserve some part of the conformal symmetry of a scale invariant system and provide new extended observables and probes of the underlying system. I will also review how such defects are realized in systems which have a holographic dual.Video Link (requires UW NetID)
