Description

Seminário do grupo de Física Teórica

Gostaríamos de convidar a todos para o seminário do Grupo de Física Teórica que acontecerá hoje, dia 19.06.2017 (segunda-feira) às 11h na sala 201. As informações do seminário estão abaixo.

Palestrante: Tristan McLoughlin (Trinity College)

Título: Conformal higher-spin theory and twistors

Resumo: In this talk we will review the role played by conformal gravity and it's higher-spin analogues

in understanding conformal field theory and particularly it’s role in the
conjectured AdS/CFT correspondence. We will then discuss the use of
twistor theory to give a mathematically elegant and computationally
efficient method for performing calculations in conformal higher spin theory.
