New academic year for the journal club!

Dear all, this academic year's journal club will kick off on October 10th, as follows



Other papers that are up for discussion are:

  • "Kerr Black Holes as Elementary Particles" by Nima Arkani-Hamed, Yu-tin Huang and Donal O'Connell https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.10100  

    "From Scattering Amplitudes to Classical Physics: Universality, Double Copy and Soft Theorems" by Y. F. Bautista, A. Guevara, https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.12419                                                                                                           
  • "Bounds on chaos from the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis" by C. Murthy, M. Srednicki, https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.10808

    "Typicality and thermality in 2d CFT" by S. Datta, P. Kraus, B. Michel https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.00668

    "Lack of thermalization in (1+1)-d QCD at large Nc" by Axel Cortés Cubero, Neil J. Robinson https://arxiv.org/pdf/1908.00270.pdf
                                                                             
  • "Conformality Lost" by David B. Kaplan, Jong-Wan Lee, Dam T. Son, Mikhail A. Stephanov   https://arxiv.org/abs/0905.4752 

    "Symmetry Breaking in Coupled SYK or Tensor Models" by J. Kim, I. Klebanov, G. Tarnopolsky, W. Zhao https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.02287
  • "A Universal Relation Between Corrections to Entropy and Extremality" by Garrett Goon, Riccardo Penco https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.05254 

You are welcome to propose other papers by clicking the comments button below. Also, since the ideal is to have a discussion about these papers,  it would be great if as many people as possible read the papers ahead of time.

Here is some practical information for this year's newcomers

where : CPHT, Ecole Polytechnique, Salle de Conférence Louis Michel (Bât.6)

when:   every other Friday at 2:15 p.m., starting Oct. 10th

topics:  recent papers on the quantum structure of black holes, bulk effective field theory, bulk reconstruction (via bootstrap/entanglement), asymptotic symmetries (BMS)

how it works: one person prepares a presentation, and everyone else reads the paper and prepares for a discussion. Papers can either be chosen from the suggested readings on this website, or the speaker can suggest a paper to read, which should fit with the general topic of the journal club.
