Edward Witten, Superstring Perturbation Theory Revisited (Strings 2012)
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 3 Φεβ 2013
This
is the talk given by one of the most influential physicists alive
today, Edward Witten, at Strings 2012. This talk takes a fresh view on
what can be said about perturbation theory for superstrings. The topics
discussed here can be found in the following paper (of the same name)
by Witten:
http://arxiv.org/abs/1209.5461
Witten
is a theoretical physicist at the Institute for Advanced Study,
Princeton (IAS), and is widely regarded as the greatest living physicist
and the heir of Einstein. There is not enough room in this description
to do his astounding career justice, but he played a vital role in the
development of string theory and was the first physicist to receive the
highest honor in mathematics, the Fields medal. Witten resolved the
hierarchy problem, developed Seiberg-Witten theory, Gromov-Witten
theory, worked on the gravitational anomaly.... the list goes on.
The
Strings conference is the largest annual meeting of string theorists,
and includes the biggest names in the subject giving talks on
advancements made in essentially every aspect of the theory. Anyone who
is interested in the subject should be quite interested in these talks!
(I'm hoping to actually attend the conference this year in Seoul... but
we'll see...)
The lectures can be found, viewed, and downloaded
from free from the website for the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität
München, which was the venue for the conference in 2012). In particular,
there are many more lectures which do not appear in this playlist
(these are merely the lectures I personally find most interesting).
