| The decay of solutions of the linear wave equation on flat spacetime |
| Speaker: | Jérémie Joudioux (University of Vienna, Physics) |
| Abstract: | The purpose of the talk is to explain some basics methods used to study the
asymptotic properties of solutions of the linear wave equation on the flat space-
time. The vector field method, which relies on the geometric structure of the
equation, will be explained, and then used to derive conservations of energy for
solutions of the wave equation. Then, the Klainerman-Sobolev inequalities will
be derived, so that the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the wave equation can
be described in detail. Finally, we will discuss the obstacles to the generalization
of these results on black hole backgrounds. |

| Open String Field Theory: charting the BCFT landscape |
| Speaker: | Martin Schnabl (Prague, Inst. Phys.) |
| Abstract: | Using the example of the critical Ising model, I will show how open string field theory is supposed to know about possible conformal boundary conditions in 2d CFTs.
