Four-dimensional Vasiliev Theory: An Introduction
Speaker:Pan Kessel (MPI für Gravitationsphysik Potsdam)
Abstract:im Rahmen des Seminars für Mathematische Physik: In this talk, I will give a lightning introduction to four-dimensional Vasiliev Theory which is a non-linear field theory containing massless gauge fields with spin greater than 2. I will review its basic formulation and sketch its applications in the context of AdS/CFT.

Many body physics using tensor networks
Speaker:Frank Verstraete (Vienna)
Abstract:Joint Theoretical Physics Seminar: We will describe how the theory of entanglement provides a novel language for describing quantum many body systems. We will demonstrate how the ensuing quantum tensor n etworks allow for the classification of topological quantum phases of matter.
