Probability Seminar: Group Field Theory
- Date: 10/21/2009
Lecturer(s):
Razvan Gurau (Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics)
Location:
University of British Columbia
Description:
Group field theory is the higher-dimensional generalization of random
matrix models. As it has built-in scales and automatically sums over
metrics and discretizations, it provides a combinatoric origin for
space time. Its graphs facilitate a new approach to algebraic topology.
I exemplify this approach by introducing a graph's cellular structure
and associated homology.
