In the mean time, the number of subsribers to this blog has hit the magic number 100 (and peaked at 108 :-)) Thanks for subscribing, new readers, you are very much welcome! (…)
88. Belavin and Zamolodchikov on 2D quantum gravity
Both people are among inventors of conformal field theory, string theory and the chapter of field theory that is called “integrable systems” nowadays, so naturally, one cannot help taking an hour of her time and learn what each of them has new to say. (…)
83. Quintessence on the string theory landscape?
Nemanja Kaloper and Lorenzo Sorbo have recently released a paper explaining how the quintessence can be realized on string theory landscape. What is quintessence and why the question is important? (…)
81. Edward Witten’s talk on 3D gravity
Fascinating video of Edward Witten’s talk on 3D quantum gravity given at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study.The picture that goes back to Deser, ‘t Hooft and Jackiw is the following. (…)
80. Watching worlds collide: bubbles, bubbles, bubbles
Getting tired of malicious attacks by anti-landscapists, Spencer Chang, Matt Kleban and Thomas Levi released a paper about one observable effect on string theory landscape. (…)
