Topic: An application of tensor networks : understanding the AdS/CFT correspondence and aspects of quantum gravity

Speaker: Prof. Ling-Yan Hung

Coordinates: Classroom 5106, 4pm, Friday, Apr. 2

Abstract: In this talk, we will review how tensor networks emerged as a powerful tool to understand the AdS/CFT correspondence. We will demonstrate how various aspects of the AdS/CFT correspondence could emerge in a tensor network very naturally. If there is time, I will demonstrate in a toy version of the AdS/CFT correspondence -- namely the p-adic AdS/CFT, how a discrete version of Einstein equation is hidden in a tensor network.
