STATISTICAL PHYSICS MEETING
Title : Holographic thermalization of a scalar field
Speaker : Pallab Basu (ICTS-TIFR, Bangalore) Date : Friday, September 5th, 2014
Time : 2:00 p.m.
Venue : ICTS Seminar Room, IISc Campus, Bangalore
Abstract : I will discuss how a scalar field, with quartic interaction, thermalizes in a holographic space time like Anti-De Sitter space. The problem is very similar to scalar field thermalization in a box or any other bounded domain. We also discuss aspect of thermalization through black-hole formation.
