- Entanglement in String Theory
- Time: 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
- Place: Chamberlin 5280
- Speaker: Upamanyu Moitra, The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics
- Abstract: The finiteness of entanglement entropy in string theory has crucial implications for the information paradox, quantum gravity, and holography. I will describe the recent progress made on establishing this finiteness based on an appropriate orbifold construction. I will describe how one can get a finite and calculable answer for the entanglement entropy in several diverse scenarios, including string compactifications, string theory on AdS3 and heterotic strings.
