SFT@Cloud Journal Club is a journal club on string field theory (SFT) and related topics (worldsheet theory, string amplitudes, compactifications, homotopy algebras, etc.) on Thursday every two weeks (The first three talks in 2021 were held on Fridays). Talks are 1.5 hours long: the recommended format is a general introduction of 30 min for students and non-specialists (especially before technical talks), followed by 1 hour of talk + discussions intertwined. However, speakers are free to organize their time differently. Speakers can present one of their papers, work in progress, or even other papers they want to discuss.
An informal discussion on gathertown precedes the seminars, and Zulip will be used for continuing discussions after the talk. We hope that this regular journal club will help foster discussions within the SFT community and related fields and seed new collaborations and applications.
Structure:
14:30 – 15:00 (CET) [8:30 (ET), 19:00 (IST), 22:30 (JST)] : informal discussion on gather.town
15:00 – 16:30 (CET) [9:00 (EST), 19:30 (IST), 23:00 (JST)] : talk
