Holographic tension and the radiation-reaction problem

Constantin Bachas (Ecole Nomermale Superiere & NTUA)

Tue Nov 25, 10:00-11:00 (3 weeks ago)

Abstract: I will explain how AdS/CFT allows to define two independent notions of invariant brane tension in gravity. I will prove that supersymmetry identifies them, and explain the relevance of this observation for the old radiation-reaction problem of accelerating charges and heavy quarks.
