Title: "TBA (recent developments in celestial and flat space holography)"

Abstract: TBA

Speaker 2  Stefan Vandoren (UU)
Title: Carroll Stories and Flat Space Holography

Abstract: 

We review some aspects of Carroll symmetries and their conformal extensions, leading to the BMS symmetry algebra. We then construct some BMS invariant field theories in two and three dimensions, some of which might be relevant for flat space holography. 

About

This event is part of a regular series of meetings sponsored by Delta ITP with the objective of bringing together the theoretical physics communities in Amsterdam, Leiden, Utrecht and our sister nodes Groningen, Brussels (ULB and VUB) and Leuven. The topic of this meeting is holography and its applications to different physical systems. We encourage researchers from different areas in theoretical physics to participate!
