SUMMARY:Black Holes\, Holography and Microstates - Alberto Zaffaroni (Mila

CONTACT:Professor Nick Dorey
DESCRIPTION: It has been known since the seventies that black holes behave
  as thermodynamical objects and\, in particular\, they have an entropy. To
  explain the microscopical origin of this entropy is a challenge for any t
 heory of quantum gravity. The famous Bekenstein-Hawking formula for the en
 tropy of a black hole also suggests an interpretation based on a holograph
 ic principle. All these ideas nicely combine in the physics of black holes
  in Anti-de-Sitter space\, as I will discuss in this talk. I will discuss 
 recent progresses in understanding this problem\, which involve a combinat
 ion of general relativity and sophisticated quantum field theory computati
 ons.                  \n
