Low dimensional Quantum gravity using Virasoro TQFT
Sounak Pal
(IIT, Gandhinagar, India)
ABSTRACT
I will discuss some aspects of 2d and 3d quantum gravity in the language of topological quantum field theory (TQFT). Recent developments include calculating various gravity partition functions in AdS3 using descriptions of Liouville conformal field theory (CFT). We sort of extend this formalism for N=1 super Liouville case and use super-Teichmuller TQFT to compute various partition functions of different on-shell manifolds (admitting Hyperbolic metric with constant negative Ricci scalar). I will also touch upon some aspects of quantum chaos and integrable irrelevant deformations. I will also discuss some future extensions possible at the end.
BIOGRAPHY
Sounak Pal is a student of IIT Gandhinagar, pursuing his PhD under Prof Arpan Bhattacharyya. He completed his MSc at RKMVERI (Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Educational and Research Institute) and BSc at Ramakrishna Mission Residential College in Narendrapur, India. Currently he is interested in modern scattering amplitude techniques, Low dimensional perspectives of quantum gravity and TQFT. He is also looking to work on flat space holography and celestial scattering amplitudes.
