| Title: | Warped Black Holes in Lower-Spin Gravity |
| Date (JST): | Tue, Dec 04, 2018, 13:15 - 14:45 |
| Place: | Seminar Room A |
| Abstract: | In this talk I will talk about recent work (1801.07263) showing that (spacelike) warped AdS_3 black hole solutions can be consistently described in a lower-spin gravity theory. This model provides a very simple playground to explore warped black holes and at the same time warped conformal field theories at finite temperature. I will put an emphasis on the basic ideas that are needed to translate geometric statements into a gauge-theoretic language as well as how to compute the thermodynamic properties of warped black holes in this theory. |
