Speaker: Gia Dvali (LMU Munich) Date: Wed., January 14 Location: Ludwigstr. 31, ground floor, room 021 Time: 18:15 - 19:45 Title: Corpuscular Structure of Geometry Abstract: We review some recent ideas on quantum-corpuscular structure of gravitational metric backgrounds, such as black holes and cosmological spaces. We show how this picture sheds light on seemingly-mysterious properties, such as, black hole information processing and evaporation, as well as how it excludes eternal de Sitter space. This picture sheds a very different light on notion of "holography" and cosmological constant problem.
