A New 2D String Theory and Matrix Model Duality

Explore a cutting-edge lecture on a novel duality between 2D string theory and matrix models presented by Scott Collier from the Center for Theoretical Physics. Delivered at the Spacetime and String Theory conference, this 39-minute talk delves into recent advancements in string theory and its implications for our understanding of spacetime. Gain insights into the latest research bridging the gap between infrared and ultraviolet perspectives in string theory, including quantum information, string compactification, and holographic dualities beyond anti-de Sitter space. Discover how this new duality contributes to the ongoing synthesis of non-perturbative string theory, effective field theory constraints, and the connections between gravitational path integrals, higher topologies, and entanglement across energy scales.
