Symmetries Approach to Non-Supersymmetric String Backgrounds

Explore a 43-minute conference talk on "Symmetries Approach to Non-Supersymmetric String Backgrounds" presented by Jonathan Heckman from the University of Pennsylvania. Recorded as part of the Spacetime and String Theory conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP), this lecture delves into cutting-edge research in string theory. Gain insights into new perspectives on the nature of spacetime, from qubit models of black hole information to string worldsheet theory. Discover recent progress in non-perturbative string theory, stringy constraints on effective field theory, and the connections between gravitational path integrals, higher topologies, and entanglement. Engage with a synthesis of quantum information, string compactification techniques, and holographic dualities beyond anti-de Sitter space as the talk bridges the divide between infrared and ultraviolet physics in string theory.
