Holographic Methods and Applications

Scope

The 2014 annual workshop of the ESF network HoloGrav will be held in Reykjavík, Iceland, on August 18-22, 2014. The meeting will provide an overview and assessment of recent progress in applying holographic methods to various strongly coupled quantum systems. Focus topics include:

• quantum entanglement
• out of equilibrium dynamics in condensed matter and in heavy ion collisions
• explicit and spontaneous symmetry breaking in holographic models
• holography for higher spin theories
• integrability in supersymmetric gauge theories

Timetable

Format

The meeting starts at 9.30 am on Monday and ends on Friday at 5.00 pm. It is primarily intended for members of the HoloGrav network, but other scientists working in the area of research covered by the network may apply as well.
