Entanglement entropy at non-equilibrium in holography
Abstract: In recent years, holographic models have proved to be successful at studying far-from-equilibrium physics. This provides a new approach to studying quantum quenches in strongly coupled systems. In this talk, based on ArXiv:1705.04696, I will focus on the local quench-like time evolution obtained by joining two 1+1 dimensional heat baths at different temperatures. I will present results for the entanglement entropy of different entangling regions obtained by adapting the time-dependent Hubeny-Rangamani-Takayanagi prescription. The interest of this study relies on the presence of emergent collective behavior, which can provide insight into the interplay between quantum

Quest for Unification.
Abstract: Grand unification of the strong, electromagnetic and weak forces, especially in conjunction with Einstein’s general relativity, yields a number of striking testable predictions. We consider both supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric models, and highlight predictions related to LHC physics including dark matter, magnetic monopoles and primordial gravity waves.
