Alessandro Torrielli gives invited talk at the Fundamental Physics UK meeting in Durham

Alessandro Torrielli was at the University of Durham last week (Wednesday to Friday, 16-18 August) to attend an speak at the Fundamental Physics UK (fpuk) meeting (link here). Alessandro gave the first lecture on Friday morning on “The strange world of AdS2 integrability“. In the talk, he reviewed some of the features of integrable scattering in AdS2 backgrounds, paying particular attention to highlighting the differences with respect to AdS3 and higher dimensions. He also surveyed some of the progress obtained in the context of massless scattering in AdS2, and the non-standard techniques that enter the game in this case as opposed to the ordinary AdS/CFT methods.
