School Colloquium (On Friday) ——From information geometry to emergent geometry

2018-06-22 15:00-16:00 Room 1114, Sciences Building No. 1

Abstract: In this talk we will explain some surprising  applications of ideas from statistics and statistical physics to some geometric problems arising from string theory. We will show that Fisher information, entropy, fractional quantum Hall effects, phase transition, Wilson renormalization theory, emergent phenomena etc, are the right language to describe the rich quantum field theory related to mirror symmetry.
