String theory and the 3d Ising model

Download to your calendar using vCal

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Francesca Chadha-Day .

We still do not know what string theory is. After emphasizing the continued need for toy models of non-perturbative string theory, I will discuss old and new motivations for a string theory description of the critical behavior of the 3d Ising model. Then I will try to modify the Ising model so that the associated string theory is under better theoretical control, and describe what happens (based on 2003.04349, with Nabil Iqbal).

This talk is part of the Theoretical Physics Colloquium series.
