SUMMARY:Black hole collapse in large-c CFT - Julian Sonner (Geneva)

DESCRIPTION:Holography (also known as AdS/CFT) is a duality relation that 
 gives us a way of formulating questions about quantum gravity in terms of 
 more ordinary quantum field theories without gravity. A natural and long-s
 tanding goal has been to understand the physics of black holes using holog
 raphic duality. I will report on some recent progress on this question elu
 cidating the spherical collapse of an in-falling shell of null matter in t
 hree dimensional quantum gravity. I will comment on the relation between t
 he physics of thermalization in quantum field theory and the issue of blac
 k-hole information loss.
