SUMMARY:Worldsheets\, baby universes\, and asymptotic representation theory
DESCRIPTION:Geometry and Mathematical Physics Seminar \nSpeaker: Elliott Gesteau (MIT & CMSA) \nTitle: Worldsheets\, baby universes\, and asymptotic representation theory \nAbstract: The string worldsheet can be reinterpreted as a baby universe field theory\, a formalism first introduced by Coleman\, Giddings and Strominger and more recently revived by Marolf and Maxfield to deal with third quantization in quantum gravity. In this talk\, I will discuss this reinterpretation in the context of a particularly simple string worldsheet\, and connect it to foundational results in asymptotic representation theory. \n
