SUMMARY:Decoding Divergent Distances
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: John Stout\, Harvard University \nTitle: Decoding Divergent Distances \nAbstract: Motivated by a relationship between the Zamolodchikov and NLSM metrics to the so-called quantum information metric\, I will discuss recent work (2106.11313) on understanding infinite distance limits within the context of information theory. I will describe how infinite distance points represent theories that are hyper-distinguishable\, in the sense that they can be distinguished from “nearby” theories with certainty in relatively few measurements. I will then discuss necessary and sufficient ingredients for the appearance of these infinite distance points\, illustrate these in simple examples\, and describe how this perspective can help the swampland program.
