Description
 
It is organised in collaboration with the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN).
 
ICTP's annual Spring School on Superstring Theory and Related Topics provides pedagogical treatment of those subjects through lectures by some of the world's top string and quantum field theorists. The activity is intended for theoretical physicists or mathematicians with knowledge of quantum field theory, general relativity, and string theory.


Speakers and topics:
Zohar Komargodski, Simons Center for Geometry and Physics
Extended operators and defects in quantum field theory

Kantaro Ohmori, Tokyo University
Higher linear algebra for theoretical physics

Herman Verlinde, Princeton University
Double scaled SYK and de Sitter holography

 
The 2024 Dirac Medal and Prize Ceremony takes place during the school. For more information on the winners and Dirac Medallists Ceremony.
