Geometry & Physics seminar: Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity, Teichmüller spaces, and the Virasoro algebra
ICTP
Leonardo Building - Luigi Stasi Seminar Room
Abstract:
In this talk, we will explain the relation between (infinite dimensional) Teichmüller spaces of hyperbolic metrics on oriented 2-manifolds with ideal boundary and the Virasoro algebra. This work is motivated by recent results on Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity, and by the study of moduli spaces of flat connections on surfaces with boundary.
The talk is based on a joint work with Eckhard Meinrenken, see arXiv:2401.03029
