• Applications of Moonshine Symmetry in String Theory 

      Chattopadhyaya, Aradhita
      In this thesis we study the applications of Mathieu moonshine symmetry to compacti cations of supersymmetric string theories. These theories are compacti ed on a 6 dimensional manifold K3 T2. The main ingredient in ...
    • Aspects of conformal field theories at finite temperature 

      Dutta Chowdhury, Subham
      In this thesis we have studied broadly two aspects of thermal field theory. We began by examining how the macroscopic system (described by relativistic hydrodynamics) behalves in presence of microscopic anomalies. We ...
    • Aspects of time dependence in quantum quenches 

      Khetrapal, Surbhi
      In this thesis we study the time dependence of correlators such as Green function, entanglement (Renyi) entropy and mutual information following quantum quench in Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) and their holographic duals ...
    • Higher Spins, Entanglement Entropy And Holography 

      Datta, Shouvik (2017-08-21)
      The idea of holography [1, 2] finds a concrete realization in form of the AdS/CFT correspondence [3, 4]. This duality relates a field theory with conformal symmetries to quantum gravity living in one higher dimension. In ...
