Coloquio DIFT: Lisa Randall

Speaker: Prof. Lisa Randall, Harvard University, USA 

Title: 25 Years of Warped Geometry

Abstract: In this talk I review the work done with Raman Sundrum and Andreas Karch on models of warped geometry in five-dimensional space that have interesting four-dimensional consequences. I review applications to particle physics, cosmology, string theory, and general relativity. I briefly introduce some more recent work on those subjets.

Prof. Lisa Randall is a world leader in the field of the nature and dimensions of space. She researches dark matter, cosmology of dimensions, baryogenesis, cosmic inflation, the Standard Model, supersymmetry, and potential solutions to the hierarchy problem about the relative weakness of gravity.
