Title: Topological quantum field theory in 3+1D and the emergent Einstein gravity

Speaker: Prof. Zheng-Cheng Gu (The Chinese University of Hong Kong)
Time: June 14, 10:00 am
Place: Rm M830, IOP-CAS

Abstract: 
Einstein gravity is closely related to topological quantum field theory(TQFT) in 2+1D, such as Chern Simons theory. In this talk, I will discuss new types of TQFT in 3+1D and its corresponding three-loop braiding process. By adding super symmetry (SUSY) into such kind of TQFT, I will show how Einstein gravity might emerge at low energy via spontaneous breaking of SUSY.
