THE SEMINAR

THEORY OF DUALITY

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN PHYSICS



On the 12th of November 2015, at 10:15 a.m.

Piotr Waluk (KMMF WFUW)

will give a talk on

"A curious property of the near-horizon geometry"

Abstract
For every extremal black hole (in any dimension) there exists a well-defined notion of its near-horizon geometry. I will present the derivation and discuss some incentives that motivate investigation of this concept. I will also show that every near-horizon geometry allows a foliation consisting entirely of Killing horizons, a property that seems to have passed unnoticed until now.

The seminar takes place on Thursdays from 10:15 a.m. to 12:00 in the room 2.23 of the main building of the Faculty of Physics (the 2nd floor), Pasteur Str. 5, Warszawa.
