[math-ias] Reminder: HET Seminar Today at PU

[Lisa Fleischer]

*High Energy Theory Seminar, **Friday, November 16, 2012

"Time Crystals"*

Location: Jadwin Hall, PCTS Seminar Room

Time: 1:30 PM

Speaker(s): Alfred Shapere, University of Kentucky

*Description:* I consider a class of simple classical dynamical systems 
which exhibit motion in their lowest-energy states. Their Lagrangians 
have wrong-sign kinetic terms and their Hamiltonians are multivalued 
functions of momentum, yet they are amenable to quantization. Their 
field theoretical generalizations may have applications in condensed 
matter physics and cosmology.
