"1/16 BPS States in N=4 SYM"*

Location: Jadwin Hall, PCTS Seminar Room

Time: 2:30 PM

Speaker(s): Chi-Ming Chang, Harvard University

*Description:* In this talk I will discuss the problem of counting 1/16 
BPS operators in N=4 Super-Yang-Mills theory at weak coupling. I will 
present the complete set of 1/16 BPS operators in the infinite N limit, 
which agrees with the counting of free BPS multi-graviton states in the 
gravity dual AdS5xS5. I will then present an conjecture that all 1/16 
BPS operators in N=4 SYM are of the multi-graviton form, and give 
numerical evidences for this conjecture. I will discuss the implication 
of the conjecture and the seeming failure in reproducing the entropy of 
large 1/16 BPS black holes in AdS5. This talk is based on 1305.6314 with 
Xi Yin.
