Tensor Models: From Matrix Models to Holography

Tensor Models: From Matrix Models to Holography

Explore tensor models as a natural quantum field theoretical generalization of matrix models in this 43-minute lecture by Adrian Tanasa from Bordeaux University. Begin with a brief introduction to matrix models and their successful applications in 2D quantum gravity and other areas of physics. Learn about key concepts such as the 't Hooft large N limit and the double scaling limit mechanism. Delve into the implementation of these concepts for various tensor models, with a focus on the large N limit and double scaling limit mechanisms. Discover the connection between tensor models and the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model, a significant toy model for holography, as initially proposed by Witten and further developed by Klebanov and Tarnopolsky.
