Graphene - A string theoretical perspective
Prof. Dr. Charlotte Kristjansen (NBI - Copenhagen University)
10 Nov 2014, 16:00 – 17:00

The particle/string duality, also known as the AdS/CFT correspondence, offers the possibility of accessing a strongly coupled particle theory by means of a weakly coupled string theory. On the basis of this idea one could hope that the putatively strongly coupled graphene electrons in an electromagnetic field would have a dual string theoretical description. We will discuss how one can set up a certain string theoretical model involving higher dimensional Dp-branes which might have the capability of describing certain qualitative features of graphene. In particular, we will discuss how one could hope to describe the quantum Hall effect from the string theoretical perspective.
