Video Library
Since 2002 Perimeter Institute has been recording seminars, conference talks, and public outreach events using video cameras installed in our lecture theatres. Perimeter now has 7 formal presentation spaces for its many scientific conferences, seminars, workshops and educational outreach activities, all with advanced audio-visual technical capabilities. Recordings of events in these areas are all available On-Demand from this Video Library and on Perimeter Institute Recorded Seminar Archive (PIRSA).
PIRSA is a permanent, free, searchable, and citable archive of recorded seminars from relevant bodies in physics. This resource has been partially modelled after Cornell University's arXiv.org.

In one extreme, where the interactions
are sufficiently weak compared to the interactions, electrons form a “Fermi
liquid” – the state that accounts for the properties of simple metals. In the other extreme, where the interactions
are dominant, the electrons form various “Mott” insulating or “Wigner
crystalline” phases, often characterized by broken spatial and/or magnetic symmetries. Corresponding charge and/or magnetically
ordered insulating phases are common in nature.Collection/Series:Scientific Areas:

I will present recent work,
done in collaboration with Daniel Roberts, on the global memory of initial
conditions that is sometimes, but not always, retained by fluctuating fields on
de Sitter space, Euclidean anti de Sitter space, and regular infinite trees. I
will discuss applications to the structure of configuration space in de Sitter
space and eternal inflation.Collection/Series:Scientific Areas:

Recent advances in analytical theory and numerical methods
enable some long-standing questions about transport in one dimension to be
answered; these questions are closely related to transport experiments in
quasi-1D compounds. The spinless fermion chain with nearest-neighbor
interactions at half-filling, or equivalently the XXZ model in zero magnetic
field, is an example of an integrable system in which no conventional conserved
quantity forces dissipationless transport (Drude weight); we show that there isCollection/Series:Scientific Areas:

I will discuss a
path-integral representation of continuum tensor networks that extends the
continuous MPS class for 1-D quantum fields to arbitrary spatial dimensions
while encoding desirable symmetries. The physical states can be interpreted as
arising through a continuous measurement process by a lower dimensional virtual
field with Lorentz symmetry. The resultant physical states naturally obey
entropy area laws, with the expectation values of observables determined by theCollection/Series:Scientific Areas:
