Title:
"Dark Energy and the Degrees
of Freedom of String Theory"
Date: Monday, April 19, 2004
Time: 4:10 p.m.
Place: 55 Roessler Hall
Host: Kaloper
Dark energy, which dominates the dynamics of the universe at large scales and long times, is also tied up with the microphysics of gravity. After explaining this relation in broad terms, I will overview recent progress in modeling the dark energy, and the associated entropy, in string theory.
