Address (Room): Building 21 Lecture Theatre 5 (CA-21.G.03)
- Description
- In this lecture, the notions of inflation in the
early universe, and dark energy and dark matter in the current universe, will be introduced. The
possible theoretical solutions to these problems will be discussed, as well as
their relation to high-energy particle physics. This will be followed by a
discussion of unsolved problems in the new cosmology.Speakers: Professor Sergey Ketov, head of the Theoretical High-Energy Physics Lab at Tokyo Metropolitan University, and associate member of the Kavli Institute for Physics and Mathematics of the Universe at the University of Tokyo, Japan. He obtained his PhD in Moscow in 1986 at the Ginzburg Lab of theoretical physics at the Physical Institute of the Soviet Academy of Sciences in the USSR. Prior to his current appointment in Japan, he worked at various teaching and research positions at the University of Hannover, Germany, and the University of Maryland at College Park in the USA. His research interests are centred on quantum field theory, supersymmetry and supergravity, string theory and theoretical cosmology.
