Finite Deformations of Quantum Mechanics
T. Banks
We investigate modifications of quantum mechanics (QM) that replace the unitary group in a finite dimensional Hilbert space with a finite group and determine the minimal sequence o…
On the Limits of Effective Quantum Field Theory: Eternal Inflation, Landscapes, and Other Mythical Beasts
T. Banks
We recapitulate multiple arguments that Eternal Inflation, and the String Landscape are actually part of the Swampland: ideas in Effective Quantum Field Theory that do not have a c…
Holographic Space-time Models in Dimensions
T. Banks
We construct Holographic Space-time models that reproduce the dynamics of dimensional string theory. The necessity for a dilaton field in the effective Lagrangian f…
The Super BMS Algebra, Scattering and Holography
T. Banks
I propose that the proper framework for gravitational scattering theory is the rep- resentation theory of the super-BMS algebra of Awada, Gibbons and Shaw[1], and its generalizatio…
Supersymmetry Breaking and the Cosmological Constant
T. Banks
I review three attempts to explain the small value of the cosmological constant, and their connection to SUSY breaking. They are The String Landscape, Supersymmetric Large Extra Di…
Lectures on Holographic Space Time
T. Banks
Summary of three talks on the Holographic Space Time models of early universe cosmology, particle physics, and the asymptotically de Sitter final state of our universe.
