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.

Phenomenological aspects on N=1, four-dimensional Type IIB string theory compactifications with all moduli stabilised
Submitted by Anonymous on November 3, 2012 - 9:37pm
Tuesday Mar 28, 2006
Speaker(s):
I will discuss phenomenological aspects on N=1, four-dimensional Type IIB string theory compactifications with all moduli stabilised. In particular, I will review a class of compactifications with exponentially large volumes of the Calabi-Yau manifold and derive explicit formulae for bulk and D3/D7 moduli masses. Then I will show what patterns of soft supersymmetry breaking terms can arise after renormalisation group running to the weak scale.

Liouville mechanics with an epistemic restriction and Bohr's response to EPR
Submitted by Anonymous on November 3, 2012 - 9:37pm
Wednesday Mar 22, 2006
I will discuss a toy theory that reproduces a wide variety of qualitative features of quantum theory for degrees of freedom that are continuous. The ontology of the theory is that of classical particle mechanics, but it is assumed that there is a constraint on the amount of knowledge that an observer may have about the motional state of any collection of particles -- Liouville mechanics with an epistemic restriction. The formalism of the theory is determined by examining the consequences of this "classical uncertainty principle" on state preparations, measurements, and dynamics.
