Talks

In this talk I will present a string-theoretic construction of a nonlocal QFT where fundamental particles puff-up to occupy a three-dimensional volume. This theory is not Lorentz invariant, but Lorentz invariance is restored in the IR limit. I will also discuss a proposal for the supergravity dual. It has peculiar properties near the boundary, such as infinite redshift in frequency combined with infinite blueshift in wavelength.
