معرفی
Nathan Benjamin is an Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Southern California (USC). His research focuses on theoretical physics, particularly in quantum gravity, conformal field theories (CFTs), and their holographic dualities. He holds a PhD in Physics from Stanford University (2018) and a B.S. in Physics from MIT (2013). His work bridges high-energy physics with mathematical structures, exploring topics like modular forms, resurgence phenomena, and the interplay between geometry and quantum systems.
Benjamin’s research interests include 2D CFT partition functions, Liouville theory, and the application of bootstrap methods to uncover universal properties of quantum field theories. He investigates black hole thermodynamics, AdS/CFT correspondence, and emergent spacetime geometries from holographic principles. His contributions often involve advanced mathematical techniques, such as automorphic forms and analytic number theory, to address foundational questions in quantum gravity.
His recent work explores thermal QFTs, duality-invariant distance measures, and symmetric product orbifold CFTs. These studies highlight his focus on unifying theoretical frameworks across particle physics, string theory, and mathematical physics. Benjamin’s publications reflect a commitment to interdisciplinary approaches, addressing topics like S-duality in deformed CFTs and the role of modular symmetry in gravitational systems.
