Physics

Higher spin symmetries are gauge symmetries sourced by massless particles with spin greater than two. When coupled with diffeomorphism, they give rise to higher spin gravity. After a review on higher spin gravity, I will discuss its holography and its embedding in the string theory. Finally I will talk about some applications of higher spin symmetry, both in string theory and in QFT. 

The core Python language is not particularly powerful or fast for numerical computing.  Fortunately, there is a large "numerical python" library, "numpy", that is a standard part of any Python-using scientist's toolkit.  I will present numpy, the associated "scientific python" library, "scipy", and the popular "matplotlib" plotting library.
