A Strong Quantum Effect on the Dynamics of Moduli
Mathematical Physics| Speaker: | Indrajit Mitra, Berkeley |
| Location: | 593 Kerr |

Description
In this talk I shall describe how the dynamics of moduli
(massless fields) can be strongly influenced by purely quantum effects. We
shall describe the effect of pair-production: first in a field theory
setting and then purely in string theory. I shall also point out some
implications of this result in cosmology.
