PRD article published today. We derive the density of states for Friedan boundaries of the free compact boson CFT and give a heuristic argument to show that these boundary states do not satisfy a consistency condition called the cluster condition. #physics #research journals.aps.org/prd/abstract...

I got the award for theoretical physics research from my department ✌ #physics #research

I am giving a short talk at the String-Pheno seminar series on May 5th at 11 am Eastern time. The details about the title and abstract will follow soon. Follow the String-Pheno seminar series website (linked below) for more details #Physics #scicomm #research sites.google.com/view/string-...

As I progress in my research, I have started to understand the urge to put all the calculations in the appendix and just quote the results in the main body of the paper #physics #scicomm

This is Einstein equation written explicitly in terms of the metric tensor (the last equation) #physics #scicomm

Seems like my podcast interview with @superconformal.bsky.social is up. I frankly cannot watch myself talking in a video as it gives me a creep, but in case anyone wants to watch it here is the link youtu.be/pvRoC3O3eNY?...

I am on substack now. I will be putting all my past threads on substack as well. Future threads will appear on Twitter, Substack, and my website. Thanks. superconformalhassaan.substack.com?r=26tdsb&utm...

I really want the polls feature on Bluesky #bluesky #bsky #polls

Just another map of the string theory duality frames. #physics #scicomm

Had a nice conversation with Dr. Raghu Mahajan. We talked about string theory as a whole and about the careers of younger scientists. The full episode will be uploaded soon. #physics #scicomm #Podcast

I submitted a request to the Bsky team for two changes to the Bsky website. 1) Internal bookmarking 2) The ability to turn off notifications for likes (I can't find a way to do it). I hope they make these changes soon. Are there any other changes that you think are important?
