talk Session II. Time travel and consistency

Speaker

Ana Alonso-Serrano (Institut für Physik, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin)

Description

In this talk I analyze the construction of quantum field theory in spacetimes that contain regions with closed timelike curves (CTCs). Additionally, I explore how particle detectors can discern the presence of CTCs in causally disconnected regions and differentiate between various spacetime topologies.
