Title: [NTU-NCTS String Seminar] Quantum Improved Black Holes in Asymptotically Safe Gravity
Speaker: Prof. Chiang-Mei Chen (National Central University)

Venue: Rm. 815, Dept. of Physics, NTU

Abstract:
In this talk, I will discuss the quantum improvement of black hole solutions in the context of asymptotic safety. The Newton coupling in this formulation depends on an energy scale, which must be identified with some length scale in order to study physical consequences to black holes. We propose that the consistency of the first law of thermodynamics is the principle that should determine physically sensible scale identification, at least close to the horizon. I will discuss some interesting physical consequences, such as the phase structure of the quantum improved black holes.
