Strings 2025: Day 4 de Sitter

Today was concluded with Sandip's talk, which I enjoyed very much. I found Anninos' talk very good too, and there are quite a few pictures I took. However, I will limit how many I post right now and instead have a dedicated Strings 2025 gallery page up by tomorrow. 

Hi Anninos

Deformed CFTs.

Anninos' talk was very interesting.

Cumrun had a question just then

Holography and $T\overline{T}+\Lambda _{2}$ deformations.

I couldn't hear him for a while because I had my speakers on low volume. Dumb me,
