DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Elias Kiritsis (University of Crete)\n\nAbstract: It
  has been argued the the presence of regular solutions with an AdS boundar
 y and a cosmological interior will provide a holographic description ofr c
 osmological physics. The search for such solutions at more than two dimens
 ions has been in vain so far. We consider the problem of finding such solu
 tions in a class of ansatze. We classify all such solutions by classifying
  the end points as well as the rules that may or may not allow connecting 
 a given pair of end-points. We do find a possible such solution. Several p
 roblems that remain to be resolved will be commented upon.\n\nBiography: 
 Elias Kiritsis received his PhD in physics from Caltech in 1988. He is a f
 ull professor at the University of Crete and has been a CNRS Research Dire
 ctor since 2002\, reaching the exceptional class in 2025. He held research
  positions at UC Berkeley\, ENS Paris\, CERN (Theory Division\, 1992–98)
 \, École Polytechnique\, and APC Paris. His research spans string phenome
 nology\, brane cosmology\, black hole physics\, holographic QCD\, and stro
 ngly correlated condensed matter systems. He has published 169 papers\, re
 ceived over 15\,000 citations\, and has an h-index of 70. He authored two 
 string theory books (Princeton University Press and Leuven University Pres
 s). He was awarded an EU Marie Curie Excellence Grant (2004)\, an ERC Adva
 nced Grant (2016)\, and a CNRS “prime d’excellence” (2013).\n\nhttps
