High Energy seminars are usually held on Tuesdays at 14:30 p.m. in the Luigi Stasi Seminar Room (1st floor) and on Thursdays at 14:30 p.m. in the Euler Lecture Hall (Lower level '0').
Informal seminars may also take place on Mondays and Fridays in the Euler Lecture Hall.
String Seminars in Trieste is a monthly activity organized jointly by the High Energy Physics groups of ICTP and SISSA. Each event consists of two seminars given by two external speakers. The aim is to gather all theoretical physicists working in string theory and related topics in the Trieste area, and have the opportunity to get updated on what's going on in our field world-wide. The seminars take place either at ICTP or SISSA, alternately. Link to the Webpage for more information and future activities.
All seminars are announced on the High Energy board (2nd floor, near the High Energy Secretariat).
Also check the announcements on ICTP notice boards regularly.
The mail list for our ICTP seminars is he-sem@lists.ictp.it
If you are interested in subscribing to the SISSA mailing lists, you should follow the instructions on the high-energy mailing list seminars or all the mailing lists.

Duality symmetry, Hesse potential and connections to topological string
Abstract. The topological string captures certain superstring amplitudes which are also encoded in the underlying string effective action. However, unlike the topological string free energy, the N=2 string effective action including higher derivative couplings, is not defined in terms of duality covariant variables. We shall discuss this in the context of N=2 supergravity by introducing the Hesse potential defined in terms of duality covariant variables and is related by a Legendre transformation to the function that encodes the effective action. The non-holomorphic deformations of this function have been included for obtain results for the more general case. It is then demonstrated that the Hesse potential contains a unique subsector which can be identified with topological string free energy and it satisfies the holomorphic anomaly equation of topological string theory.
