SUMMARY:DIFT Colloquium: 'String Theory and the Dark Sector'
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Cumrun Vafa (Harvard)\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue & Time: Aula Polivalente\, Plaza Mayor UAM / 15:30 \nAbstract: The dark sector — comprising dark energy and dark matter — has remained a profound mystery for decades. In this talk\, I will review this subject and show how string theory naturally leads to a predictive framework for a unified dark sector. I will also discuss how these string-theoretic predictions align with exciting recent cosmological observations from the DES and DESI collaborations. \n\n\nThis seminar is related to the I+D+i project whose reference is CEX2020-001007-S\, funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033. The topic is framed within the following research lines: \n\nOrigin and composition of the universe: Astroparticles and Cosmology (Astro/Cosmo)\nStrings and quantum gravity (Gravity/Strings)
