Journal clubs

Strings, Pheno and the Swampland (SPS) Journal Club. Every Thursday at 12:00 in the Red Room. Title: Tensionless String Limits in AdS5/CFT4 and the Sharpened Distance Conjecture Speaker: Gabriel Fenati (IFT) Venue&Time: Red Room / 12:00 Abstract: Based on work in progress with M. Montero and I. Valenzuela. We extend the results of by showing […]

Samuel Rosende (IFT) will present "Infinite Heat Order in 3+1 Dimensions" Venue&Time: Gray Room 2 / 12:00 Abstract: We investigate whether spontaneous symmetry breaking can persist up to arbitrarily high temperature in ultraviolet-complete quantum field theories in four spacetime dimensions. We focus on completely asymptotically free models with gauge group SU(Nc1)×SU(Nc2) and two complex scalar […]

Speaker: Muktajyoti Saha (ICTS-TIFR, Bengaluru) Title: (Quantum) evolution of de Sitter black holes Venue & Time: Blue Room / 11:30 Abstract: I will discuss the evolution of charged black holes in asymptotically de Sitter spacetime. These black holes evolve towards a thermal equilibrium with the cosmological horizon. At very low temperatures i.e. close to extremality, […]

Strings, Pheno and the Swampland (SPS) Journal Club. Every Thursday at 12:00 in the Red Room. Bruno Bento (IFT) will present: 'Regge trajectories for UV completions of graviton scattering from polynomial boundedness' Venue & Time: Red Room / 12:00 Abstract: We study graviton scattering amplitudes. Assuming they are UV completed by a theory of weakly […]

Every Thursday at 12:00 in Grey Room 2.

Title: 'Machine Learning in Astroparticle Physics' Speaker: Daniel Nieto Castaño (IPARCOS/UCM) Venue&Time: Gray Room 2 / 11:00 Abstract: This seminar presents the motivation for employing machine learning (ML) techniques to mitigate some experimental limitations within the field of astroparticle physics. We will briefly review selected applications across various detection domains, specifically addressing astrophysical neutrinos, cosmic […]

Title: Holographic transport in anisotropic systems Speaker: Claire Moran (Utrecht University) Venue&Time: Blue Room & Zoom / 11:30 Abstract: Understanding transport in strongly coupled quantum systems remains a central challenge across high-energy physics, condensed matter, and quantum many-body theory. Of particular interest is systems exhibiting anisotropy, where the anisotropy leads to a much richer transport […]

Speaker: Enrico Calogero Domanti Title: "Symmetry-protected topology and deconfined solitons in a multi-link Z2 gauge theory" Venue&Time: Gray Room 3 / 11:30 Abstract: With the advent of quantum simulators, exploring exotic collective phenomena in lattice models with local symmetries and unconventional geometries is at reach of near-term experiments. Motivated by recent progress in this direction, […]
