Alejandro Puga (IFT) will present "Particle Spectrum in Quantum Field Theory" de Alexander M. Polyakov (JETP Lett. 20 (1974) 194-195) Abstract: We investigate the nonperturbative structure of quantum field theories and its consequences for the physical spectrum of excitations. Emphasis is placed on the role of instantons—topologically nontrivial field configurations—which contribute essentially to tunneling processes and […]

Title: 'Probabilistic modeling and Bayesian inference for collider data' Speaker: Santiago Tanco (IFLP-CONICET/UNLP) Venue&Time: Gray Room 1 / 11:00
Strings, Pheno and the Swampland Journal Club Title: 'Mapping moduli across heterotic conifolds' Speaker: Christian Aoufia (IFT) Venue & Time: Red Room / 12:00 Abstract: In this work, we provide evidence for a duality between 4-dimensional Calabi-Yau compactifications of the heterotic string, in which the base manifolds are linked by a conifold transition. In recent […]
Title: 'GeV-scale QCD Axion' Speaker: Thomas Steingasser (IFT) Venue & Time: 12:00 / Gray Room 3 Abstract: In order to solve the strong CP problem, we study the possibility that the Peccei–Quinn symmetry is broken below the QCD scale. We find that a QCD axion can be above GeV, and may be among the observed […]
Gonzalo F. Casas (IFT) will present 'Topological Quantization and Cohomology' by Orlando Álvarez Commun.Math.Phys. 100 (1985) 279 Abstract: The relationships between topological charge quantization,Lagrangians and various cohomology theories are studied. A very general criterion for charge quantization is developed andapplied to various physical models. The relationship betweencohomology and homotopy is discussed.

Speaker: Albert Gasull, Leiden University Venue & Time: Grey Room 3 / 11:30 Title: 'Continuous and field tensor network states' Abstract: Tensor network methods have provided us with a powerful set of tools with which to study strongly interacting many-body systems on the lattice. Understanding the limitations of this ansatz is paramount for the success […]
