Pheno Journal Club: ‘Is the Strong CP Problem Really a Problem?’
Gray Room 3 Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainJournal clubsSpeaker: Giulio Barni (IFT) Venue & Time: 14:30 – 15:30 Abstract: The vanishingly small value of the QCD θ-angle inferred from neutron EDM bounds is usually taken as evidence for the Strong CP Problem, prompting a wide range of proposed solutions. In this talk, I will first review what the Strong CP Problem is: why […]

EDI Trainings: ‘Intersectionality. Reflection on identity, privilege and positioning in academia’
Blue Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) - C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainScientific activitiesSpeaker: Shannah Khan. Director of Intersect Madrid Venue & Time: Blue Room / 3:30 PM Abstract: This workshop offers a space for reflection and dialogue to explore how our personal identities, experiences, and social positions influence the way we participate in academic contexts. Through participatory activities, it seeks to foster a deeper understanding of intersectionality […]

String, Pheno and the Swampland Journal Club: ‘Anomaly-induced vanishing of brane partition functions’
IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainJournal clubsSpeaker: Michelangelo Tartaglia (IFT) Venue & Time: Red Room / 12:00 Abstract: In the presence of 't Hooft anomalies, backgrounds for the symmetries of a quantum field theory can lead to non-conservation of Noether currents, or more generally, to the presence of charged insertions in the path integral. When there is a net background charge, […]

Seminar: Constraining Muon decay parameters from CEvNS measurements at Spallation Sources
Scientific activitiesSpeaker: Suraj Prakash, IFIC (Valencia) Venue&Time: Red Room / 3:00 PM Abstract: The talk will present a study of the sensitivity of COHERENT-like experiments to non-standard neutrino interactions within the vWEFT framework, i.e. low-energy EFT with additional right-handed Dirac neutrinos. Our analysis incorporates, for the first time, flavor-general New Physics effects in both neutrino production […]

Seminar: Quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories with Rydberg atom arrays
IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainScientific activitiesSpeaker: Daniel González Cuadra (IFT) Venue&Time: Red Room / 15:00 Abstract: Lattice gauge theories (LGTs) describe a broad range of phenomena in condensed matter and particle physics. A prominent example is confinement, responsible for bounding quarks inside hadrons such as protons or neutrons. When quark-antiquark pairs are separated, the energy stored in the string of […]

Holo Club: ‘Complexity equals anything for multi-horizon black holes’
Gray Room 3 Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainJournal clubsSpeaker: Hong-Yue Jiang (Lanzhou University) Venue&Time: 11:30 / Gray Room 3 Abstract: We investigate the ``complexity equals anything" proposal with codimension-one and codimension-zero gravitational observables for multi-horizon black holes, using the Bardeen-AdS class black hole as an example. In particular, we compare the results with the ``complexity equals volume" (CV) proposal and find that the […]

GRASS Seminar: ‘Electric-magnetic duality of dyonic Kerr-Newman-NUT-AdS spacetimes’
Scientific activitiesGRASS (GRAvity, Supergravity & Superstrings) Seminar Speaker: Cristóbal Andrés Corral (Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez, Chle) Venue & Time: Red Room / 15:00 Abstract: We discuss the (anti-)self-duality conditions under which the electric and magnetic parts of the conserved charges of the dyonic Kerr-Newman-NUT-AdS solution become equivalent. Within a holographic framework, the stress tensor and the boundary […]
