SPS Journal Club: ‘Axion-Scalar Systems and Dynamical Distances’
Journal clubsStrings, Pheno and the Swampland (SPS) Journal Club Speaker: Gonzalo F. Casas (IFT) Title: 'Axion-Scalar Systems and Dynamical Distances' Abstract: We study the cosmology of axion-scalar pairs, coupled by a hyperbolic field-space metric and with a string-motivated rational scalar potential. Borrowing tools from the theory of dynamical systems, we are able to classify all late-time […]

Seminar: ‘Beyond the Minimal Axion: Robustness of Standard Predictions’
IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainScientific activitiesTitle: 'Beyond the Minimal Axion: Robustness of Standard Predictions' Speaker: Sung Mook Lee (CERN) Venue & Time: Red Room / 15:00 Abstract: The QCD axion is one of the most compelling candidates for physics beyond the Standard Model, as it can simultaneously solve the strong CP problem and account for the dark matter abundance. In the minimal […]

Seminar: ‘Observing Quantum Gravity in Extremely Cold Horizons’
IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainScientific activitiesTitle: 'Observing Quantum Gravity in Extremely Cold Horizons' Speaker: Roberto Emparan (Universidad de Barcelona) Venue&Time: Red Room / 15:00 Abstract: Recent developments have revealed that black holes near extremality exhibit large quantum fluctuations in their geometry, marking a controllable breakdown of semiclassical quantum field theory in curved spacetime. In this talk, I will discuss how […]

IFT Colloquium: ‘QCD critical point and the predictable randomness of relativistic fluids’
IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainColloquiaTitle: 'QCD critical point and the predictable randomness of relativistic fluids' Speaker: Misha A. Stephanov (Illinois U., Chicago) Venue&Time: 12:00 / Red Room Abstract: Quantum Chromodynamics predicts a variety of unusual states of matter in which relativity and quantum many-body physics strongly intertwine. Discovering phase transitions between these extreme forms of matter in a laboratory […]

Quantum Information Journal Club: ‘Rapid mixing for Gibbs measures in Riemannian manifolds’
Grey Room 2 Instituto de Física Teórica, Madrid, Madrid, SpainJournal clubsSpeaker: Pablo Páez-Velasco (Universidad Complutense de Madrid) Venue & Time: Gray Room 2 / 14:30 Abstract: Given some sufficiently smooth, generally non-convex, function F on a Riemannian manifold, and a fixed inverse temperature, the problem of sampling with respect to the associated Gibbs distribution has played a central role in several areas, such as statistical […]
