Strings, 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 […]
Title: '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 […]
As part of the 4º ESO + Empresa educational programme, the Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) will host a group of secondary-school students from 23 to 26 March. During their stay, students will participate in a series of outreach and educational activities designed to provide a general introduction to theoretical physics research and the day-to-day […]

Title: Unveiling the Universe with Gravitational Waves: a Machine Learning approach Venue & Time: Blue Room / 10:30 Abstract: This thesis is devoted to the study of gravitational waves, combining theoretical investigations with novel applications of machine learning. The first part of the work addresses the dynamics of hyperbolic encounters, a class of transient gravitational […]
Title: '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 […]
