SUMMARY:SPS Journal Club: “Applications of categorical symmetries in two dimensions”
DESCRIPTION:Strings\, Pheno and the Swampland (SPS) Journal Club. Every Thursday at 12:00 in the Red Room. \nTitle: “Applications of categorical symmetries in two dimensions” \nVenue & Time: Red Room / 12:00 \n Speaker: \nAbstract: The goal of this talk is to give a quick overview of some of my recent work during the last years. I will begin with a lightning review of what generalised symmetries are and why it might be sensible\nto relax the group multiplication structure. I will then discuss two applications: \n1) In Non Linear Sigma Models\, the presence of such symmetries protects some of the coupling constants from receiving any quantum corrections. From a target space point of view\, this means some of the parameters of the background cannot receive \alpha’ corrections. \n2) In systems of free chiral fermions\, they give rise to the phenomenon of ‘twisted scattering’ (an incoming local operator that gets scattered into a point operator attached to a topological line)\, which help explain some long standing puzzles of the fermion-monopole scattering problem.

SUMMARY:Seminar by E. Dimastrogiovanni: "Probing the Early Universe with Gravitational Wave Anisotropies"
DESCRIPTION:Title: “Probing the Early Universe with Gravitational Wave Anisotropies” \nSpeaker: E. Dimastrogiovanni (Groningen) \nVenue & Time: Red Room / 15:00 \nAbstract: Gravitational-wave astronomy is opening a new window onto the Universe. Beyond the signals from individual events\, such as merging black holes\, we are beginning to uncover a background of gravitational waves that may carry traces of the very early Universe. Many different processes can contribute to this background\, so how can we distinguish between them? Looking only at its strength and frequency dependence may not be enough. In this talk\, I will explore another possibility: investigating the small variations in the gravitational-wave signal across the sky. These anisotropies may help us identify its origins and become a powerful new probe of inflation. I will then discuss how combining the gravitational-wave sky with the cosmic microwave background can help us search for primordial signals that might otherwise remain hidden.

SUMMARY:Old Journal Club by Michelangelo Tartaglia: "Quantized Hall conductivity in two-dimensions"
DESCRIPTION:Title: “Quantized Hall conductivity in two-dimensions” \nSpeaker: Michelangelo Tartaglia \nVenue & Time: Blue Room / 17:00 \nAbstract: It is shown that the quantization of the Hall conductivity of two-dimensional metals which has been observed recently by Klitzing\, Dorda\, and Pepper and by Tsui and Gossard is a consequence of gauge invariance and the existence of a mobility gap. Edge effects are shown to have no influence on the accuracy of quantization. An estimate of the error based on thermal activation of carriers to the mobility edge is suggested.\n \nPodeis encontrar toda la info en: https://inspirehep.net/literature/175567

SUMMARY:HoloClub: "Inside an AdS Black Hole: BKL Dynamics and Trans-IR Flows" by Ayan Kumar Patra
DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘Inside an AdS Black Hole: BKL Dynamics and Trans-IR Flows’ \nSpeaker: Ayan Kumar Patra \nVenue & Time: Red Room / 11:30 \nAbstract: The interiors of asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) black holes provide a setting for extending holographic renormalisation group (RG) flows into a “trans-IR” regime behind the horizon. In this talk\, I will discuss how these flows encode chaotic Belinski–Khalatnikov–Lifshitz (BKL) dynamics near a spacelike singularity and how this behaviour is reflected in a holographic probe. The oscillatory approach to the singularity consists of successive Kasner epochs\, with brief transitions described as collisions with effective potential walls in a Hamiltonian billiard. I will first show how BKL dynamics arise in a class of higher-dimensional AdS black holes. I will then introduce the thermal a-function as a holographic diagnostic\, interpreted as a measure of effective degrees of freedom along the flow. This function captures the sequence of Kasner epochs and eras while decreasing towards zero as the singularity is approached. Finally\, I will discuss the interpretation of this limit as a trans-IR fixed point and outline possible connections between quasinormal modes\, BKL dynamics\, and trans-IR flows.

SUMMARY:Seminar by Claudia Frugiuele (INFN\, Milan): "Is the large uncertainty of deltaCP fundamentally encoded in the neutrino quantum state?"
DESCRIPTION:Title: “Is the large uncertainty of deltaCP fundamentally encoded in the neutrino quantum state?” \nSpeaker: Seminar Claudia Frugiuele (INFN\, Milan) \nVenue & Time: Red Room / 15:00 \nAbstract: Quantum estimation theory provides a framework to quantify the ultimate precision limits for parameter estimation in physical systems. I will introduce its basic concepts and apply them to neutrino oscillations\, focusing on the estimation of the PMNS parameters. \nA central puzzle is why the CP\, violating phase δCP remains significantly less constrained than the other mixing parameters. Using quantum estimation tools\, I will  show that this limitation is not due to a lack of information encoded in the neutrino quantum state. Instead\, it arises from the suboptimal nature of standard flavor measurements\, particularly near the first oscillation peak. \nI will then compare the achievable precision with that of other mixing parameters\, for which current measurements are already close to optimal. \nI will conclude with the case of astrophysical neutrinos\, where the same tools quantify how much information on the PMNS parameters and on the source composition is lost to phase averaging and to flavor-only measurements.

SUMMARY:Old Journal Club by Michelangelo Tartaglia: “Ordering\, metastability and phase transitions in two-dimensional systems (J M Kosterlitz and D J Thouless)”
DESCRIPTION:Title: “Ordering\, metastability and phase transitions in two-dimensional systems (J M Kosterlitz and D J Thouless)” \nSpeaker: Alfred Benedito \nVenue & Time: Blue Room / 17:00 \nAbstract: A new definition of order called topological order is proposed for two-dimensional systems in which no long-range order of the conventional type exists. The possibility of a phase transition characterized by a change in the response of the system to an external perturbation is discussed in the context of a mean field type of approximation. The critical behaviour found in this model displays very weak singularities. The application of these ideas to the xy model of magnetism\, the solid-liquid transition\, and the neutral superfluid are discussed. This type of phase transition cannot occur in a superconductor nor in a Heisenberg ferromagnet. for reasons that are given.

SUMMARY:SPS Journal Club: "On the branes behind scale-separated AdS3 flux vacua"
DESCRIPTION:Strings\, Pheno and the Swampland (SPS) Journal Club. Every Thursday at 12:00 in the Red Room. \nTitle: “On the branes behind scale-separated AdS3 flux vacua” \nVenue & Time: Red Room / 12:00 \nSpeaker: Giuseppe Sudano \nAbstract: Identifying brane configurations whose near-horizon region reproduces scale-separated AdS vacua is an important step towards gaining insights into their putative conformal duals. This talk investigates the brane origin of supersymmetric and scale-separated AdS3 flux vacua arising in a class of type IIB orientifold reductions with G2-structure. Two approaches are used to this end. The flux backtracking procedure allows one to understand the branes underlying the fluxes that are not restricted by any tadpole cancellation condition and are responsible for scale separation. Furthermore\, a codimension-one D1–D5–KK5 intersection can be constructed\, which is asymptotically Minkowski and whose near-horizon region gives rise to the scale-separated AdS3 vacua. This second technique also provides a brane interpretation for the fluxes that are constrained by tadpole conditions.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Aneesh Manohar \nTitle: Precision Tests of the Standard Model Using Effective Field Theories \nVenue & Time: Sala Polivalente\, Plaza Mayor (UAM) / 15:00 \nAbstract: Precision tests of the Standard Model rely on comparing accurate and model-independent theoretical predictions with experimental measurements. Effective field theory methods are widely used to make reliable predictions of Standard Model quantities\, as well as to systematically parameterize contributions from unknown new physics effects. I will summarize the current status of the Standard Model\, and indications for new physics. \nZoom link: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81981785293?pwd=OvqONqbr8WGMCC8cTrITVNwT0KkByA.1__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!USh6yo9_bnzehL7RgZb4BtX-s230V5pImAWnUsaA5sUm_Pu_Ki3DF5DoD8RlH0egxEmB4IEqnqT3ee7XDKKONCyO-dCGTZp5lymh0Dw$ \nID de reunión: 819 8178 5293 \nCódigo de acceso: 894555

SUMMARY:IFT and DFT's Two Minutes Meeting 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for Theoretical Physics (IFT) and the Department of Theoretical Physics (DFT) are delighted to invite you to this year’s Two Minutes Meeting\, which will take place on Thursday\, November 19\, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM\, in the Sala Azul at IFT.\n\nThe idea is simple: get to know the people we work with\, discover what everyone does\, exchange ideas\, and create opportunities for new collaborations. We warmly encourage everyone at IFT and DFT to participate\, from students and early-career researchers to senior scientists\, as well as administrative and support staff. We are all part of the same community! Each participant will have around two minutes to introduce themselves\, share a little about their work\, and help us put faces to names. Great science often starts with a simple conversation. We’ll wrap up the meeting with coffee at 1:00 PM in the IFT cafeteria\, where we can keep the conversations going. \nWe hope to see you all there!

SUMMARY:Seminar by Carlos Garcia Garcia (CIEMAT): “The status of single scalar field dark energy”
DESCRIPTION:Title: The status of single scalar field dark energy \nSpeaker: Carlos Garcia Garcia (CIEMAT) \nVenue & Time: Red Room / 15:00 \nAbstract: We are entering an exciting era in cosmology\, with tantalizing hints of dynamical dark energy. While current data are not yet sufficient to determine its nature\, they may already provide clues about its microphysical origin. Assuming the latest observations (DESI BAO + SNe Ia + CMB) are correct\, I will show that the evidence for dynamical dark energy remains mild and depends on prior choices. Furthermore\, assuming dark energy arises from a single scalar field\, I will show that current data mildly favor models with a negative squared mass and either a non-minimal coupling to gravity or a non-standard kinetic term. These scenarios lead to distinct signatures in the ISW effect\, the growth of cosmic structure\, and Solar System tests of gravity. I will discuss why current probes are not yet sufficient to distinguish between them and the prospects for uncovering the microphysical nature of dark energy with upcoming observations.

SUMMARY:Special Seminar by Mario de Marco (ULB): Bethe Ansatz equations\, Calogero-Moser systems and elliptic functions
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mario de Marco (ULB) \nVenue & Time: Red Room / 12:00 \nTitle: Bethe Ansatz equations\, Calogero-Moser systems and elliptic functions \nAbstract:The superconformal indeces of 4d SCFTs count their BPS states and\, holographically\, the microstates of the dual black holes. A possible approach to the exact computation of the index requires solving the so-called Bethe Ansatz equations (BAE). In this talk\, I will introduce a rewriting of the BAE in terms of elliptic functions\, focusing on the case with 16 supercharges. Such a rewriting permits 1) to quantitatively capture the conjectural relation of BAE with the Calogero-Moser integrable system (and the related continuous solutions) and 2) to rephrase the BAE in terms of configurations of lines on a plane intersecting an elliptic curve.\nBased on WIP with M. Graffeo and A. Zanetti

SUMMARY:Seminar by Cypris Plantier (LPSC\, Grenoble): “Various aspects of higher-form fields: from gauge-group topology to dark matter”
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Cypris Plantier (LPSC\, Grenoble) \nVenue & Time: Red Room / 15:00 \nTitle: Various aspects of higher-form fields: from gauge-group topology to dark matter \nAbstract: Quantum field theory allows for the existence of antisymmetric tensorial gauge fields possessing several Lorentz indices. These so-called higher-form fields constitute intriguing\, ambiguous objects sitting at the interface between local dynamics and global topology: they naturally couple to extended operators\, encode topological structures\, and play a central role in characterizing the vacuum structure of non-abelian gauge theories. At the same time\, those are shown to propagate physical scalar and vectorial degrees of freedom\, making higher-form fields natural and promising dark matter candidates.\nThis seminar will present a historical and conceptual overview of higher-form fields\, focusing on their application to dark matter physics. Particular emphasis will be placed on the recent developments regarding the interplay between duality and dark matter portals within effective field theory frameworks.
