  • Aspects of symmetries throughout the String Theory Moduli Space

    IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, Spain
    PhD Dissertation_es

    Speaker: Roberta Angius Institution: IFT UAM/CSIC Location&Place: Red Room Abstract: This thesis aims to explore various corners of the string theory moduli spaces using symmetries as a guiding principle to uncover properties of the corresponding theories and their implications for spacetime dynamics.  Within the Swampland Program, the absence of global symmetries in consistent quantum gravity […]

  • Dynamical Cobordism in String Theory and Holography

    IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, Spain
    PhD Dissertation_es

    Speaker:  Jesús Huertas Castellanos Institution: IFT UAM/CSIC Location&Place: Red Room Abstract: This thesis investigates the intricate relationship between topology, gravity, and quantum field theory within String Theory, centering on the Cobordism Conjecture, which asserts that any consistent quantum gravity theory must allow spacetime boundaries. It begins by introducing Dynamical Cobordism through models that realize end-of-the-world […]

  • Aspects of inflation beyond the single-field, slow-roll regime

    IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, Spain
    PhD Dissertation_es

    Speaker: Alejandro Pérez Rodríguez Location&Place: Red Room Abstract: In this thesis, we explore two departures from the single field, slow-roll paradigm of inflation. The first part is dedicated to warm inflation. We revisit the theory of linear perturbations in this framework, develop computational techniques for the calculation of the primordial power spectrum and apply them to […]

  • Measuring Stochastic Gravitational Wave Backgrounds with Pulsar Timing Arrays

    IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, Spain
    Seminars_es

    Speaker: Mauro Pieroni Institution: IEM-CSIC Location&Place: Red Room Abstract: My talk focuses on using Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) data to measure Gravitational Waves (GWs). In particular, I will focus on Stochastic GW Background (SGWB) measurements. After a general introduction to the topic, I will discuss a new (simplified) approach to constrain SGWBs with PTA data. […]

  • Vacuum stability for gravity compactifications

    IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, Spain
    Seminars_es

    Speaker: Alessandro Tomasiello (Milano Bicocca) Venue&Time: 15:00 / Red Room Abstract: Compactifying from higher dimensions typically produces many different vacuum solutions; this leads to multiple possible decay channels, mediated by the nucleation of bubbles. In string theory, the latter can be expanding D-branes. Supersymmetry provides a stabilization mechanism; I will describe how to replicate it […]

  • God plays dice with the world. The story of quantum mechanics

    Blue Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) - C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, Spain
    Seminars_es

    What is matter? A question that has fascinated—and at times tormented—some of the brightest minds of the twentieth century. Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Erwin Schrödinger, Werner Heisenberg, Max Born, Wolfgang Pauli, and Paul Dirac all grappled with it, debating fiercely, colliding over equations and experiments, in their attempt to decipher the very essence of […]

  • PhD dissertation: Advancing Gravitational Wave Data Analysis and Exploring New Sources

    Blue Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) - C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, Spain
    PhD Dissertation_es

    Gonzalo Morrás PhD dissertation. Supervisor: Juan García-Bellido Venue&Time: Blue Room / 10:30 AM Abstract: Gravitational wave (GW) astronomy has opened a new window onto the Universe, allowing us to study compact objects and fundamental physics. This thesis develops new methods and models to improve the detection and interpretation of GW signals, with a focus on […]
