Quantum Information Journal Club: Continuous and field tensor network states
Journal clubsSpeaker: Albert Gasull, Leiden University Venue & Time: Grey Room 3 / 11:30 Title: 'Continuous and field tensor network states' Abstract: Tensor network methods have provided us with a powerful set of tools with which to study strongly interacting many-body systems on the lattice. Understanding the limitations of this ansatz is paramount for the success […]

Seminar: ‘Co-Scaling and Alignment of Electric and Magnetic States’
IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainScientific activitiesSpeaker: Tom Rudelius (Durham U., Dept. of Math.) Title: Co-Scaling and Alignment of Electric and Magnetic States Venue & Time: Red Room / 11:30 Abstract: Towers of electrically and magnetically charged states in quantum gravity often exhibit two important properties. First, the ratio of the mass (or tension) of electrically charged states to magnetically charged […]

Seminar by Yushi Mura (KEK)
IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainScientific activitiesTitle: 'UV completion of extended Higgs models via the confinement of SU(2) gauge' Speaker: Yushi Mura (KEK) Venue & Time: Red Room / 15:00 Abstract: The extended Higgs sectors are often introduced to explain phenomena beyond the standard model. On the other hand, the existence of multiple scalar fields may cause the Landau pole below […]

Old Journal Club: ‘Threshold production of heavy top quarks: QCD and the Higgs boson’
Blue Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) - C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainJournal clubsSergio Rodríguez (IFT) will present "Threshold production of heavy top quarks: QCD and the Higgs boson" by Matthew J. Strassler and Michael E. Peskin. Abstract: We calculate the threshold cross section for 𝑒+𝑒−→tt¯ to leading-logarithmic order in QCD, using a nonrelativistic approximation suggested by Fadin and Khoze. We study the mass range 100≤𝑚𝑡≤250 GeV, and show […]

Seminar: ‘The Muon Magnetic Moment Mystery: a 20-year puzzle in high-energy physics’
IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainScientific activitiesSpeaker: Zoltan Fodor (Penn State U.) Venue & Time: Red Room / 15:00 Title: The Muon Magnetic Moment Mystery: a 20-year puzzle in high-energy physics Abstract: In the last two decades or so there have been stronger and stronger disagreements between direct measurements of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon and the standard-model prediction. Such a […]

Holo Club: ‘Holographic fluids with higher-form symmetries’
Gray Room 3 Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainJournal clubsTitle: Holographic fluids with higher-form symmetries Speaker: André Oliveira (Heriot-Watt University) Venue & Time: Grey Room 3 / 11:30 Abstract: Higher-form symmetries are ubiquitous in physics. In this talk, I focus on the case where they are continuous and encode the conservation of extended objects. Applications include elasticity, superfluidity and phases of electromagnetism. Using holography, […]
