SPS Journal Club: ‘Self-gravitational Effects in the Black Hole-Tower Correspondence’
IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainJournal clubsStrings Pheno and the Swampland Journal Club: 'Self-gravitational Effects in the Black Hole-Tower Correspondence' Venue&Time: Red Room / 12:00 Speaker: Miquel Aparici (IFT) Abstract: It is well-known that in weak coupling and near decompactification limits, towers of light particles appear in the spectrum of gravitational theories. These towers can be postulated to correspond to minimal […]

Seminar: ‘Cosmological Magnetic Fields from Ultralight Dark Matter’
IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainScientific activitiesTitle: Cosmological Magnetic Fields from Ultralight Dark Matter Speaker: Robert Brandenberger (McGill) Venue&Time: Red Room / 15:00 Abstract: A coherently oscillating ultralight dark matter field which couples to electromagnetism in the same way as an axion induces a tachyonic instability which leads to the generation of cosmological magnetic fields immediately after the time of recombination.

Seminar: ‘How string theory computes quantum gravity amplitudes’
IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainScientific activitiesTitle: 'How string theory computes quantum gravity amplitudes' Speaker: Lorenz Eberhardt (U. Amsterdam) Venue&Time: Red Room / 15:00 Abstract: String theory provides a framework in which quantum gravitational scattering amplitudes are ultraviolet finite and computable in perturbation theory. These amplitudes are defined by integrating over the moduli space of Riemann surfaces, replacing the Feynman diagram […]
