Title: 'EFTs for BSM: Counting, Ambiguities, and Application' Speaker: Shakeel Ur Rahaman (IPPP Durham). Venue&Time: Red Room / 15:00 Abstract: The two principal frameworks for modeling the Beyond Standard Model physics as an Effective Field Theory (EFT) are the Standard Model EFT (SMEFT) and the Higgs Effective Field Theory (HEFT). SMEFT is constructed in the […]
Title: Holographic transport in anisotropic systems Speaker: Claire Moran (Utrecht University) Venue&Time: Red Room / 11:30 Abstract: Understanding transport in strongly coupled quantum systems remains a central challenge across high-energy physics, condensed matter, and quantum many-body theory. Of particular interest is systems exhibiting anisotropy, where the anisotropy leads to a much richer transport structure, with […]
Every Tuesday at 2:00 PM in the discussion room on the 5th floor. Join the IFT cosmology/gravity journal club at benty-fields.com to vote for papers and volunteer to present them
Title: 'Accessible quantum correlations under complexity constraints' Speaker: Álvaro Yangüez (Sorbonne Université Paris) Venue&Time: Gray Room 3 / 14:00 Abstract: Quantum systems may contain underlying correlations which are inaccessible to computationally bounded observers. We capture this distinction through a framework that analyses bipartite states only using efficiently implementable quantum channels. This leads to a complexity-constrained […]
Daniel Domenech Moya (IFT) will present "Unitarity limits on triple gauge boson production". Venue & Time: Gray Room 2 / 12:00 Abstract: We derive the unitarity constraints on anomalous quartic gauge couplings originating from the f ¯f ′ → V V ′V ′′ channel with V (′)(′′) = γ, Z, W ±, and H. We […]
Every Thursday at 12:00 in the Red Room. Titulo: The Art of Branching: Cobordism Junctions of 10d String Theories Speaker: Edoardo Anastasi (IFT) Abstract: We describe the explicit construction of configurations of several 10d string theories joining at a 9d junction, providing a dynamical realization of cobordisms between multiple 10d string theories, predicted by the […]

Venue&Time: Red Room / 11:30 / 15:00 PROGRAM: --------------------- 11:00 Welcome coffee --------------------- 11:30h First Talk Speaker: Jelle Hartong (Edinburgh U.) Title: The Geometry of Gravitational Radiation Abstract: This talk concerns asymptotically flat vacuum solutions of GR in 4 spacetime dimensions. The asymptotics of such metrics is quite intricate and depends on how we […]
