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 […]
Title: Symmetry TFTs for Continuous Spacetime Symmetries Speaker: Iñaki Garcia Etxebarria (Durham U.) Venue & Time: Red Room / 3:00 PM Abstract: I will discuss our recent proposal for the Symmetry Topological Field Theory (SymTFT) for global, continuous spacetime symmetries ( https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.07965 ). For a d-dimensional theory, it is given by a (d + 1)-dimensional […]

Title: The Quantum Agreement Theorem Speaker: María García (upm) Venue&Time: Gray Room 3 / 11:30 Abstract: We formulate and prove an Agreement Theorem for quantummechanics (QM), describing when two agents, represented by separate laboratories, can or cannot maintain differing probability estimates of a shared quantum property of interest. Building on the classical framework (Aumann, 1976), […]
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 […]
Strings, Pheno and the Swampland (SPS) Journal Club. Every Thursday at 12:00 in the Red Room. Title: Tensionless String Limits in AdS5/CFT4 and the Sharpened Distance Conjecture Speaker: Gabriel Fenati (IFT) Venue&Time: Red Room / 12:00 Abstract: Based on work in progress with M. Montero and I. Valenzuela. We extend the results of by showing […]
Samuel Rosende (IFT) will present "Infinite Heat Order in 3+1 Dimensions" Venue&Time: Gray Room 2 / 12:00 Abstract: We investigate whether spontaneous symmetry breaking can persist up to arbitrarily high temperature in ultraviolet-complete quantum field theories in four spacetime dimensions. We focus on completely asymptotically free models with gauge group SU(Nc1)×SU(Nc2) and two complex scalar […]
