Speaker: George Tringas Institution: Lehigh U. Location&Place: Red Room Abstract: After the usual paper discussion, our guest George Tringas (Lehigh U.) will give a talk on Dualities and scale-separated AdS3 vacua
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Quantum Information Journal Club Speaker: Javier Ignacio Lorca Espiro (Universidad de la Frontera, Chile) Venue&Time: Grey Room 3 / 11:30 AM Abstract: Higher dimensional abelian quantum double models have been shown to be well defined in any finite dimension and exhibit the characteristic behavior of SPT phases models. In this talk, we will introduce the […]
Speaker: Bo Wang from Zhejiang U. Inst. Mod. Phys. Venue&Time: Red Room / 3:00 PM Abstract: I will report recent progress on AdS Virasoro-Shapiro and Veneziano amplitudes for half-BPS operators with arbitrary Kaluza-Klein modes. The key ingredient is a bootstrap built directly in the world-sheet representation, together with a novel formalism. This approach yields a […]
SPS Journal Club Speaker: Bruno De Luca Venue&Time: Red Room / 12:00 Abstract: The problem of constructing de Sitter vacua in quantum theories of gravity is constrained by no-go theorems and made computationally challenging by the absence of supersymmetry. A popular approach to make it more tractableis to start from a supersymmetric compactification, such as […]
Speaker: Go Ogiya from Zhejiang University Venue&Time: Red Room / 3:00 PM Abstract: The origin of the turbulent motion of the intracluster medium (ICM) has been a longstanding open question. Stirring by substructures (member galaxies and dark matter subhaloes) orbiting within a galaxy cluster is a possible mechanism to generate and maintain the ICM turbulence. […]
Alexander Bernal (IFT) PhD dissertation. Supervisor: Alberto Casas & Jesús Moreno Venue&Time: ¨Blue Room / 10:00 AM Abstract: This thesis explores the intersection of Quantum Information Theory (QIT) and High-Energy Physics. We demonstrate the presence of entanglement and Bell nonlocality in vector boson systems resulting from scalar and pseudoscalar particle decays, focusing on the H→ZZ process […]
