Every Thursday at 12:00 in Grey Room 2. Marta Fuentes (IFT), will present "Powerful Yukawas". We introduce a class of models where the masses of the light Standard Model fermions are due to an Effective Field Theory operator that appears beyond dimension-4 in the power counting expansion, resulting in a `Powerful Yukawa'. The effective Yukawa […]
Strings, Pheno & The Swampland Journal Club | Every Thursday at 12:00 in the Red Room. Speaker: Salvatore Raucci (IFT) Title: 'M-theory on S^1 \vee S^1 as Type 0A' Abstract: We propose an exotic geometric M-theory dual for the weak coupling Type 0A string: compactification on a sub-Planckian S^1 \vee S^1 (two circles connected at […]
Title: 'Semi-classical aspects of black holes: recent progress and future directions' Speaker: Juan F. Pedraza (IFT) Venue & Time: Gray Room 3 / 11:30 Abstract: Semi-classical gravity provides a valuable framework for exploring quantum effects in black hole physics, particularly in regimes where a complete theory of quantum gravity remains out of reach. In this […]

Every Thursday at 12:00 in the Red Room.
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 […]

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 […]
