Title: Toward Krylov-based holography in double-scaled SYK

Venue & Time: Gray Room 3 / 11:30

Abstract:

Building on the duality between Krylov complexity and geodesic length in Jackiw-Teitelboim and sine-dilaton gravity, we develop a precise holographic dictionary for quantities in the Krylov subspace of the double-scaled Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model (DSSYK). First, we demonstrate that the growth rate of Krylov state complexity corresponds to the wormhole velocity, and show that its expectation value in coherent states serves as a boundary diagnostic of firewall-like structures via bulk reconstruction. We also delineate an alternative bulk description in terms of the proper momentum of an infalling particle at early times, establishing a threefold duality between the Krylov complexity growth rate, wormhole velocity, and proper momentum, with clear regimes of validity. Beyond the first moments, we argue that higher-order Krylov complexities capture connected bulk contributions encoded by replica wormholes, while the logarithmic variant probes the replica saddle structure. Finally, within a third-quantized setting incorporating baby universes, we show that the Krylov entropy equals the von Neumann entropy of the parent-geometry density matrix obtained after tracing out baby universes, thereby quantifying information flow into the baby universe sector. Together, these results elevate Krylov-space observables to sharp probes of bulk dynamics and topology in ensemble-averaged 2D gravity.

Quantum Information Journal Club: 'Quantum Algorithms Based on Cooling'
2026-02-18 11:30 - 12:30 | Grey Room 2, Instituto de Física Teórica, Madrid, Madrid, 28037, Spain
Date: Wednesday, February 18
Aula Gris 2 / 11:30
Speaker: Daniel Molpeceres (TU Munich)
Título: Quantum Algorithms Based on Cooling
Abstract: The purpose of this work is to study different methods for nature-inspired algorithmic cooling of physical systems, which rely on energy transfer between the system and a cool bath. These algorithms are suitable for preparation of QMB ground states, and are therefore an alternative to other well-known procedures such as variational or adiabatic algorithm, which have their own limitations. The aim of the paper is to develop this theory, and try to find in what regimes it works best, such that it can be used as an alternative or in collaboration with the previous methods. We will focus on a free-fermion model with hoppings in a 1D lattice and a certain distribution of auxiliary systems per site, try to find regimes in which the system reaches the ground state, and then extrapolate what we learn from this model into a more general noisy setting. The main questions to address are how the performance changes with the noise that may appear in an experimental setting, as well as a comparison with other methods such as adiabatic algorithm or QAOA.

PhD dissertation: 'On String Phenomenology From a Swampland Perspective'
2026-02-19 11:00 - 12:00
Author: Gonzalo F. Casas

Title: On String Phenomenology From a Swampland Perspective.

Venue & Time: Blue Room / 11:00

Abstract: This thesis investigates the deep interplay between particle physics, cosmology, and quantum gravity within the framework of string phenomenology. Focusing on Type IIA Calabi–Yau orientifolds with intersecting D6-branes, we show that the suppression of neutrino masses at infinite-distance limits necessarily entails the emergence of light towers of states. This result establishes a direct link between particle-scale physics and the geometry of extra dimensions, while also suggesting potentially testable phenomenological signatures. The thesis further connects inflationary dynamics to the quantum-gravity cutoff and examines how supersymmetry breaking in no-scale vacua can give rise to Minkowski backgrounds, offering a novel perspective on moduli stabilization.

Seminar: 'Asymmetric Dark Matter induced by Baryogenesis'
2026-02-23 15:00 - 16:00 | IFT Seminar Room/Red Room, Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, 28049,, Spain
Title: ‘Asymmetric Dark Matter induced by Baryogenesis’
Speaker: Miguel Escudero (CERN)
Venue&Time: Red Room / 15:00
Abstract: We live in a Universe where structures are made out of baryons but not of antibaryons. Could the dark matter be made of particles and not antiparticles? This is an old question and many asymmetric dark matter scenarios have been proposed to date. Among them, the models where a dark matter asymmetry is induced from the baryon/lepton asymmetries are particularly motivated. In this seminar, I will highlight the motivations for these types of frameworks but also their challenges. I will then present a new, minimal, and predictive scenario that we developed in [2511.10731]. In this model, a dark matter asymmetry is slowly generated from the Standard Model Higgs doublet asymmetry. The scenario features two dark matter states which can lead to signals in the next generation of dark matter experiments, and we predict a new inert Higgs doublet with mass < 580 GeV which could be produced and observed at the LHC and future colliders.

Seminar: Primordial black holes from Q-balls
2026-02-24 15:00 - 16:00 | IFT Seminar Room/Red Room, Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, 28049,, Spain
Speaker: Shunsuke Neda (ICRR, Univ. of Tokyo)
Venue & Time: Red Room / 15:00
Title: Primordial black holes from Q-balls
Abstract:
We discuss primordial black holes (PBHs) originating from Q-balls, which are non-topological solitons arising in complex scalar field theories with a global U(1) symmetry. Depending on the cosmic expansion history, Q-balls can source PBH formation in both early matter-dominated (eMD) and radiation-dominated (RD) universes, leading to distinct phenomenological consequences.
In the eMD scenario, PBHs produced from Q-balls can account for the observed dark matter abundance, and we summarize the resulting cosmological constraints. In contrast, some scenarios of PBHs formed in a radiation-dominated universe exhibit strong PBH clustering. When motivated as seeds of supermassive black holes, their abundance and spatial distribution are observationally constrained by isocurvature perturbations. For stellar-mass PBHs relevant to LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA, we compute PBH merger rates in the presence of initial PBH clustering using updated methodologies.
This seminar illustrates how PBHs from Q-balls link particle physics models to cosmological, astrophysical, and gravitational-wave observations across multiple mass scales.

Quantum Information Journal Club: 'Generalizing the framework of translationally invariant MPS'
2026-02-25 11:30 - 12:30 | IFT Seminar Room/Red Room, Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, 28049,, Spain
Speaker: Marta Florido Llinás (MPQ)
Title: ‘Generalizing the framework of translationally invariant MPS’
Abstract: In this talk I will present our recent work on developing a canonical form for uniform matrix product states (MPS) with a boundary matrix (https://www.arxiv.org/abs/2512.11968). Starting from the standard canonical description of uniform MPS with periodic boundary conditions, I will explain how to derive a generalized canonical form for MPS with boundaries, by extending the structural analysis of matrix sets to incorporate off-diagonal blocks, and by introducing some notions inspired by formal language theory.

GRASS Seminar: 'Gravitational Duality at the Lightring, QNM isospectrality, and Ringdown Nonlinearities from Penrose Limits'
2026-02-26 11:00 - 12:00 | IFT Seminar Room/Red Room, Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, 28049,, Spain
Gravity, Supergravity and Superstrings (GRASS) Seminar
Speaker: David Pereñiguez (Johns Hopkins U.)
Title: ‘Gravitational Duality at the Lightring, QNM isospectrality, and Ringdown Nonlinearities from Penrose Limits’
Abstract: At high frequencies, the physics near a black hole’s lightring can be captured by Penrose-limit plane waves adapted to the photon sphere. In this talk, I will solve exactly the equations for gravitational perturbations in this limit using Penrose’s 2-spinor formalism, and I will show that the resulting solutions correspond to quasinormal modes (QNMs) in the eikonal regime. I will then prove that gravitational electric–magnetic duality holds on-shell for perturbations at the lightring. This symmetry has long been understood to hold on-shell only for perturbations about flat spacetime. The lightring therefore provides a distinct setting in which it reemerges. In addition, QNM isospectrality follows as an immediate consequence. I will next extend the analysis to nonlinear gravitational fluctuations, where the duality is broken, and compute the excitation of quadratic QNMs, which are particularly relevant given recent prospects for their detection. I will conclude by discussing further directions in which Penrose limits can be used to sharpen our understanding of lightring physics.

SPS Journal Club: 'Anomaly-induced vanishing of brane partition functions'
2026-02-26 12:00 - 13:00 | IFT Seminar Room/Red Room, Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, 28049,, Spain
Strings, Pheno and the Swampland Journal Club (SPS)
Speaker: Michelangelo Tartaglia (IFT)
Title: ‘Anomaly-induced vanishing of brane partition functions’
Abstract: In the presence of ‘t Hooft anomalies, backgrounds for the symmetries of a quantum field theory can lead to non-conservation of Noether currents, or more generally, to the presence of charged insertions in the path integral. When there is a net background charge, the partition function evaluated on closed manifolds will vanish. For anomalous symmetries, this statement can also be understood as the anomaly theory giving rise to a non-trivial anomalous phase for the partition function even for “rigid” transformations which leave all background fields unchanged. We use the generalisation of this second viewpoint to the setting of anomalous higher-form symmetries in order to show vanishing of the partition function for a number of examples, both with and without a Lagrangian description. In particular, we show how to derive from these considerations the analogue of the Freed-Witten anomaly cancellation condition for the M5-brane, and also that for the D3-brane in S-fold backgrounds.

Venue&Time: Red Room / 15:00

Also, our project called ALPACA, which aims systematic sub-PeV gamma-ray observations in the southern sky for the first time in the world, is detailedly presented.

Old Journal Club: 'Generalized Global Symmetries'
2026-02-26 17:00 - 18:00 | Blue Room, Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) - C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, 28049,, Spain
Miquel Aparici Domingo (IFT) will present Generalized Global Symmetries by Davide Gaiotto, Anton Kapustin, Nathan Seiberg, Brian Willett, JHEP 02 (2015) 172

Abstract:
A q-form global symmetry is a global symmetry for which the charged operators are of space-time dimension q, e.g. Wilson lines, surface defects, etc., and the charged excitations have q spatial dimensions, e.g. strings, membranes, etc. Many of the properties of ordinary global symmetries (q = 0) apply here. They lead to Ward identities and hence to selection rules on amplitudes. Such global symmetries can be coupled to classical background fields and they can be gauged by summing over these classical fields. These generalized global symmetries can be spontaneously broken (either completely or to a sub-group). They can also have ’t Hooft anomalies, which prevent us from gauging them, but lead to ’t Hooft anomaly matching conditions. Such anomalies can also lead to anomaly inflow on various defects and exotic Symmetry Protected Topological phases. Our analysis of these symmetries gives a new unified perspective of many known phenomena and uncovers new results.

Seminar: 'The tensions of LCDM: An update of observations and theoretical implications'
2026-03-02 15:00 - 16:00 | IFT Seminar Room/Red Room, Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, 28049,, Spain
Title: ‘The tensions of LCDM: An update of observations and theoretical implications’
Speaker: Leandros Perivolaropoulos (Ioannina)
Venue&Time: Red Room / 15:00
Abstract: The standard LCDM cosmological model, despite its success in describing the large-scale structure of the Universe, is currently challenged by statistically significant discrepancies between early and late-universe observations. In this talk, I provide a comprehensive update on observational status and theoretical implications of three major tensions: the Hubble (H0) constant discrepancy, the DESI DR2 Phantom-Crossing Anomaly, and the S8 tension. First, I re-examine the H0 tension by classifying 88 Sound-Horizon-Free measurements. This analysis reveals that the discrepancy is not merely an “Early vs. Late” issue but is fundamentally driven by a clash between the Distance Ladder and the majority of other probes (reaching a significance of ~ 6.5sigma). I will further discuss why simple late-time modifications to the expansion history fail to solve this tension due to constraints from unanchored Type Ia Supernovae (Pantheon+), effectively establishing a “no-go” theorem for such solutions.
Second, I address the implications of the recent DESI DR2 data, which favors a dynamical dark energy equation of state crossing the phantom divide (w(z) < -1). While this behavior is forbidden in simple quintessence models within General Relativity, I demonstrate how it can be naturally accommodated in reconstructed Scalar-Tensor theories. By allowing for an evolving effective gravitational constant (G_eff), these models can fit the phantom crossing while simultaneously alleviating the Hubble tension. Finally, I review the current landscape of the S8 tension. I discuss the shift toward a “Combined CMB” baseline (Planck + ACT + SPT) which reduces uncertainties, and analyze the dichotomy currently present in weak lensing surveys (e.g., DES Year 6 vs. KiDS Legacy). I conclude by summarizing which theoretical extensions of LCDM remain viable in the face of these combined precision constraints. (edited)

II Jornadas sobre Arte Sonoro "Rebecca Collins"
2026-03-03 10:00 - 19:00
El 26 de junio de 2024 falleció Rebecca Louise Collins (1982-2024), artista sonora, investigadora de la escucha y comisaria de proyectos relacionados con la música experimental, cuya labor intelectual y creativa ha dejado una huella profunda e imborrable en el ámbito del arte sonoro contemporáneo. Tras la celebración de las primeras jornadas en noviembre de 2024 con el título “Escuchar / Pensar / Sentir”, organizadas conjuntamente por el Instituto de Historia (CSIC) y el Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT-CSIC/UAM), se convocan las II Jornadas de arte sonoro “Rebecca Collins”, que se celebrarán los días 3 y 4 de marzo en distintos espacios de Madrid.
Estas II Jornadas de arte sonoro “Rebecca Collins” continúan el diálogo interdisciplinar inaugurado en la primera edición, manteniendo como premisa fundamental la conexión entre el ámbito de las ciencias experimentales y el de la creación sonora. La colaboración entre el Instituto de Historia del CSIC y el Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT-CSIC/UAM) no es meramente institucional, sino que responde a una convicción profunda: que las prácticas artísticas sonoras y la investigación científica comparten metodologías comunes cuando abordan fenómenos como la incertidumbre, la temporalidad, la detección y la escucha como formas de conocimiento.
En esta ocasión, las jornadas se centrarán específicamente en la noción de tiempo como eje vertebrador, contemplando este concepto desde múltiples perspectivas: el tiempo como experiencia vivida, como soporte del discurso sonoro, como dimensión física, como construcción cultural, como archivo de memoria y como desafío para la documentación y conservación de prácticas artísticas, entre otras posibles aproximaciones.
En el contexto de estas jornadas, se abren dos convocatorias, orientadas a la presentación de trabajos artísticos y teóricos:

Convocatoria Artística: Obras de arte sonoro y música experimental
Convocatoria Investigaciones: Propuestas para un taller de Investigación

ENTRADAS:
La asistencia a las jornadas es gratuita, pero os pedimos que os registréis en los enlaces siguientes (uno para cada día) para recibir información del evento y facilitarnos la organización.

Title: ‘Brick wall Normal Modes and Emerging Thermality’
Venue & Time: Gray Room 1 / 11:00
Abstract:
arXiv:2401.01417
The ’t Hooft brick wall model provides one of the earliest microscopic derivations of the black-hole area law within the probe approximation of quantum field theory in curved spacetime. In this talk, I will revisit the original construction and present a modern perspective based on the spectral properties of the probe fields. After briefly reviewing how the area-proportional entropy arises in ’t Hooft’s setup, I will show that its origin can be understood in terms of the structure of the normal-mode spectrum. In particular, a quasi-degenerate growth of states along a specific quantum-number direction leads directly to the area scaling of the entropy.This viewpoint not only clarifies the mechanism behind the entropy but also reveals a number of non-trivial features of the spectrum, including signatures commonly associated with quantum chaos. I will discuss these features. Finally, I will show that, when the brick wall is placed parametrically close to the horizon, the two-point function of the probe field becomes indistinguishable from a thermal correlator, providing a precise sense in which thermality emerges in this framework.
