SUMMARY:Seminar by Eduardo Peinado (Mexico U.): "Three jobs for a U(1): dark matter stability\, light portals\, and neutrino and Higgs masses"
DESCRIPTION:Title: “Three jobs for a U(1): dark matter stability\, light portals\, and neutrino and Higgs masses” \nSpeaker: Eduardo Peinado (Mexico U.) \nVenue & Time: Red Room / 15:00 \nAbstract: Adding a U(1) gauge symmetry is a simple yet surprisingly versatile extension of the Standard Model. In this talk\, I will discuss three roles it can play: stabilizing a dark matter candidate while generating neutrino masses\, opening light portals to new physics that can be probed by low-energy experiments and IceCube\, and\, through the heavy neutrinos of a low-scale seesaw\, setting an upper bound on the Higgs mass.

SUMMARY:Seminar by Mario Reig (CERN): "Testing the Heterotic String and F-theory GUTs with Axions"
DESCRIPTION:Title: Testing the Heterotic String and F-theory GUTs with Axions \nSpeaker: Mario Reig (CERN) \nVenue & Time: Red Room / 15:00 \nAbstract: The topological nature of axion couplings to gauge bosons offers unique opportunities to obtain information about the UV limit of the SM. I will discuss why the discovery of an axion-like particle above the QCD line would rule out Grand Unified Theories\, both in 4 dimensions and in higher-dimensions\, and the perturbative Heterotic String. Based on 2206.07053\, 2410.03820\, 2509.08042\, and 2606.09982.

SUMMARY:Quantum Info JC by  Jakub Zakrzewski from the Jagiellonian University in Krakow: "Many-body localization and magic resources"
DESCRIPTION:Title: “Many-body localization and magic resources” \nSpeaker: Jakub Zakrzewski from the Jagiellonian University in Krakow \nVenue & Time: Gray Room / 11:30 \nAbstract: I will provide an overview of many-body localization discussing the open problems with the thermodynamic limit in standard disordered models\, the so-called quantum-sun model as well as the positional disorder as realized\, e.g.\, in Rydberg arrays. Later I shall consider the behavior of nonstabilizerness and fermionic magic resources in the MBL-regime.

SUMMARY:SPS Journal Club: “Applications of categorical symmetries in two dimensions”
DESCRIPTION:Strings\, Pheno and the Swampland (SPS) Journal Club. Every Thursday at 12:00 in the Red Room. \nTitle: “Applications of categorical symmetries in two dimensions” \nVenue & Time: Red Room / 12:00 \n Speaker: \nAbstract: The goal of this talk is to give a quick overview of some of my recent work during the last years. I will begin with a lightning review of what generalised symmetries are and why it might be sensible\nto relax the group multiplication structure. I will then discuss two applications: \n1) In Non Linear Sigma Models\, the presence of such symmetries protects some of the coupling constants from receiving any quantum corrections. From a target space point of view\, this means some of the parameters of the background cannot receive \alpha’ corrections. \n2) In systems of free chiral fermions\, they give rise to the phenomenon of ‘twisted scattering’ (an incoming local operator that gets scattered into a point operator attached to a topological line)\, which help explain some long standing puzzles of the fermion-monopole scattering problem.

SUMMARY:Seminar by E. Dimastrogiovanni: "Probing the Early Universe with Gravitational Wave Anisotropies"
DESCRIPTION:Title: “Probing the Early Universe with Gravitational Wave Anisotropies” \nSpeaker: E. Dimastrogiovanni (Groningen) \nVenue & Time: Red Room / 15:00 \nAbstract: Gravitational-wave astronomy is opening a new window onto the Universe. Beyond the signals from individual events\, such as merging black holes\, we are beginning to uncover a background of gravitational waves that may carry traces of the very early Universe. Many different processes can contribute to this background\, so how can we distinguish between them? Looking only at its strength and frequency dependence may not be enough. In this talk\, I will explore another possibility: investigating the small variations in the gravitational-wave signal across the sky. These anisotropies may help us identify its origins and become a powerful new probe of inflation. I will then discuss how combining the gravitational-wave sky with the cosmic microwave background can help us search for primordial signals that might otherwise remain hidden.

SUMMARY:Old Journal Club by Michelangelo Tartaglia: "Quantized Hall conductivity in two-dimensions"
DESCRIPTION:Title: “Quantized Hall conductivity in two-dimensions” \nSpeaker: Michelangelo Tartaglia \nVenue & Time: Blue Room / 17:00 \nAbstract: It is shown that the quantization of the Hall conductivity of two-dimensional metals which has been observed recently by Klitzing\, Dorda\, and Pepper and by Tsui and Gossard is a consequence of gauge invariance and the existence of a mobility gap. Edge effects are shown to have no influence on the accuracy of quantization. An estimate of the error based on thermal activation of carriers to the mobility edge is suggested.\n \nPodeis encontrar toda la info en: https://inspirehep.net/literature/175567

SUMMARY:Seminar by Carlos Garcia Garcia (CIEMAT): “The status of single scalar field dark energy”
DESCRIPTION:Title: The status of single scalar field dark energy \nSpeaker: Carlos Garcia Garcia (CIEMAT) \nVenue & Time: Red Room / 15:00 \nAbstract: We are entering an exciting era in cosmology\, with tantalizing hints of dynamical dark energy. While current data are not yet sufficient to determine its nature\, they may already provide clues about its microphysical origin. Assuming the latest observations (DESI BAO + SNe Ia + CMB) are correct\, I will show that the evidence for dynamical dark energy remains mild and depends on prior choices. Furthermore\, assuming dark energy arises from a single scalar field\, I will show that current data mildly favor models with a negative squared mass and either a non-minimal coupling to gravity or a non-standard kinetic term. These scenarios lead to distinct signatures in the ISW effect\, the growth of cosmic structure\, and Solar System tests of gravity. I will discuss why current probes are not yet sufficient to distinguish between them and the prospects for uncovering the microphysical nature of dark energy with upcoming observations.

SUMMARY:Seminar by Cypris Plantier (LPSC\, Grenoble): “Various aspects of higher-form fields: from gauge-group topology to dark matter”
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Cypris Plantier (LPSC\, Grenoble) \nVenue & Time: Red Room / 15:00 \nTitle: Various aspects of higher-form fields: from gauge-group topology to dark matter \nAbstract: Quantum field theory allows for the existence of antisymmetric tensorial gauge fields possessing several Lorentz indices. These so-called higher-form fields constitute intriguing\, ambiguous objects sitting at the interface between local dynamics and global topology: they naturally couple to extended operators\, encode topological structures\, and play a central role in characterizing the vacuum structure of non-abelian gauge theories. At the same time\, those are shown to propagate physical scalar and vectorial degrees of freedom\, making higher-form fields natural and promising dark matter candidates.\nThis seminar will present a historical and conceptual overview of higher-form fields\, focusing on their application to dark matter physics. Particular emphasis will be placed on the recent developments regarding the interplay between duality and dark matter portals within effective field theory frameworks.
