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: 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), […]

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 […]
