Strong gravitational lensing is a powerful observational tool in astrophysics and cosmology which has been used to study the mass and light properties of galaxies and quasars the scales and distributions of dark matter subhaloes and the expansion history of the Universe.
In recent times quantum computational complexity has been a major interest to both QI and HEP communities. Complexity in the Krylov basis is one such candidate which has proved its worth in several setups by providing us with meaningful insights.
Black holes serve as natural laboratories for probing gravity under extreme conditions. New Insights in Black Hole Physics from Holography, hosted at the Instituto de Física Teórica UAM/CSIC in Madrid, will bring together leading researchers to discuss recent advances in black hole physics through the framework of holography. The workshop will cover a range of […]
I will give a brief overview of the so called flavor anomalies, describing the main strategies followed to disclose physics beyond the Standard Model. I will focus on selected modes and observables that can help identifying the nature of new physics.
Cluster cosmology is potentially one of the most powerful observational probes of structure formation. However, enabling unbiased cosmological constraints requires careful modeling of the cluster selection function. In the case of optical cluster cosmology, this requires accurate modeling of projection effects. We will introduce a new simulation-based inference framework with which we reanalyze DES Y1 […]
Speaker: Julio Navarro Institution: University of Victoria Abstract: Lambda Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) is the most successful theory for the formation of structure in the Universe. Although its predictions have been verified on large scales, they are still contested on the scale of dwarf galaxies, whose dynamical properties are often cited as evidence for the […]
Speaker: Francesco Gentile Institution: SISSA Location&Place: Grey Room 2 Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss some new interesting properties of geodesic bit threads in static backgrounds. Bit threads are an insightful tool for investigating holographic entanglement entropy, providing a reformulation of the Ryu-Takayanagi formula in terms of the maximal flux of a bounded and […]
Speaker: Luca Melotti Institution: IFT UAM/CSIC Location&Place: Blue Room Abstract: This thesis explores infinite distance limits in the vector multiplet moduli space of type II string theory on Calabi–Yau threefolds. First we classify such limits, identify the towers of light states, and test the Emergence Proposal, which links IR kinetic terms to loop corrections from […]
Speaker: Ignacio Ruiz García Institution: IFT UAM/CSIC Location&Place: Blue Room Abstract: This thesis studies the global asymptotic structure of moduli spaces in effective field theories compatible with Quantum Gravity, focusing on the Swampland Distance Conjecture. We develop taxonomy rules that determine the arrangement of towers of light states and duality frames at infinite distance, showing a […]
The JUNO reactor neutrino experiment has recently begun collecting data, marking the start of a new precision era in neutrino research. With its unparalleled precision, JUNO is poised to refine our understanding of most neutrino oscillation parameters. Its cornerstone measurement - the determination of the neutrino mass ordering -- holds the promise of a breakthrough. […]
