SUMMARY:IFT and DFT's Two Minutes Meeting 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for Theoretical Physics (IFT) and the Department of Theoretical Physics (DFT) are delighted to invite you to this year’s Two Minutes Meeting\, which will take place on Thursday\, November 19\, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM\, in the Sala Azul at IFT.\n\nThe idea is simple: get to know the people we work with\, discover what everyone does\, exchange ideas\, and create opportunities for new collaborations. We warmly encourage everyone at IFT and DFT to participate\, from students and early-career researchers to senior scientists\, as well as administrative and support staff. We are all part of the same community! Each participant will have around two minutes to introduce themselves\, share a little about their work\, and help us put faces to names. Great science often starts with a simple conversation. We’ll wrap up the meeting with coffee at 1:00 PM in the IFT cafeteria\, where we can keep the conversations going. \nWe hope to see you all there!

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:Special Seminar by Mario de Marco (ULB): Bethe Ansatz equations\, Calogero-Moser systems and elliptic functions
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mario de Marco (ULB) \nVenue & Time: Red Room / 12:00 \nTitle: Bethe Ansatz equations\, Calogero-Moser systems and elliptic functions \nAbstract:The superconformal indeces of 4d SCFTs count their BPS states and\, holographically\, the microstates of the dual black holes. A possible approach to the exact computation of the index requires solving the so-called Bethe Ansatz equations (BAE). In this talk\, I will introduce a rewriting of the BAE in terms of elliptic functions\, focusing on the case with 16 supercharges. Such a rewriting permits 1) to quantitatively capture the conjectural relation of BAE with the Calogero-Moser integrable system (and the related continuous solutions) and 2) to rephrase the BAE in terms of configurations of lines on a plane intersecting an elliptic curve.\nBased on WIP with M. Graffeo and A. Zanetti

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.
