Energy Operators in Particle Physics, QFT, and Gravity - June 6-13, 2025
4 talks-Collection NumberC25035Detector operators, of which the average null energy operator provides the most famous example, arise as direct theoretical models of asymptotic measurements in collider experiments. In QFT, detector operators are expressed in terms of "light-ray operators", whose correlation functions provide an interesting class of non-perturbatively well-defined observables. There has recently been renewed interest in detector operators coming from three distinct directions: In CFTs, there has been progress understanding the space of light-ray operators, their organization into Regge trajectories, and their appearance in Lorentzian operator product expansions. In perturbative QFT and gravity, borrowing techniques from the study of scattering amplitudes, there has been progress understanding multi-point correlation functions of detector operators, in particular, their function space and singularities. Finally, in particle physics, there have recently been direct measurements of correlation functions of detector operators in collider experiments, enabling measurements of their scaling behavior and the structure of multi-point correlators of light-ray operators in QCD. In this mini-course I will give an introduction to the theory of light-ray/ detector operators, their correlators, and their applications in particle phenomenology, and provide an overview of the recent progress in the directions mentioned above. Throughout, I will attempt to highlight the different perspectives and motivations for studying these operators, coming from the CFT, amplitudes and phenomenological communities. I will conclude with a discussion of open problems in both theory and phenomenological applications, as well as highlighting areas where theoretical developments could have an impact on real world applications at colliders.

Quantum Gravity (Elective), PHYS 644, February 24 - March 28, 2025
13 talks-Collection NumberC25014The main goal of this course is to show in which ways General Relativity (GR) is similar, and especially in which ways it is different, from other gauge theories. The largest component of the course is dedicated to studying the specific symmetry structure of GR and how it intimately relates to its dynamics. To do so, we will introduce a host of concepts and techniques, broadly (and loosely) known under the name of “Covariant Phase Space Method”. This provides a different perspective on GR’s physics, a perspective in which phase space, rather than spacetime, is front and center. Along the way we will take a few detours: we will explore (parts of) the historical debate on whether gravity should be quantized at all, discuss how to think of time evolution when there is no absolute time, and go through Wald’s proposal of black hole entropy as a Noether charge. The intended outcome of the course is to provide a new perspective on GR which, hopefully, will inform you on why it is much harder to quantize than other theories – especially from a non-perturbative perspective. In this sense the course always keeps an eye on Quantum Gravity, even though there will be very little “quantum” in it. It is also a course that does not hinge on any specific approach to the quantization of gravity. Also, it is worth noting that the covariant phase space techniques are broadly used in the current literature on the black hole information paradox, soft symmetries, and holography, and is therefore a useful tool to learn if you are interested in any of these topics.

Causal Inference (Elective), PHYS 777, March 31 - May 2, 2025
13 talks-Collection NumberC25015Can the effectiveness of a medical treatment be determined without the expense of a randomized controlled trial? Can the impact of a new policy be disentangled from other factors that happen to vary at the same time? Questions such as these are the purview of the field of causal inference, a general-purpose science of cause and effect, applicable in domains ranging from epidemiology to economics. Researchers in this field seek in particular to find techniques for extracting causal conclusions from statistical data. Meanwhile, one of the most significant results in the foundations of quantum theory—Bell’s theorem—can also be understood as an attempt to disentangle correlation and causation. Recently, it has been recognized that Bell’s result is an early foray into the field of causal inference and that the insights derived from almost 60 years of research on his theorem can supplement and improve upon state-of-the-art causal inference techniques. In the other direction, the conceptual framework developed by causal inference researchers provides a fruitful new perspective on what could possibly count as a satisfactory causal explanation of the quantum correlations observed in Bell experiments. Efforts to elaborate upon these connections have led to an exciting flow of techniques and insights across the disciplinary divide. This course will explore what is happening at the intersection of these two fields.
