Geometry of quantum phases and emergent Newtonian dynamics

Condensed Matter
In the first part of this talk I will discuss how one can characterize geometry of quantum phases and phase transitions based on the Fubini-Study metric, which characterizes the distance between ground state wave-functions in the external parameter space. This metric is closely related to the Berry curvature. I will show that there are new geometric invariants based on the Euler characteristic. I will also show how one can directly measure this metric tensor in simple dynamical experiments. In the second part of the talk I will discuss emergent nature of macroscopic equations of motion (like Newton's equations) showing that they appear in the leading order of non-adiabatic expansion. I will show that the Berry curvature gives the Coriolis force and the Fubini-Study metric tensor is closely related to the inertia mass. Thus I will argue that any motion (not necessarily motion in space) is geometrical in nature.
Bootstrapping the O(N) Vector Models

Quantum Fields and Strings
We study the conformal bootstrap for 3D CFTs with O(N) global symmetry. We obtain rigorous upper bounds on the scaling dimensions of the first O(N) singlet and symmetric tensor operators appearing in the \phi_i x \phi_j OPE, where \phi_i is a fundamental of O(N). Comparing these bounds to previous determinations of critical exponents in the O(N) vector models, we find strong numerical evidence that the O(N) vector models saturate the bootstrap constraints at all values of N. We also compute general lower bounds on the central charge, giving numerical predictions for the values realized in the O(N) vector models. We compare our predictions to previous computations in the 1/N expansion, finding precise agreement at large values of N.
Including astroparticle observables in global fits to new physics scenarios

Particle Physics
Searches for physics beyond the standard model come in many forms, from terrestrial probes to astroparticle experiments and cosmological observations. Efforts to combine multiple search channels in 'global fits' to new physics scenarios typically consider only a subset of the available channels. Astroparticle searches in particular are usually only included in a very approximate way, if at all. In this talk I will review recent progress in including detailed gamma-ray, neutrino and CMB searches for dark matter in global fits. I will also preview some of the future developments and challenges in this field, where the applicability of global fits will move well beyond the small range of constrained supersymmetric models they have so far mostly been applied to.
Hybrid quantization of the Gowdy model within loop quantum cosmology

Cosmology
Loop quantum cosmology (LQC) proposes a quantization for homogeneous cosmologies which success in solving the classical singularity problem. Realistic scenarios call for the consideration of inhomogeneities. Focusing on the simplest inhomogenous cosmological model, the Gowdy model with three-torus spatial topology and linearly polarized gravitational waves, I'll describe an approach to treat inhomogeneities in the framework of loop quantum cosmology. This is a hybrid approach that combines LQC methods with Fock quantization. Furthermore, I'll discuss justified approximations that allow us to find approximate solutions to the (very complicated) Hamiltonian constraint of the model.

Condensed Matter
We argue that dynamics of gapless Fractional Quantum Hall Edge states is essentially non-linear and that it features fractionally quantized solitons propagating along the edge. Observation of solitons would be a direct evidence of fractional charges. We show that the non-linear dynamics of the Laughlin's FQH state is governed by the quantum Benjamin-Ono equation.

Quantum Gravity
AdS/CFT is a duality relating the degrees of freedom in a D dimensional bulk gravity theory to a (D-1) dimensional theory living on the boundary. I will argue that in fact the boundary theory contains only a subset of the bulk observables. For each state of the boundary theory, there are multiple bulk states dual to it, which can be operationally distinguished by observers who fall across event horizons. Based on arXiv:1210.3590.
