Curvature in Noncommutative Geometry
masoud khalkhali - Western University
After the seminal work of Connes and Tretkoff on the Gauss-Bonnet theorem for the noncommutative 2-torus and its extension by Fathizadeh and myself, there have been significant developments in understanding the local differential geometry of these noncommutative spaces equipped with curved metrics…
Bulk-Edge Correspondence in 2+1-Dimensional Abelian Topological Phases
Jennifer Cano - University of California, Santa Barbara
The same bulk two-dimensional topological phase can have multiple distinct, fully-chiral edge phases. We show that this can occur in the integer quantum Hall states at fillings 8 and 12 with experimentally-testable consequences. We also show examples for Abelian fractional quantum Hall states, the…
On the role of the extra kinetic term coupling ƛ in classical Hořava-Lifshitz gravity
Luis Pires - Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen
We study the classical constraint algebra of Hořava-Lifshitz gravity, where due to the breaking of 4d diffeomorphism symmetry, there is a new dimensionless coupling absent in GR and whose role is not yet clear. Starting from two apparently contradictory results, we show how the role of the extra…
Black holes without Lorentz symmetry
Thomas Sotiriou - University of Nottingham
Our current definition of what a black hole is relies heavily on the assumption that there exists a finite maximum speed of propagation for any signal. Indeed, one is tempted to think that the notion of a black hole has no place in a world with infinitely fast signal propagation. I will use concrete…
Behind the Scenes of the Universe: From the Higgs to Dark Matter
Gianfranco Bertone - University of Padova - Department of Mathematics
Critical Behavior of the Classical XY-model on Fractal Structures
There has been considerable interest in determining whether the universality hypothesis extends to systems which are of non-integer dimension or to systems which are scale invariant (fractals). Specifically research into these types of systems is concerned with determining the relevance of…
Towards Scaling Relations in Relativistic Hydrodynamics and Gravity
Ryan Westernacher-Schneider - Westgate Research
Turbulence is ubiquitous in hydrodynamics and its study is dominated by statistical methods and dimensional arguments. Even so analytic results tend to rely heavily on statistical symmetries. I will discuss some such results in non-relativistic turbulence and possible extensions to the relativistic…

Simulations of Binary Neutron Star Mergers
Marcelo Ponce - University of Toronto
By numerically solving Einstein equations we are able to study the strong regime of gravity. In many astrophysical scenarios strong gravity plays a fundamental role such as compact binary systems: e.g. Black Hole binaries binary Neutron Stars and Black Hole-Neutron Star systems. In this talk I will…
Holographic Path to the Turbulent Side of Gravity
Stephen Green - University of Nottingham
We study the dynamics of a 2 1-dimensional relativistic viscous conformal fluid in Minkowski spacetime. Such fluid solutions arise as duals under the gravity/fluid correspondence to 3 1-dimensional asymptotically antide Sitter (AAdS) black-brane solutions to the Einstein equation. We examine…
Modeling of RNA Nanotube using Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Shyam Badu - Wilfrid Laurier University
We construct the novel RNA nanpclusters- the RNAnanotubes made of several nanorings. We study the struc-tural properties (i.e. the Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD)the radius of gyration and radial distribution function) ofRNA nanotube up to the size of about 20nm in physilogicalsolution that can be…
