New Perspectives on (Quantum) Gravity
Luca Ciambelli - Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics
We expect certain universal results in classical gravity to come unaltered from a quantum theory of gravity. In this talk, I will firstly discuss new ideas on this topic, and the latest understanding we have on this, in an accessible way. After that, I will focus on local symmetries in gravity, and…
Aspects of Rotating Black Holes in Dynamical Chern-Simons Gravity
Leah Jenks - Brown University
In this talk I will give an overview of recent and ongoing work regarding rotating black holes in dynamical Chern-Simons (dCS) gravity. dCS gravity is a well motivated modified theory of gravity which has been extensively studied in gravitational and cosmological contexts. I will first discuss…
The Story of Anyons
Steve Simon - University of Oxford - Rudolf Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics
I will review the history of anyons, particles that are neither bosons nor fermions, starting with their theoretical proposal all the way to their definitive experimental observation over 40 years later. I will further discuss why the more general idea of non-abelian anyons is of intense interest…
Exotic compressible quantum liquids and fractons in coupled wire models
Joseph Sullivan - Yale University
The coupled wire construction is a powerful method for studying exotic quantum phases of matter. In this talk I will discuss some recent work in which this technique was used to realize new types of 3D compressible quantum phases. These phases possess a U(1) charge conservation symmetry that is…
Integrable spin chain for the 2D black hole sigma models
Gleb Kotousov - Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY
The quantization of a non-linear sigma model in 1+1 dimensional space-time, whose target space is equipped with a non positive definite metric is an interesting open problem having potential applications to string theory and Condensed Matter Physics. Perhaps the simplest example where it can be…
Dark Matter search with electron counting sensors
Juan Estrada - Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab)
The talk will present the status and plans of the search for low mass dark matter using electron counting semiconductor detectors. In this talk I will describe the skipper-CCD technology and the results of the SENSEI experiment using this technology for direct dark matter search. Finally, I will…
The scattering transform in cosmology, or, a CNN without training
Sihao Cheng - Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics
Patterns and complex textures are ubiquitous in astronomical data but challenging to quantify. I will present a new powerful statistic called the “scattering transform”. It borrows ideas from convolutional neural nets (CNNs) while retaining the advantages of traditional statistics. As an example, I…
Reflection in algebra and topology
Aaron Mazel-Gee - University of Southern California
In this talk, I will discuss a new duality that was recently discovered in joint work with David Ayala and Nick Rozenblyum, which we refer to as reflection. In essence, reflection amounts to two dual methods for reconstructing objects, based on a stratification of the category that they live in. As…
AGN Variability and HEAN in the age of VRO
Cyril Creque-Sarbinowski - Flatiron Institute
Over the next ten years, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory (VRO) will observe ∼10 million active galactic nuclei (AGN) with a regular and high cadence. During this time, the intensities of most of these AGN will vary stochastically. Moreover, these fluctuations may also be connected to the high-energy…
