Lecture: Introduction to Gravitational Wave Astronomy
Patrick Brady - University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
Exoplanet observation by microlensing and wave optics features
Sohrab Rahvar - Sharif University of Technology
I will introduce the theory and experimental technique of extra-solar planet observation by the gravitational microlensing and give a report on recent results. Then I will discuss the wave optics features in the gravitational microlensing, the analogy of this effect in the astronomical scales to the…
Universality in all-order alpha' corrections to BPS/non-BPS brane world volume theories
Ehsan Hatefi - The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP)
Knowledge of all-alpha' higher derivative corrections to leading order BPS and non-BPS brane actions would serve in future endeavor of determining the complete form of the non-abelian BPS and tachyonic effective actions. In this talk, we note that there is a universality in the all-alpha' order…
Topological Order in Spin Systems
Paul Fendley - University of Oxford
Much effort has been devoted to the study of systems with topological order, motivated by practical issues as well as more field theoretical and mathematical concerns. This talk will give an overview of some of the field, describing abelian systems relevant to the search for spin liquids, and non…
The closest cousins of quantum theory from three simple principles
Cozmin Ududec - Government of the United Kingdom
A very general way of describing the abstract structure of quantum theory is to say that the set of observables on a quantum system form a C*-algebra. A natural question is then, why should this be the case - why can observables be added and multiplied together to form any algebra, let alone of the…
Illuminating the 130 GeV Gamma Line with Continuum Photons
Miriangela Lisanti - Princeton University
There is evidence for a 130 GeV gamma-ray line at the Galactic Center in the Fermi Large Area Telescope data. Dark matter candidates that explain this feature should also annihilate to Standard Model particles, resulting in a continuous spectrum of photons. To study this continuum, we analyze the…
A Flow of Dark Matter Debris: Exploring New Possibilities for Substructure
Miriangela Lisanti - Princeton University
Tidal stripping of dark matter from subhalos falling into the Milky Way produces narrow, cold tidal streams as well as more spatially extended ``debris flows'' in the form of shells, sheets, and plumes.Here we focus on the debris flow in the Via Lactea II simulation, and show that this incompletely…
Glass: The Cinderella Problem of Condensed Matter Physics
Anthony Leggett - University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Amorphous materials (glasses) probably constitute >90% of the solid matter surrounding us in everyday life,yet traditional textbooks of condensed matter physics devote virtually no space to them.Crudely speaking,the puzzles in the behavior of glasses can be divided into three major areas:the glass…
