Abstract: I will start with some comments
about the theoretical and experimental status of conformal
invariance in critical phenomena, first proposed by A. Polyakov in
1970. I will then focus on a couple of experimentally significant
models of...
Abstract: The key word in the title is
“IN”. Unlike AdS where observers can be thought of as living on the
boundary of space, or even in a laboratory beyond the boundary, in
dS the observer is part of the system; he or she lives “in” the de
Sitter...
Abstract: MAGIS-100 is a macroscopic
‘Quantum-Sensor’, based on a 100-meter light-pulse atom
interferometer, being built at Fermilab by an international
collaboration, in search of the “dark” sector of the universe
(“dark” matter and energy) and...
The Institute for Advanced Study requires that all adult
visitors, collaborators, conference and on-campus seminar attendees
and outside vendors coming to the Institute are required to have
completed a COVID-19 vaccination and booster in order to...
Abstract: Over the last few years, much has
been learned about the types of special functions that Feynman
diagrams give rise to near integer dimensions. In this talk, I
further explore this question by studying a new infinite class of
planar...
