It is important to understand the origin of exceptional symmetries like E7 duality in 4d M-Sugra. Depending on the context and the defining property at work (anomaly or divergence cancellation, attractor mechanism, classification of supergauge...

Since the discovery of Higgs, particle physics is now face a transition. What is the next step is the major questions to our field. I will discuss an initiative from China: Circular electron-positron Collider and its design and R&D progress. In...

I discuss a new family of four-dimensional CFTs, recently proposed by O.Gurdogan and myself, emerging as a double scaling limit of weakly coupled and strongly gamma-twisted N=4 SYM theory. These non-supersymmetric and non-unitary CFTs inherit the...

With the recent LIGO results it has been clear that we can learn a lot about the distribution of binary black hole systems. Yet the origin of these black holes is still unknown. Do they come from galactic centers, globular clusters, or from more...

To what extent are deep learning models similar to complex physical systems? I will discuss analogies between aspects of deep learning, glassy systems, and Brownian motion. The results may help us to improve second-order optimization algorithms.
