Abstract: Classical black holes obey laws of
thermodynamics, which suggests that quantum black holes are
complicated statistical systems. This supposition has been
validated in specific examples using string theory and holography,
but a general...
Abstract: Arising in hidden sector models of
dark matter, millicharged particles could be produced copiously at
facilities such as the LHC. However, due to their very small energy
depositions, large detectors like CMS or ATLAS are blind to
such...
Abstract: Is there a geometric object
underlying the cosmological wavefunction for Tr $\phi^3$ theory,
just as associahedra underlie scattering amplitudes? In this talk,
I will describe a new class of polytopes that answer this question.
I will...
Abstract: I will discuss progress in the
programme of establishing a holographic duality for regular tilings
of hyperbolic space. As candidate boundary theories, we consider
spin chains with aperiodic couplings whose ground state may be
represented...
Abstract: In this talk, I will present
recent advances in the understanding of mesonic bound states in 2d
QCD, obtained by employing synergy integrability techniques and the
S-Matrix bootstrap. This talk will be based on 2406.11078, 2312.15598 (with...
Abstract: Event Horizon Telescope studies
prefer Magnetically Arrested Disk (MAD) accretion flows over their
more weakly magnetized Standard and Normal Evolution (SANE)
counterparts. These models produce efficient jets via the
Blandford-Znajek (BZ)...
