Network Operators and Quantum Moduli Space of Flat Connections
Maxime Gabella
1:45pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall
Line operators in class S theories correspond to network operators on the associated Riemann surface. I will describe the algebra of functions on the moduli space of flat SL(N)-connections in terms of a set of networks that are naturally associated...

The Einstein-Rosen Bridge on the String
David Vegh
1:45pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall

In this talk I review the holographic dual of an entangled pair of a quark and an anti-quark. The bulk dual on the Poincare patch is a string with an Einstein-Rosen bridge on its worldsheet. String solutions will be discussed that correspond to...

Colorless Top Partners, Naturalness and the Higgs
Gustavo Burdman
1:45pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall

The LHC data are severely constraining natural theories of electroweak symmetry breaking.

An important part of the constraints comes from the fact that typically the partners of the top quark in carry color and can be profusely produced at hadron...

The Three-Loop Cusp Anomalous Dimension in QCD
Johannes Henn
1:45pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall
The cusp anomalous dimension is an ubiquitous quantity in four-dimensional gauge theories. It governs the dependence of a cusped Wilson loop on the ultraviolet cut-off and appears in many physical quantities. In particular, it controls the infrared...
