High Energy Theory Seminar

Effective Actions for Anomalous Hydrodynamics
Mukund Rangamani
1:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall

In recent years we have come to appreciate that the microscopic dynamics of quantum field theory leave behind indelible signatures in long range, near-equilibrium phenomena. We will describe an effective field theory which captures some of these...

Regge Theory: Old and New
Simon Caron-Huot
1:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall
Regge theory is the idea that physical observable in quantum theory can be defined for complex angular momentum. Its main result is the possibility to analyze an amplitude in one channel, in terms of the states exchanged in another channel, in...

Anomaly induced transport and Chiral part Cardy Formula
Loganayagam Ramalingam
1:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall
In this talk, I plan to review some of the recent advances in anomaly induced transport processes with a focus on the relation between Lorentz anomalies and thermal transport. The focus will be on an interesting observable called `thermal helicity'...
