In the first half of the talk, I will review the notion of
non-invertible symmetries and how they help us to analyze certain
strongly coupled QFTs like 2d Adjoint QCD. Then, I discuss the
representation theory of non-invertible symmetries and use
it...
Astronomical observations indicate that coherent, dynamically
important magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the Universe. However,
neither the origin problem -- what are the physical mechanisms that
generate the initial ``seed'' magnetic fields —- nor...
A primary scientific outcome of the Apollo program was the giant
impact theory for lunar origin, in which a collision at the end of
Earth’s main accretionary phase creates a disk from which the Moon
forms. In the past decade, the nature of a Moon...
Conformal blocks are fundamental objects in the conformal
bootstrap program of 2D conformal field theory and are closely
related to four dimensional supersymmetric gauge theory.
In this talk, I will demonstrate a probabilistic construction of
a...
