DESCRIPTION:Mathematical Aspects of Scattering Amplitudes Program \nDates: April 15 – May 24\, 2024 \nLocation: Harvard CMSA\, 20 Garden Street\, Cambridge\, MA 02138 \nThis program will bring together and foster interaction between theoretical physicists and mathematicians working on various topics connected to recent developments in our understanding of scattering amplitudes in quantum field theory. The field has advanced considerably since 2019 when the CMSA hosted the program “Spacetime and Quantum Mechanics\, Total Positivity and Motives.” Recent developments have primed this area for further significant advances\, which will be facilitated by bringing together many of the relevant experts for intensive discussion and collaboration. \nThe program will feature a weekly seminar series. \nTuesday\, April 16\, 2024\n4:15 pm\nSabrina Pasterski\, Perimeter Institute\nTitle: Radiation in Holography \n[Physics Talk]\nWednesday\, April 17\, 2024\n4:30 pm –  Cruft 309\nAna-Maria Raclariu\, King’s College London \nThursday\, April 18\, 2024\n4:15 pm\nLionel Mason\, University of Oxford\nTitle: Hidden symmetries of SD Poincare Einstein metrics in split signature \n[Physics Talk]\nTuesday\, April 23\, 2024\n4:30 pm – Jefferson 256\nJuan Maldacena\, Institute for Advanced Study \nThursday\, April 25\, 2024\n4:15 pm\nTomasz Taylor\, Northeastern University\nTitle: Progress in Yang-Mills-Liouville Theory \n[CMSA Colloquium]\nMonday\, April 29\, 2024\n4:30 – 5:30 pm\nLance Dixon\, Stanford\nTitle: The DNA of Particle Scattering \nTuesday\, April 30\, 2024\n9:00 am- Jefferson 453\nNima Arkani-Hamed\, IAS\nTitle: Surfaceology and the Real World Part 1 \n1:00 pm – Jefferson 453\nNima Arkani-Hamed\, IAS\nTitle: Surfaceology and the Real World Part 2 \n4:00 pm – Jefferson 453\nNima Arkani-Hamed\, IAS\nTitle: Surfaceology and the Real World Part 3 \nWednesday\, May 1\, 2024\n11:00 am – Science Center 507\nJaroslav Trnka\, UC Davis\nTitle: Loops of loops expansion in the Amplituhedron \n3:00 pm\nYu-tin Huang\, National Taiwan University\nTitle: Loop in trees: Chambers in amplitudes and correlation functions \n4:00 pm\nLivia Ferro\, University of Hertfordshire\nTitle: Scattering Amplitudes from Null-cone Geometry \n5:00 pm\nStephan Stieberger\, Max Planck Institute\nTitle: One-loop Double Copy Relation in String Theory and Twisted (Co)homology \nThursday\, May 2\, 2024\n11:00 am – Science Center 310\nDaniil Rudenko\, Chicago\nTitle: Introduction to Cluster Polylogarithms \nFriday\, May 3\, 2024\n11:00 am\nAndrew McLeod\, Edinburgh\nTitle: Genealogical Constraints on Feynman Integrals \nTuesday\, May 7\, 2024\n3:00 pm\nJacob Bourjaily\, Penn State\nTitle: The Algebraic and Transcendental Structure of Perturbative QFT \nWednesday\, May 8\, 2024\n3:00 pm\nRuth Britto\, Trinity\nTitle: Cuts and Symbols \nTuesday\, May 14\, 2024\n3:00 pm\nJames Drummond\, University of Southampton\nTitle: Multiple light-like Wilson loops in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory \nWednesday\, May 15\, 2024\n3:00 pm\nMatteo Parisi\, Harvard CMSA\nTitle: The amplituhedron and cluster algebras \nTuesday\, May 21\, 2024\n11:00 am\nMichael Borinsky\, ETH Zurich\nTitle: On the Euler characteristic of the commutative graph complex and the top-weight cohomology of the moduli space of curves \nWednesday\, May 22\, 2024\n11:00 am\nChaim Even-Zohar\, Technion\nTitle: Amplituhedron tiles and twistor polynomials \n  \nOrganizers: \n\nNima Arkani-Hamed (Institute for Advanced Study)\nMarcus Spradlin (Brown University)\nAndrew Strominger (Harvard University)\nAnastasia Volovich (Brown University)\nLauren Williams (Harvard University)\n\nParticipants: \n\n\nMichael Borinsky\, ETH Zurich\nJacob Bourjaily\, Pennsylvania State University\nRuth Britto\, Trinity College\nLance Dixon\, Stanford Linear Accelerator Center\nJames Drummond\, University of Southampton\nChaim Even-Zohar\, Technion\nLivia Ferro\, University of Hertfordshire\nCarolina Figueiredo\, Princeton University\nHadleigh Frost\, Oxford University\nBruno Gimenez\, University of Southampton\nOmer Gurdogan\, University of Southampton\nXuhua He\, Chinese University of Hong Kong\nPaul Heslop\, Durham University\nYu-Tin Huang\, National Taiwan University\nDani Kaufman\, University of Copenhagen\nJianrong Li\, University of Vienna\nTomasz Lukowski\, University of Hertfordshire\nYelena Mandelshtam\, University of California\, Berkeley\nLionel Mason\, University of Oxford\nAndrew McLeod\, University of Edinburgh\nNatalie Paquette\, University of Washington\nMatteo Parisi\, Harvard University\nSabrina Pasterski\, Perimeter Institute\nDmitri Pavlov\, Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences\, Leipzig\nLizzie Pratt\, University of California\, Berkeley\nClaudia Rella\, University of Geneva\nDaniil Rudenko\, University of Chicago\nGiulio Salvatori\, Max Planck Institute for Physics\nMelissa Sherman-Bennett\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\nJonah Stalknecht\, University of Hertfordshire\nStephan Stieberger\, Max Planck Institute\nTomasz Taylor\, Northeastern University\nRan Tessler\, Weizmann Institute of Science\nHugh Thomas\, Université du Québec à Montréal\nJaroslav Trnka\, University of California\, Davis\nCristian Vergu\, Pennsylvania State University

SUMMARY:From quantum Hall to Hubbard physics in twisted bilayer graphene
DESCRIPTION:Quantum Matter in Mathematics and Physics Seminar \nSpeaker: Eslam Khalaf (Harvard) \nTitle: From quantum Hall to Hubbard physics in twisted bilayer graphene \n\nAbstract: Early on it was noticed that twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) has elements in common with two paradigmatic examples of strongly correlated physics: Hubbard physics and quantum Hall physics. On the one hand\, TBG hosts flat topological Landau-level-like bands which realize quantum anomalous Hall states and orbital ferromagnetism under the right conditions. On the other hand\, these bands are characterized by concentrated charge density and show experimental signs of fluctuating magnetism\, and unconventional superconductivty; all characteristics of Hubbard-model-like physics. The emergence of fluctuating moments is particularly surprising\, as localized Wannier states do not exist in topological bands. I will discuss a phenomenological model for the flat bands in TBG that centers the concentration of charge density and\, relatedly\, the concentration of Berry flux. The bands obtained have excellent quantitative agreement with the Bistritzer-Macdonald model for realistic parameters. I will show that\, rather remarkably\, the model hosts decoupled flavor moments which despite being only power-law delocalized with infinite localization length\, have parametrically small overlap with each other. I will show how this unifies many of the observations in TBG and leads to a novel Mott semimetal phase for intermediate temperatures where moments are thermally disordered but charge fluctuations are mostly frozen.

SUMMARY:On the landscape of 4d N=2 SCFTs
DESCRIPTION:CMSA Member Seminar \nSpeaker: Robert Moscrop\, Harvard CMSA \nTitle: On the landscape of 4d N=2 SCFTs \nAbstract: Four-dimensional conformal field theories with sufficient (N = 2) supersymmetry are highly constrained. So much so\, there has been an ongoing effort to classify them using only information about their moduli space of vacua. In this talk\, I will review recent progress in this classification before detailing a subclass of theories for which the classification problem is particularly tractable.
