The nu=5/2 enigma: Recent insights from theory and experiment
peaker: Ady Stern & David Mross (Weizmann) Speaker: Ady Stern & David Mross (Weizmann Title: The nu=5/2 enigma: Recent insights from theory and experiment Abstract: Non-Abelian phases of matter have […]
Naturalness and muon anomalous magnetic moment
Title: Naturalness and muon anomalous magnetic moment Abstract: We study a model for explaining the apparent deviation of the muon anomalous magnetic moment, (g-2), from the Standard Model expectation. There […]
Exotic quantum matter: From lattice gauge theory to hyperbolic lattices
Title: Exotic quantum matter: From lattice gauge theory to hyperbolic lattices Abstract: This talk, in two parts, will discuss two (unrelated) instances of exotic quantum matter. In the first part, […]
Cornering the universal shape of fluctuations and entanglement
Title: Cornering the universal shape of fluctuations and entanglement Abstract: Understanding the fluctuations of observables is one of the main goals in physics. We investigate such fluctuations when a subregion […]
Quantum gravity from quantum matter
Title: Quantum gravity from quantum matter Abstract: We present a model of quantum gravity in which dimension, topology and geometry of spacetime are collective dynamical variables that describe the pattern […]
More Exact Results in Gauge Theories: Confinement and Chiral Symmetry Breaking
Title: More Exact Results in Gauge Theories: Confinement and Chiral Symmetry Breaking Abstract: In this follow-up to Hitoshi Murayama’s talk “Some Exact Results in QCD-like and Chiral Gauge Theories”, I […]
Three-particle mechanism for pairing and superconductivity
Title: Three-particle mechanism for pairing and superconductivity Abstract: I will present a new mechanism and an exact theory of electron pairing due to repulsive interaction in doped insulators. When the […]
The Hilbert Space of large N Chern-Simons matter theories
Title: The Hilbert Space of large N Chern-Simons matter theories Abstract: We demonstrate that all known formulae for the thermal partition function for large N Chern Simons matter theory admit […]
Strong Coupling Theory of Magic-Angle Graphene: A Pedagogical Introduction
Title: Strong Coupling Theory of Magic-Angle Graphene: A Pedagogical Introduction Abstract: In this talk, I will review a recently developed strong coupling theory of magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene. An advantage […]
Symmetry types in QFT and the CRT theorem
Title: Symmetry types in QFT and the CRT theorem Abstract: I will discuss ideas around symmetry and Wick rotation contained in joint work with Mike Hopkins (https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.06527). This includes general […]
