Hybrid Fracton Orders
Nathanan Tantivasadakarn (Harvard) Video Title: Hybrid Fracton Orders Abstract: I will introduce a family of gapped quantum phases that exhibit the phenomenology of both conventional three-dimensional topological orders and fracton orders […]
Moduli spaces of stable pairs on algebraic surfaces
Interdisciplinary Science Seminar Speaker: Yinbang Lin (Tongji University) Title: Moduli spaces of stable pairs on algebraic surfaces Abstract: As a variant of Grothendieck’s Quot schemes, we introduce the moduli space […]

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 […]
Eppur si muovono: rotations in active matter
Abstract: Living matter relies on the self organization of its components into higher order structures, on the molecular as well as on the cellular, organ or even organism scale. Collective […]
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, […]
