Title: Recent Developments in Quantum Cosmology Abstract: After a brief overview of the concepts behind quantum cosmology, with an emphasis on the no-boundary proposal for the very early universe, I will present the Kontsevich-Segal criterion. Kontsevich and Segal have… Read More

Title: Flavour Puzzles and the LHCb Experiment Abstract: Why is there no antimatter in the universe and why does nature provide us with three generations of similar fundamental fermions? These so-called flavour puzzles are among the most intriguing… Read More

Title: Covariant Loop Quantum Gravity and Cosmology Abstract: The covariant formulation of Loop Quantum Gravity dynamics, referred also as Spinfoam, provides currently the most complete formulation for a non-perturbative theory of quantum gravity. It is a formulation of the gravitational path integral as a… Read More
