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

Title: Frame PB-groupoid of a VB-groupoid Abstract: Principal bundles are essential objects in gauge theories. A basic example of a principal bundle is the frames (or pointwise ordered basis) of a vector bundle on a manifold. Using this… Read More

Title: An Overview of the E11 Program Abstract: We will discuss the claim that the low energy effective action of the theory of strings and branes possesses an E11 Kac-Moody symmetry. We will show that a certain non-linear realization… Read More

Title: New Physics: Where Do We Stand? Abstract: This talk will be a discussion of our long-standing search for new phenomena in High-Energy Physics. We will describe the current situation, a decade after the Higgs discovery, and talk… Read More
