Title: Correlations, Representations and the Emergence of Spacetime Abstract: There are reasons to expect that spacetime might change dimension at sufficiently high energies or at least that, at energies as high as the Planck scale, spacetime might emerge from an essentially non-geometric structure. The… Read More

DIAS Planetary Science Studentship: closing date Thursday March 21st 2024
From mid-May 2024, the DIAS Planetary Magnetospheres group (dias.ie/planetary) is offering a 2-to-3-month studentship for a motivated candidate to work with the group on the topic of Jupiter’s moon Europa. Jupiter’s moon Europa is thought to harbour an… Read More

Title: Non-Relativistic Gravity Abstract: I will discuss the 1/c expansion of general relativity where c is the speed of light. At low orders this gives Newton-Cartan gravity and generalisations thereof. At higher orders (and weak fields) this can… Read More

Title: Maxwell Theory of Fractons Abstract: In this talk I will show that the main properties of the fracton quasiparticles can be derived from a generalized covariant Maxwell-like action. Starting from a rank-2 symmetric tensor field, a partially symmetric… Read More
