The Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) is an independent statutory research body established in 1940. Through its three constituent Schools it pursues fundamental research in Celtic Studies, Theoretical Physics and Cosmic Physics. The DIAS is funded by… Read More

Despite its great accordance with experiment, the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics falls short of explaining several aspects of nature. Therefore, it is widely accepted that one needs to consider beyond SM scenarios in pursuit of an… Read More

Title: Vacuum phases of gauge theories Abstract: Understanding the dynamics of strongly coupled non-Abelian gauge theories constitutes one of the ongoing grand challenges in theoretical physics. This has been motivated by the need to understand long-distance behavior of… Read More

Title: Non-equilibrium dynamics of fractional quantum Hall states Abstract: For nearly four decades, fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states have continued to fuel a broad interest in topological phases of matter and their unique properties such as fractionalisation, protected… Read More

Title: Effects of lattice defects in dark matter direct detection experiments Abstract: In order to expand the coverage of the direct searches of dark matter (DM) towards lower mass DM particles, new detectors with low thresholds for observing… Read More

Title: Constructing new solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation Abstract: Some theories have, in addition to momentum and energy, higher conserved charges. These theories are said to be integrable and can be exactly solved. Examples are the Kepler problem, Hubbard… Read More

Title: Stückelberged Unimodular vs Goldstino Brane Approach to Pure dS Supergravity Abstract: Recent progress in understanding de Sitter spacetime in supergravity and string theory has led to the development of a 4D supergravity with spontaneously broken supersymmetry allowing… Read More

Title: Spin 1/2 from Colour and a Little More Abstract: The theta vacuum in QCD is the standard vacuum, twisted by the exponential of the Chern-Simons term. But what is the quantum operator U(g) for winding number 1?… Read More
