Title: Monopoles and Baryons from Sphalerons and Instantons Abstract: I will discuss non-perturbative quantum field theory phenomena in theStandard Model of particle physics and its extensions, described bysemiclassical sphaleron and instanton solutions. In the StandardModel, they violate baryon number and therefore play an important rolein… 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

Title: Staggered Bosons Abstract: I will discuss a novel construction of field theories based on the idea that one has only a half boson degree of freedom per lattice site. Basically, instead of having a pair of canonical conjugate commuting variables… Read More
