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: Three-dimensional Massive Gravity and the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect Abstract: In this talk I will compare the massive spin-2 modes that have been observed in the Fractional Quantum Hall effect with the Fierz-Pauli description of massive spin-2… 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: Entanglement Resolution and Boundary Conformal Field Theory Abstract: Conformal field theory is playing an essential role in developing our understanding of entanglement in many-body systems and field theory. I will discuss how it allows one to access… 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

What were Albert Einstein’s first wife’s contributions to his extraordinary productivity in the beginning of his career? Why are sexism, homophobia and racism still so prevalent in physics? In two separate upcoming talks, hosted by Dublin Institute for… 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

Title: Spin-resolved Topology in Quantum Materials Abstract: Topological insulating (TI) phases were originally highlighted for their disorder-robust bulk responses, such as the quantized Hall conductivity of 2D Chern insulators. With the discovery of time-reversal- (T-) invariant 2D TIs, focus has since shifted to… Read More
