Title: Bootstrapping Matrix Quantum Mechanics Abstract: Matrix quantum mechanics theories are at the heart of holography, but only the simple case of a single matrix has been tractable. We have developed a new method to calculate the spectrum and expectation values of… Read More

Title: Chiral Boundary States for Fermions Abstract: I’ll describe boundary conditions for fermions in d=1+1 dimensions, using the framework of boundary conformal field theory. I’ll explain how boundary states are classified by a mod 2 index, related to their SPT phase, describe… Read More

Title: Buildings, Quaternions and Yang-Baxter Equations Abstract: To be useful in theoretical physics, mathematical structure  has to be sufficiently rich and cover several fields of mathematics, physics and, potentially, computer science. One of the barriers to overcome is different… Read More

Title: Interplay of Molecular Symmetry & Strong Correlations in Molecular Junctions Abstract: Single molecule transistors offer a fascinatingly diverse range of physics due to their ultrasmall size, chemical complexity, and strong electronic interactions. They constitute a playground for… Read More

Title: Euclidean Quantum Field Theory: Axioms and Automorphic Forms Abstract: The partition functions of euclidean quantum field theory can be described as functions on the moduli space of compact manifolds with Riemanninan metric that have few generalized derivatives. The conventional derivative with respect to the… Read More

Title: Entanglement in the Quantum Hall System and a Generalized Chern-Simons Form Abstract:  We analyze some features of the entanglement entropy for an integer quantum Hall state in comparison with ideas from relativistic field theory and noncommutative geometry…. Read More
