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

Title: PRyMordial: The First Minutes of the Universe Computed in Seconds Abstract: Talk – Slides Talk – Video

Title: Freeze-in: Problems and Opportunities Abstract: FIMP dark matter is produced via the freeze-in mechanism, which implies tiny couplings between the DM and the standard model particles, making DM direct detection and collider searches almost hopeless. Moreover, it… Read More

Extended MHD and Coupled Fluid-Kinetic Simulations of Planetary Magnetospheres: Applications to Mercury and Ganymede Global simulations have become an invaluable tool in planetary magnetosphere studies, aiding in interpreting satellite observations, uncovering new physics and processes, and generally deepening… Read More

Planet formation in the JWST era Protoplanetary discs surrounding young newborn stars consist of gas and to a small fraction of dust. These micro meter sized dust grains can then grow to become mm-cm sized pebbles, which drift… Read More

Title: Neutrinos and the Prospects for New Physics Abstract: Neutrino oscillation studies have brought neutrinos to the center of particle physics. I briefly review the status of precision neutrino results and comment on the theoretical options for the… Read More

Title: A Novel Proposal for Ultra Light Dark Matter Abstract: Inspired by Schrodinger’s 1955 paper at DIAS a novel proposal is made for Fuzzy Dark Matter candidate. Possible evidences point to such a scenario. Talk – Slides Talk –… Read More

Title: Wigner’s Semicircle Distribution as Limit Distribution Abstract: We show that the Wigner distribution is a limit with probability 1 of the eigenvalue distribution of random matrices. Talk – Slides Talk – Video

Title: Non-Abelian Gerbes with Connections in Higher Gauge Theory Abstract: “Higher forms arise as gauge potentials in a number of contexts within physics. The prime example is the Kalb–Ramond B-field of string theory, which is found also in… Read More
