Ivano Basile – Horror vacui: instabilities in scale-separated Casimir compactifications

Speakers: Ivano Basile (Garching, Max Planck Inst.) . Abstract: Finding reliable scale-separated vacua with no moduli in the string landscape is a considerable challenge, yet it is essential to connect string theory to our universe. Among several attempts, toroidal compactifications supported by fluxes and Casimir energy stand out for their simplicity and degree of parametric […]

Physique fondamentale à partir de la structure à grande échelle de l’Univers à travers / Fundamental physics from large-scale structure across cosmic times)

Auditorium (Annecy)

Speakers: Azadeh Moradinezhad (Laboratoire d'Annecy-le-Vieux de Physique Théorique (LAPTh)) Le modèle /CDM décrit remarquablement bien l'Univers observé, mais il ne rend pas compte de l'origine des structures ni de lanature du secteur sombre. La précision croissante des observations met en évidence des tensions pouvant signaler une nouvellephysique. Dans cet exposé, je présenterai mes travaux et […]

Simulations and modeling for precision cosmology

Auditorium Vivargent (LAPTh)

Speakers: Zarija Lukic Ongoing and upcoming cosmology surveys aim to address some of the deepest questions in fundamental physics—from the nature of dark energy and dark matter to tests of gravity and particle physics on the largest observable scales. Interpreting these data, which probe multiple cosmic epochs and physical scales, is a formidable challenge: it […]

Hommage à Richard Taillet

L'UFR Science et Montagne (SceM) et le Laboratoire d'Annecy de Physique Théorique (LAPTh) de l'Université Savoie Mont Blanc organisent une journée en hommage à notre collègue Richard Taillet, qui nous a quitté en été 2025. Cette journée sera l'occasion de nous remémorer un collègue engagé et apprécié, autant sur le plan de la recherche, de […]

Gravitational probes of dark matter: off the beaten path

Auditorium Vivargent (LAPTh)

Speakers: Kfir Blum (weizmann institute of science) Many astrophysical and cosmological systems show compelling positive evidence for the existence of dark matter. Yet, as all of this positive evidence is based on gravitational effects, the fundamental particle nature of dark matter remains unknown, hidden behind the veil of the equivalence principle. I will discuss attempts […]

Naman Agarwal – Toward an Effective Theory of the Volume Modulus

Speakers: Naman Agarwal (University of Manitoba) . Abstract: In this talk, I will talk about my recent work with collaborators where we investigate the 4-dimensional effective theory of the warped volume modulus in the presence of stabilizing effects from gaugino condensation by analyzing the linearized 10-dimensional supergravity equations of motion. Warping is generally expected to […]
