Non-deformation quantisation of integrable systems

We will present a new approach to the problem of quantising integrable systems of differential-difference equations. The main idea is to lift these systems to systems defined on free associative […]

Self-Organised Localisation

 I will describe a new phenomenon in quantum cosmology: self-organised localisation. When the fundamental parameters of a theory are functions of a scalar field subject to large fluctuations during inflation, […]

Entanglement entropy of free fermions on graphs

Abstract: The von Neumann entropy is key quantity in quantum information and in the investigation of many-body models. In this talk, we will show that tools from algebraic combinatorics and from the study of time and band limiting problems can simplify its computations for systems of free fermions on graphs. 

Primordial neutrino asymmetry evolution in the early Universe [remote talk]

Contrary to charged lepton degeneracies which are tightly constrained by the measured baryon-to-photon ratio, the allowed values of the primordial neutrino asymmetries cover a large range. In order to study the evolution of these asymmetries in the early Universe, one needs to solve a set of quantum kinetic equations that include vacuum mixing effects, mean-field […]

Renormalisation of integrable sigma-models [remote talk]

Classical integrable sigma-models form an important class of two-dimensional integrable field theories. It is a long standing belief that such models define renormalisable Quantum Field Theories. In this talk, I will review some recent developments related to this question. For instance, I will discuss some checks of this conjecture in several examples, including theories coupling […]

Feebly-Interacting Particles for flavour and muon g-2 anomalies

Flavourful Feebly-Interacting Particles (FIPs) in the MeV to GeV range have a strong impact on precision frontier observables ranging from rare meson decays to the lepton anomalous magnetic moments. Based on an effective field theory approach “SM+X” along with the HEPfit package to study the effect of FIPs on B to K observables. We present […]

From UV to IR and back [Remote talk]

By considering the photon-graviton scattering amplitude at low-energy including loops from the Standard Model, I will argue how we can infer constraints on the UV behaviour of the gravitational scattering amplitude. I will also comment on implications to other gauge fields in four and higher dimensions and application to the Weak Gravity Conjecture and connections […]
