Searching for axions in the sky and the lab
Axion is a light particle arising in QCD as a solution to the strong CP problem and is considered to be one of the most promising dark matter candidate with […]

Within the AdS/CFT correspondence, the entanglement properties of the CFT are related to wormholes in the dual gravity theory. This gives rise to questions about the factorisation properties of the […]
Abstract: We consider an effective field theory framework with three Standard Model (SM) gauge singlet right-handed neutrinos and an additional SM gauge singlet scalar field. The framework generates eV masses […]
The Lambda-cold-dark-matter (LCDM) model has established itself as a fantastic (yet parametric) concordance model able to adjust a wide variety of cosmological observables — CMB, BBN, Large Scale Structure (LSS) […]
I will discuss string theory compactifications where a large number of moduli is stabilized by fluxes. I will first present a conjecture which rules out the stabilization of all complex-structure moduli […]
This is a meeting on topics related to string and field theory, between members of nearby institutions: IP2I (CNRS, UCBL), Lyon LAPTh (CNRS, USMB), Annecy LPENSL (CNRS, ENSL), Lyon More […]
We discuss flux compactifications of Type IIA supergravity on G2 spaces with smeared O2/O6-planes down to three dimensions. We start by presenting the setup of allowed fluxes, the internal geometry, […]

Modulations of X-ray spectra from extragalactic sources might provide a signature of photons converting into axion-like particles (ALPs) when traversing a region with a large-scale magnetic field. A crucial unknown […]
