Alphabets for Quantum Field Theory

As the LHC accumulates data, the need grows for more efficient methods to compute scattering amplitudes. One such method manages to swap the difficult problem of integrating thousands of Feynman […]

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 […]
