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 […]

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 […]

Quantum Gravity meets Statistical Physics

In this talk, I will give a description of semi-classical gravity in terms of quantum chaos and statistical physics. I will present the OPE Randomness Hypothesis (ORH), a generalization of ETH to CFTs which treats any OPE coefficient involving a heavy operator as a pseudo-random variable with an approximate Gaussian distribution. I will then present […]

A tale of dark matter production

In this talk, I will discuss various possibilities of producing dark matter in the early universe. By describing the transition between an inflationary epoch to a late time cosmology, I will emphasize how the dynamics of the universe can affect dark matter production and leave a cosmological imprint, allowing some of these scenarios to be constrained.

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 interesting astrophysical and cosmological implications. At first, I will outline the scheme and sensitivity of a novel radio probe, axion gegenschein, in which axion-like particles […]
