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 […]

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 […]

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.

Precision spectroscopy, fundamental constants, and new physics [Colloquium]

High-resolution spectroscopy of the simplest atoms and molecules plays an important role in the determination of fundamental physical constants such as the Rydberg constant or the proton charge radius, and may also be used to probe for hypothetical interactions beyond the standard model. As an introduction to this topic, I will review recent work on […]

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 […]
