Journée Théorie du CPTGA 2025

Auditorium (LAPTh)

Le CPTGA vous invite à sa 16ème "Journée de Physique Théorique". Le but de ces journées est de permettre des échanges entre physicien.ne.s théoricien.ne.s de Grenoble/Annecy travaillant dans des domaines très variés. Il est à la fois question de comprendre de la belle science et de découvrir le travail des collègues locaux. Le thème de […]

Yangian symmetry, GKZ equations and integrable Feynman graphs

Salle des Sommets (LAPTh)

Speakers: Fedor Levkovich-Maslyuk (Centre for Mathematical Science, City St George’s, University of London) DATE IN DISCUSSIONWe extend the powerful property of Yangian invariance to a new large class of conformally invariant multi-loop Feynman integrals. This leads to new highly constraining differential equations for them, making integrability visible at the level of individual Feynman graphs. Our […]

Strings & Cosmology Meeting

Auditorium (LAPTh)

This 3 days workshop aims at gathering string theorists and cosmologists to discuss recent developments on the timely topics of: Dark energy (cosmological constant or dynamical) Hubble tension and early […]

Entanglement and complexity of thermal states

Salle des fourmis (LAPTh)

Speakers: Samuel GARRATT (Princeton University) Studies of entanglement in the ground states of many-body systems have provided insights into the relation between spatial correlations, low-energy spectral properties, and the computational […]

Alek Bedroya – Holographic Constraints on the String Landscape

Speakers: Alek Bedroya (Princeton University) . Abstract: I will discuss scale separation in top-down string theory constructions of AdS vacua, focusing on proposals based on compactifications on Ricci-flat manifolds such as DGKT and KKLT. I will then present a general argument that the putative CFT duals of such scale-separated AdS vacua cannot emerge as infrared […]

Testing unification and the heterotic string with the axion-photon coupling

Salle des Sommets

Speakers: Mario Reig Lopez (Cern) The topological nature of axion couplings to gauge bosons offers unique opportunities to obtain information about the UV limit of the SM. I will discuss why the discovery of an axion-like particle above the QCD line would rule out grand unified theories and the perturbative heterotic string. Based on 2206.07053, […]

Geneviève Fest

Auditorium / Grande Galérie (LAPTh Annecy)

On the occasion of her retirement, a workshop to celebrate Geneviève Bélanger's contributions to research, group building, and mentoring activities. A tentative timetable is now available. Note that in addition to the scheduled review talks, there will be two "open mic" sessions open to all participants for their personal recollection, anecdotes, etc. To join by Zoom: […]
