Speakers: Nicolas CrampéI will give the definition of the Leonard pair and itsconnection with the Askey-Wilson algebra.The use of these objects is explained in the context of different areas:integrable systems, centralizer, graph theory and special functions.I will explain generalizations I am interest in.https://indico.in2p3.fr/event/31460/
Speakers: Nico Gubernari (Cambridge U., DAMTP)Rare $B$ meson decays are powerful probes for testing the Standard Model (SM). Recent measurements of several observables in $bto s mumu$ transitions have revealed tensions with the corresponding SM predictions. These tensions — or anomalies — have a significance above $3sigma$. However, the theoretical predictions in these decays are […]
Prof. Anamaria Font (Central University of Venezuela) is a renowned string theorist whose career has recently been recognised thanks to the L’Oréal-UNESCO International Award "For Women in Science" (see here and here). At an early stage of her career (1987-1989), Anamaria has also been a postdoc in LAPTh, Annecy, France. It is thus our pleasure […]
Speakers: Davide Racco (Ethz)The low-frequency part of a primordial gravitational wave spectrum generated by local physics in a wide class of phenomena (such as a phase transition), is largely fixed by causality, offering a clean window into the early Universe. The physics of low-frequency modes allows to probe in a model-independent way the Hubble rate […]
