Chandan Hati: Nonstandard Nucleon Decays
https://zoom.us/j/3601731049?pwd=bVNQRjUxU2ExZ0cveWcxYXNUUGdjZz09 (F1 tea room)Nucleon decays are generic predictions of many well motivated theories, including those based on the unification of forces and supersymmetry. I will discuss how nonstandard nucleon decays offer a unique opportunity to broadly probe light new particles beyond the Standard … Read More

Nudžeim Selimović: Topological Portal to the Dark Sector
https://zoom.us/j/3601731049?pwd=bVNQRjUxU2ExZ0cveWcxYXNUUGdjZz09 (F1 tea room)I will discuss a novel topological portal between quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and a dark QCD-like sector. Such a portal is present only for a unique coset structure after QCD confinement and it connects three QCD to two dark pions. When … Read More
Jan Rozman, “From Substrate Dissipation to Internal Dissipation Vertex Model Dynamics: Generating Sustained Flows”
C/2-X - F1 čajnica (Jamova)Speakers: Jan Rozman Complex tissue flows in epithelia are driven by intra- and inter-cellular processes that generate, maintain, and coordinate mechanical forces. There has been growing evidence that cell shape anisotropy, manifested as nematic order, plays an important role in … Read More
Somiealo Azote, “Quantitative Predictions of biomechanical drivers of cell delamination in stratified epithelia (skin epidermis) using a dynamic 3D vertex model”
C/2-X - F1 čajnica (Jamova)Speakers: Somiealo Azote During embryonic development, the skin epidermis gradually transitions from a single layer of stem cells to a stratified, multi-layered tissue. This process involves the coordinated differentiation and upward movement of basal cells, known as delamination. It is … Read More
Shoji, Baratella: The Standard Model lifetime is slightly shorter
https://zoom.us/j/3601731049?pwd=bVNQRjUxU2ExZ0cveWcxYXNUUGdjZz09 (F1 tea room)We revisit the decay rate of the electroweak vacuum in the Standard Model with the full one-loop prefactor. We focus on the gauge degrees of freedom and derive the degeneracy factors appearing in the functional determinant using group theoretical arguments. … Read More
Pietro Baratella: Journal Club on WZW terms without anomalies: generalised symmetries in chiral Lagrangians
https://zoom.us/j/3601731049?pwd=bVNQRjUxU2ExZ0cveWcxYXNUUGdjZz09 (F1 tea room)Journal Club on WZW terms without anomalies: generalised symmetries in chiral Lagrangians (arXiv:2407.20340)Abstract:We consider a 4d non-linear sigma model on the coset $(text{SU}(N)_L times text{SU}(N)_R times text{SU}(2))/(text{SU}(N)_{L+R}times text{U})cong text{SU}(N) times S^2$, that features a topological Wess--Zumino--Witten (WZW) term whose curvature … Read More
Nataša Adžić, “The role of effective interactions in predicting the exotic states of soft matter”
Seminar room of physics (106) (IJS)Speakers: Nataša Adžič (Institute of Physics, Belgrade) Studying static properties of colloidal suspensions is often a computationally expensive task due to their complex composition and interactions that appear at various length scales. Large macromolecules are surrounded by small solute particles … Read More
