Nicklas Ramberg: Unveiling Hidden Sectors with Gravitational Waves (“The Gravitational Wave Stairway”)

https://zoom.us/j/3601731049?pwd=bVNQRjUxU2ExZ0cveWcxYXNUUGdjZz09 (A/1-106 - Seminarska soba fizike (F5))

In this talk we explore the potential of gravitational wave (GW) observations to probe the structure of hidden sectors beyond the Standard Model (BSM).  We argue that the sequential decoupling of new degrees of freedom in these sectors can leave … Read More

Michael Zantedeschi: On the fate of evaporating black holes: how the burden of their memory stabilizes them

https://zoom.us/j/3601731049?pwd=bVNQRjUxU2ExZ0cveWcxYXNUUGdjZz09 (A/1-106 - Seminarska soba fizike (F5))

The “memory burden” effect describes how an object’s stored information resists its own decay. This effect is especially pronounced in “saturons”—systems with maximal entropy consistent with unitarity—of which black holes are prime examples. I will show how this memory burden … Read More

Enrico Morgante: Gravitational waves from confinement in improved holographic QCD

https://zoom.us/j/3601731049?pwd=bVNQRjUxU2ExZ0cveWcxYXNUUGdjZz09 (A/1-106 - Seminarska soba fizike (F5))

I will discuss gravitational waves produced during the confinement phase transition in SU(N) Yang-Mills, using a holographic description. The key ingredient will be the construction of the effective action, with the kinetic term playing an important role. https://indico.ijs.si/event/2680/

Petr Šulc, “DNA and RNA nanotechnology: molecular computing, therapeutics, and the quest for the holy grail of self-assembly”

A/1-106 - Seminarska soba fizike (F5) (Jamova)

The control over the self-assembly of complex structures is a long-standing challenge of biomimetic nanotechnology, as the desired assembly pathway is often kinetically derailed by the formation of competing alternative structures or amorphous aggregates. The goal of inverse design problem … Read More

Borut Bajc: E6

C/2-X - F1 čajnica (Jamova)

I will motivate the use of E6 grand unified theory and describe a  realistic E6 GUT which gives rise to novel possible intermediate stages.  https://indico.ijs.si/event/2874/
