Technion-Haifa University String Theory Group

Seminars

During the semester we have a high energy seminar and a lunch seminar. In addition to these two seminars we participate in a joint theoretical high energy theory seminar in Newe Shalom. The joint seminar takes place on Tuesdays from 10:30 until 13:30 and includes two talks and lunch. This seminar is attended by the high energy groups of all the Israeli institutions and usually attracts a crowd of roughly twenty participants.

Title: Multi-trace correlators in the SYK model and Non-geometric wormholesAbstract: We consider the global fluctuations in the density of states of the SYK model, which are much larger than the standard RMT correlations. We provide a diagrammatic description …

Title: Bootstrapping N = 4 super-Yang-Mills on the conformal manifoldAbstract: We study the N = 4 SYM stress tensor multiplet 4-point function for any value of the complexified coupling tau, and in principle any gauge group (we focus on SU(2) and …

Title: Thermal Order in 3dAbstract:  Our intuitive understanding of thermodynamics suggests that broken global symmetries in the stable vacuum of a physical system, get restored at high temperatures. We construct a unitary, UV-complete 3d QFT that instead exhibits a spontaneous breaking of …

Title: Conformal operators in SYK-like models and their numerical effectsAbstract: Quantum mechanical models with random interactions have an infinite number of bilinear operators, the scaling dimensions of which can be computed explicitly in the large N …

Title: Magnetic Quivers, Phase Diagrams, and Physics at Strongly Coupled Quantum Field TheoriesAbstract: Quiver gauge theories experienced a breakthrough in activity through two important concepts, called “magnetic quivers” and “Hasse (phase) diagrams”. The first helps understanding …
