It was introduced and characterized by Korepin. In recent work with Nick Crawford and Stephen Ng\, we considered bounds that are impo sed by considerations of reflection positivity. The bounds are very rough\, but they do also work in higher dimensions. Moreover\, the graphical repre sentation for these bounds is an object of much study\, which is interestin g on its own.

Many-body localization is an extension of this phenomena to include i nteractions. Effects of interactions show up in the logarithmic growth of e ntanglement after a global quench. We perform a systematic study of the evo lution and saturation of entanglement and show that it can be used to detec t the localization transition. We consider the bipartite fluctuation which also captures the transition and is promising as an experimental probe. We compare these results to that of a non-interacting system and note importan t differences between the two.

A question of considerable recent research interest is whether there exist interacting spin systems with ground states that are universal resources fo r MBQC. While the original universal resource\, the cluster state\, has a n umber of appealing properties\, it has been proven that it cannot arise as an exact ground state of a two-body Hamiltonian. In this talk I will explai n how we can take certain two-body Hamiltonians (including the AKLT Hamilto nian)\, and deform them such that their ground states are arbitrarily close to universal graph states\, while preserving two-bodiness and frustration- freeness. By deforming models in this way\, we can observe transitions in c omputational power similar to physical phase transitions. In agreement with previous no-go results\, we cannot obtain an exact graph state as a ground state\, only an approximation\, and there is a trade-off between the fidel ity of the ground state and the gap of the Hamiltonian.

Their influence spans from DNA and molecular chemistry to vortices in su perfluid helium\, defects in liquid crystals and cosmic strings in the earl y universe. Here\, we show that knotted structures also exist in a peculiar class of three dimensional topological insulators---the Hopf insulators. I n particular\, we demonstrate that the spin textures of Hopf insulators in momentum space are twisted in a nontrivial way\, which implies various knot and link structures. We further illustrate that the knots and nontrivial s pin textures can be probed via standard time-of-flight images in cold atoms as preimage contours of spin orientations in stereographic coordinates. Th e extracted Hopf invariants\, knots\, and links are validated to be robust to typical experimental imperfections. Our work establishes the existence o f knotted structures in cold atoms and may have potential applications in s pintronics and quantum information processings.

Different from the intrinsic topolog ical phase\, e.g.\, the fractional quantum hall(FQH) phase\, SPT phase is o nly distinguishable from a trivial disordered phase when certain symmetry i s preserved. Indeed\, SPT phase has a long history in 1D\, and it has been shown that the well known Haldane phase of S=1 Heisenberg chain belongs to this class. However\, in higher dimensions\, most of the previous studies f ocus on free/weakly interacting electron systems. Until very recently\, it was realized that SPT phase also exists in interacting boson/spin systems i n higher dimensions. In this talk\, I will first discuss how to understand and characterize these phases through their seemingly featureless bulk prop erties. Then I will show how to use topological terms to classify these new class of quantum phases in interacting boson systems systematically in arb itrary dimension. With these topological terms\, the gapless nature of edge states becomes manifested. The topological terms also issue the stability of SPT phases\, regardless the strength of interactions\, so long as the bu lk gap is not closed and symmetry is unbroken. Finally\, I will discuss the generalization of the classifying scheme for interacting fermion/electron systems\, which leads to a new concept and mathematical framework – group s upercohomology theory for fundamental physics.

As-grown topological insulators (TIs) are typically h eavily doped n-type crystals. Compensation by acceptors is used to move the Fermi level to the middle of the band gap\, but even then TIs have a frust ratingly small bulk resistivity. We show that this small resistivity is the result of band bending by poorly screened fluctuations in the random Coulo mb potential. Using numerical simulations of a completely compensated TI\, we find that the bulk resistivity has an activation energy of just 0.15 tim es the band gap\, in good agreement with experimental data. At lower temper atures activated transport crosses over to variable range hopping with a re latively large localization length. Using this theory\, we can also explain the anomalously small thermopower of topological insulators as measured in experiments.

However when supergravity is included\, the U(1)_R m ust be broken\, adding small Majorana mass terms which split the mass of th e two components of the Dirac gaugino and lead to oscillations between U(1) _R charge eigenstates. I will present how these oscillations can lead to CP violating observables\, such as a same sign dilepton asymmetry\, when the two charge eigenstates can decay into the same final state.

We consider a related problem o f constructing the IR Lagrangian of an N=2 theory on a special family of ci rcle fibrations over R^3 -- namely Gibbons-Hawking spaces. We propose that the answer is a novel deformation of the standard 3d hyperkahler sigma mode l and study the constraints imposed by supersymmetry on such a theory. In particular\, supersymmetry implies that the contribution of the NUT center to the sigma model path integral must be a holomorphic section of a certain holomorphic line bundle over the hyperkahler target space. We illustrate v arious features of this deformed sigma model using examples involving Abeli an gauge theories on Gibbons-Hawking spaces.

Three aspect s are addressed: (i) the relaxation process\, (ii) the size of the temporal fluctuations after relaxation\, (iii) the conditions to reach thermal equi librium. The relaxation process and the size of the fluctuations depend on the interplay between the initial state and the Hamiltonian after the pertu rbation\, rather than on the regime of the system. They may be very similar for both chaotic and integrable systems. The general picture associating c haos with the onset of thermalization is also further elaborated. It is arg ued that thermalization may not occur in the chaotic regime if the energy o f the initial state is close to the edges of the spectrum\, and it may occu r in integrable systems provided the initial state is sufficiently delocali zed.

A no vel version of the duality from M-theory to F-theory is proposed\, in which M-theory on certain Spin(7) manifolds is dual to F-theory on the same geom etries times an interval. The F-theory effective action is discussed by upl ifting the M-theory effective action from three to four dimensions.

Color is essential in describing i nteractions at the subatomic level\, though not directly observable\, since all observables in nature are colorless. Nevertheless\, it can be observed in an indirect way due to the in- terplay of quarks and gluons in a proton . In particular this is the case when we in the description of protons go b eyond the ordinary collinear parton distribution functions (PDFs) and we co nsider transverse momentum dependent PDFs (TMDs). The effects shows up when looking at azimuthal asymmeties in high energy scat- tering processes. One becomes sensitive to polarization modes of the partons and protons that on e cannot probe without accounting for transverse momenta of par- tons. We p resent a new effect in which color changes the outcome of measurements as c ompared to a naive calculation\, when azimuthal asymmetries in these partic le interactions are considered. This effect even appears in a simple proces s like the Drell-Yan process\, in which a lepton-pair is produced in a high -energy proton-proton scattering.\n LAST-MODIFIED:20140508T145021Z LOCATION: SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:YITP Seminar: Maarten Buffing\, "How to observe color in a color-bl ind world" TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20140505T180000Z DTEND:20140505T190000Z DTSTAMP:20150702T160001Z UID:esl5b8d7fpj0aioplfhsl34ei0@google.com CREATED:20140222T053615Z DESCRIPTION: LAST-MODIFIED:20140501T044355Z LOCATION: SEQUENCE:1 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY: Jnanadeva Maharana: T-duality for Massive States in String Theory TRANSP:TRANSPARENT END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20140507T183000Z DTEND:20140507T193000Z DTSTAMP:20150702T160001Z UID:lfimaoagtm7cbfa1o4alg0uqc0@google.com CREATED:20140402T160304Z DESCRIPTION:Title: Topological Superconductor - Luttinger liquid Junctions\ n\nAbstract: A spin-orbit coupled quantum wire\, proximate to a\nsupercondu ctor\, has a topological phase with Majorana modes localized at\neach edge of the superconductor.

We introduce simple methods to detect the SET o rder directly from a complete set of topologically degenerate ground state wave functions. In particular\, we first show how to directly determine the characteristic symmetry fractionalization of the quasiparticles from the r educed density matrix of the minimally entangled states. Second\, we show h ow a simple generalization of a string order parameter can be measured to d etect SET. The selection rules will get a characterization of SET. This way is more physical\, and can be used by other methods\, e.g.\, quantum Monte Carlo methods or potentially measured experimentally. We demonstrated the usefulness of this approach by considering a spin-1 model on the honeycomb lattice and the resonating valence bond state on a kagome lattice.

A remarkable proposal for fault-toleran t quantum computation\, topological quantum computation\, encodes quantum i nformation in robust non-local degrees of freedom of particles known as 'an yons'. More remarkably still\, the information encoded over these special p articles can be manipulated fault-tolerantly by braiding their world lines into non-trivial topologies. This mathematically elegant proposal is not ju st a theoretical pleasantry\, but it is believed that anyonic particles can be realised as low energy excitations of topologically ordered lattice mod els. While this promises an exciting route towards an age of quantum techno logy\, anyons are yet to be detected\, and their realisation remains a chal lenging feat of engineering. Alternatively\, it has recently been identifie d that defects in topologically ordered lattice models will also demonstrat e some features that are analogous to anyonic particles. This presents an e xciting new avenue towards quantum fault-tolerance. In this talk I will dis cuss topological quantum computation. We will go on to look at recent resul ts in the area of topological defects\, and examine the tools we can use to study them.

These states – which give rise to the quantum spin Hall effect in two dimensions – are robust against time-reversal invariant perturbation s when the electron-electron (e-e) interaction is strongly screened. Howeve r\, for weak screening this property is lost. As a case in point I will dis cuss the effect of a Rashba spin-orbit interaction on the helical edge stat es of a quantum spin Hall insulator. A Rashba coupling which is randomly f luctuating in space – due to dopant ions at the quantum well interface – i s found to open a scattering channel which causes localization of the edge modes. A periodic modulation of the Rashba coupling\, produced by a periodi c gating of the heterostructure\, makes the edge insulating already at inte rmediate strengths of the e-e interaction [1]. Other surprising effects fro m the interplay between e-e and Rashba interactions is the suppression of t he Kondo effect at the edge of a quantum \nspin Hall insulator [2]\, and th e emergence of a ”synthetic” helical electron liquid in a quantum wire subj ect to a spatially modulated Rashba coupling [3].\n\n[1] A.

An important difference is that the ground state of a Hamiltonian will generally be entangled and as a resu lt may fail to have a good short classical description. But is entanglemen t a property only of the ground state or can it be made to be important eve n for states with low extensive energy? The quantum PCP (probabilistically checkable proof) conjecture and the NLTS (no low-energy trivial state) con jecture both posit the existence of\nHamiltonians where even low-energy sta tes must be highly entangled. In this talk\, I'll explain why such Hamilton ians (if they exist) must involve only a small number of interactions per s ystem (i.e. must be defined on a low-degree graph). This will follow by sh owing how product states can approximate the ground-state energy of any Ham iltonian on a high-degree graph\, thus putting the corresponding approximat ion problem in NP. This result can be thought of as removing the usual sym metry assumption from mean-field theory.\n\nI will also prove that in many cases\, low-energy product states not only exist but can be found efficient ly. These cases include dense hypergraphs\, planar graphs and graphs whose adjacency matrices have few large eigenvalues.\n\nThis is based on arXiv:1 310.0017\, which is joint work with Fernando Brandao.

T hese measures may be extended to mixed states by the convex roof constructi on. This requires the determination of the convex decomposition of the dens ity matrix into pure states that minimizes the average pure state entanglem ent. One may regard this as the mean pure-state entanglement cost of synthe sizing the density matrix. This minimization is challenging\, and exact sol utions are only known in a few cases\, the most famous of which is the conc urrence for two qubits. The next hardest case would seem to be the three-ta ngle for mixed states of three qubits\, for which an analytic form is curre ntly unknown. In this talk I will describe numerical techniques to both com pute and bound the three-tangle\, and give some properties of the minimal e nsembles for this and other polynomial entanglement monotones.\n\n LAST-MODIFIED:20131014T212047Z LOCATION:YTIP Common Room (Math Tower 6-125) SEQUENCE:2 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:YITP Seminar: Peter Love (Haverford)---"Mixed state entanglement: b ounds\, computation and optimal ensembles" TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20131104T183000Z DTEND:20131104T193000Z DTSTAMP:20150702T160001Z UID:rane2n57t463l7cnk6k9djq1u0@google.com CREATED:20131008T191405Z DESCRIPTION: LAST-MODIFIED:20131008T191430Z LOCATION: SEQUENCE:1 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Ricardo Santamaria TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20131003T183000Z DTEND:20131003T193000Z DTSTAMP:20150702T160001Z UID:j3lclgcns9bc900cjmp23ebo8o@google.com ATTENDEE;CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;CN=YITP;X -NUM-GUESTS=0:mailto:cal@max2.physics.sunysb.edu CREATED:20130814T160601Z DESCRIPTION:Title: Anomaly Mediation from Unbroken Supergravity\n\nAbstract : When supergravity (SUGRA) is spontaneously broken\, it is well known tha t anomaly mediation generates sparticle soft masses proportional to the gra vitino mass. I will discuss how such soft masses should in fact be associat ed with unbroken supersymmetry (SUSY). This counterintuitive result arises because the underlying symmetry structure of (broken) SUGRA in flat space i s (unbroken) SUSY in anti-de Sitter (AdS) space. Already at tree-level this leads to a number of surprises\, including the fact that zero soft masses correspond to broken (AdS) SUSY. At loop level\, when quantum corrections are regulated in a way that preserves SUGRA\, the underlying AdS curvature (proportional to the gravitino mass) necessarily appears in the regulated a ction\, yielding soft masses without corresponding goldstino couplings. Alt ernatively\, one can construct a gauge- and SUGRA-invariant 1PI effective a ction\, which automatically contains the familiar one- and two-loop soft ma sses from minimal anomaly mediation\, as well as unfamiliar tree-level and one-loop goldstino couplings consistent with renormalization group invarian ce.\n LAST-MODIFIED:20131002T204350Z LOCATION:Math Tower 6-125 SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:YITP Seminar: Zachary Thomas (MIT) TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20131002T150000Z DTEND:20131002T160000Z DTSTAMP:20150702T160001Z UID:vrc2b3u7h5c0cvug5va0r0582g@google.com CREATED:20131001T185344Z DESCRIPTION:Title: BPS\, Non-BPS and D-brane anti D-brane Effective action s in type II Super string theory with their corrections to all orders in al pha-prime LAST-MODIFIED:20131001T185523Z LOCATION: SEQUENCE:1 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:YITP Seminar: Eshan Hatefi (ICTP) TRANSP:TRANSPARENT END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20130926T183000Z DTEND:20130926T193000Z DTSTAMP:20150702T160001Z UID:20AAA59A-B383-4745-9345-CF0E2A6D94AE CREATED:20130812T193714Z DESCRIPTION: LAST-MODIFIED:20130925T131752Z LOCATION:Math Tower 6-125 SEQUENCE:4 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Csaba Csaki (Cornell)\, "New approaches to R-parity violation"\, Jo int SBU/BNL seminar @ YITP TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20130912T183000Z DTEND:20130912T193000Z DTSTAMP:20150702T160001Z UID:vfq1mekhju7u64aiiknsjtcvlg@google.com CREATED:20130821T203348Z DESCRIPTION: LAST-MODIFIED:20130912T133746Z LOCATION:Math Tower 6-125 SEQUENCE:3 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:YITP Seminar: Bob Holdom (U.

Events ar e clustered into large radius jets and jet sub-structure techniques are use d to count the number of subjets within each jet. The search consists of a cut on the total number of subjets in the event as well as the summed jet m ass and missing energy. Two different techniques for counting subjets are d escribed and expected sensitivities are presented for eight benchmark signa ls. These signals exhibit diverse phenomenology\, including 2-step cascade decays\, direct three body decays\, and multi-top final states. We find imp roved sensitivity to these signals as compared to previous high multiplicit y searches as well as a reduced reliance on missing energy requirements. On e benefit of this approach is that it allows for natural data driven estima tes of the QCD background.

We ask how entangled the ground state of a FF quantum spin-s chain with nearest-neighbor interactions can be for small values of s. While FF spin-1 /2 chains are known to have unentangled ground states\, the case s=1 remain s less explored. We propose the first example of a FF translation-invariant spin-1 chain that has a unique highly entangled ground state and exhibits some signatures of a critical behavior. The ground state can be viewed as t he uniform superposition of balanced strings of left and right parentheses separated by empty spaces. Entanglement entropy of one half of the chain sc ales as log(n)/2 + O(1)\, where n is the number of spins. We prove that the energy gap above the ground state is polynomial in 1/n. The proof relies o n a new result concerning statistics of Dyck paths which might be of indepe ndent interest.

Later\, C. N. Yang proposed the compactness of gauge fields as a just ification for charge quantization. Compact fields (in lattice gauge theory and nonlinear sigma models) solve the most catastrophic aspects of Dyson in stability. I show that for these models\, it is possible to define renorma lization group flows and beta functions in the entire complex coupling plan e. In addition\, the Fisher's zeros (the zero of the partition function in this complex plane) govern the global behavior of these flows. I discuss th e implications for confinement and conformality for spin models and gauge m odels with fermions which are considered as candidates for dynamical mass g eneration beyond the standard model.

In the large N limit these theories have a high-spin symmetry\, and are dual to Vasiliev's high-spin gravity theories on four dimensional anti -de Sitter space. Maldacena and Zhiboedov showed that the high-spin symmetr y determines the 2-point and 3-point functions of these theories at large N \, up to two parameters. The duality to Vasiliev's gravity suggests that th ere is some mapping between the CS+scalar and CS+fermion theories (when one adds a quartic coupling to the scalar theories to flow to their "critical fixed point"). We compute explicitly the large N limit of some 2-point and 3-point functions in these theories. We show that the results match with th e general results of Maldacena and Zhiboedov\, and they are consistent with an equivalence between the critical theory of N scalars coupled to a U(N) CS theory at level k\, and the theory of k fermions coupled to a U(k) CS th eory at level (N-1/2). We conjecture that this large N equivalence may be a n exact duality between the scalar and fermion theories also at finite N\, thus providing a bosonization of the fermionic theory. Similar results hold for real scalars (fermions) when U(N) is replaced by O(N).

The no n-abelian gauge invariance for the two-form potentials is achieved by the i ntroduction of a hierarchy of forms up to degree four\, where the three and four forms are non-dynamical. The inclusion of the hypermultiplets complet es the field content to that of superconformal (2\,0) theories of multiple M5 branes\, though only (1\,0) supersymmetry is manifestly realized. Confor mal symmetry is achieved by the choice of Hyper-Kaehler-Cone target spaces. The allowed gauge groups are then dictated by the isometry group of the un derlying Quaterionic manifold. These simple concepts will be gently and con cisely introduced. The interacting tensor and hypermultiplets form together with the other (non-dynamical) forms a new on-shell representation of the (1\,0) supersymmetry algebra.

In two dimensions\, one can define an entropic c-function which is monotonically decreasing along RG flow although it is completely different from Zamolodchikov's c-function away from fixed points . Recently\, a three-dimensional counterpart of the c-theorem was conjectur ed and a monotonically decreasing function was constructed from entanglemen t entropy.

We argue th at at the boundary of the allowed region the extremal functional contains\, in principle\, enough information to determine the dimensions and OPE coef ficients of an infinite number of operators appearing in the correlator und er analysis. Based on this idea we develop the Extremal Functional Method ( EFM)\, a numerical procedure for deriving the spectrum and OPE coefficients of CFTs lying on the boundary (of solution space). We test the EFM by usin g it to rederive the low lying spectrum and OPE coefficients of the 2d Isin g model based solely on the dimension of a single scalar quasi-primary – no Virasoro algebra required. Our work serves as a benchmark for applications to more interesting\, less known CFTs (such as the 3d Ising model) in the near future.

It has been known for some time how to simulate fermionic systems and scalable proposal s for electronic structure calculations on quantum computers require some s olution to this problem. Current work makes use of the Jordan-Wigner transf ormation to track phases arising from exchange anti-symmetry. For a single term in a fermionic Hamiltonian on N modes the Jordan wigner transformation requires an overhead of O(N) gates. In this talk I will give an alternativ e to the Jordan Wigner transformation\, originally developed by Bravyi and Kitaev\, which reduces this overhead to O(log N).

Entanglement is a defining feature of quantum mechani cs that in recent years has led to the development of the new discipline of quantum information theory. Its application to spin systems predicts a new type of zero temperature transition in an applied magnetic field at which the nature of the entanglement qualitatively changes without any anomaly in the ground state energy of the system. I will discuss the correlations nea r such an entanglement transition.

We study such a system in the presence of a Rash ba spin-orbit interaction induced by an external electric field\, showing t hat this can be used to control the Kondo temperature\, as well as the corr ection to the electrical conductivity due to the impurity. In particular\, the impurity contribution to the dc conductivity can be switched on and off by properly adjusting the strength of the Rashba coupling.

Here we focus on the debris flow in the Via Lactea II simulation\, and show that t his incompletely phase-mixed material exhibits distinctive high velocity be havior. Unlike tidal streams\, which may not necessarily intersect the Eart h's location\, debris flow is spatially uniform at 8 kpc and thus guarantee d to be present in the dark matter flux incident on direct detection experi ments. At Earth-frame speeds greater than 450 km/s\, debris flow comprises more than half of the dark matter at the Sun's location\, and up to 80% at even higher speeds. Therefore\, debris flow is most important for experimen ts that are particularly sensitive to the high-speed tail of the dark matte r distribution\, such as searches for light or inelastic dark matter or exp eriments with directional sensitivity.

Such quasiparticl es are also of intrinsic interest as they deviate from the conventional cla ssification of bosons and fermions. \nIn bulk samples\, a finite density of quasiparticles naturally arises\, naively producing an extensive topologic ally protected ground state entropy. Microscopic interactions generically l ift this degeneracy producing `descendant' phases of interacting anyons\, m uch as residual exchange interactions lift the extensive spin degeneracy as sociated with a Mott insulator to produce magnetic order. \n\nIn this talk\ , I will review the physics of pinned\, interacting anyons and their known translation-invariant phases and then consider the effects of quenched spat ial disorder\, as arises naturally in realistic samples. In one spatial dim ension\, such disordered anyon models have previously been shown to exhibit a hierarchy of infinite randomness phases under a strong-disorder renormal ization group (SDRG) approach. I will address systems in two spatial dimens ions and show that the flow to infinite randomness of Ising and Fibonacci a nyons does not survive by developing a planar SDRG approach to handle the t opology-dependent interactions generated during the flow. \n\nUsing the alt ernative approach of fermionization\, available only for the Ising case\, w e will instead discover that moderate disorder induces a thermally conducti ng metallic phase. I will highlight the implications of this finding for th e experimental search for anyons in the $\\nu=5/2$ fractional quantum Hall state. \n\nRefs:\nCRL\, Ludwig\, Huse and Trebst. Phys. Rev.

We show that these field theories ca n be realized as deformations of DLCQ ${\\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory . Using the holographic dictionary\, we identify the bulk fields of type II B supergravity that are dual to these deformations. The geometries describi ng the groundstates of the non-Abelian LCS gauge theories realized here exh ibit a mass gap.\n\nThe arXiv version is old and we will be posting a new v ersion soon.

We motivate the importa nce of entanglement in the study of many-body systems by considering the “g ratuitously big” size of Hilbert space and the need for generic ansatzes th at efficiently represent useful wave functions. In addition\, we study the scaling of the entanglement entropy in the two-dimensional spin-1/2 Heisenb erg antiferromagnet\, where our work and other recent work indicate that a subleading logarithmic term contains universal information about the number of Goldstone modes in the symmetry-broken phase. Although entanglement ent ropy is difficult to measure experimentally\, we show that for systems that can be mapped to non-interacting fermions both the von Neumann entanglemen t entropy and generalized R\\'{e}nyi entropies can be related exactly to th e cumulants of number fluctuations\, which are accessible experimentally. I n principle\, this also extends to the full entanglement spectrum. Such sys tems include free fermions in all dimensions\, the integer quantum Hall sta tes and topological insulators in two dimensions\, strongly repulsive boson s in one-dimensional optical lattices\, and the spin-1/2 XX chain\, both pu re and strongly disordered. The same formalism can be used for analyzing en tanglement entropy generation in quantum point contacts with non-interactin g electron reservoirs. Beyond the non-interacting case\, we show that in an alogy to the full counting statistics used in mesoscopic transport\, fluctu ations give important information about many-body systems including the loc ation of quantum critical points.\n LAST-MODIFIED:20120309T210635Z LOCATION: SEQUENCE:7 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY: Francis Song (Yale)\, "Entanglement in Quantum Many-Body Systems" TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20120312T180000Z DTEND:20120312T190000Z DTSTAMP:20150702T160001Z UID:D3E60214-C9AA-48E9-BCF8-EDA0E128B5FF CREATED:20120216T165441Z DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nI will discuss recent advances in the supergravity computation of the backreaction of anti-D3 branes on the Klebanov-Strassler geometry.

The TMDs are fixed by t he possible scalar structures allowed by hermiticity\, parity and time-reve rsal invariance. The existence of leading twist final state interactions al lows for time-reversal odd functions. Thus by relaxing time-reversal invari ance\, one defines two additional functions\, namely\, the Sivers and the B oer-Mulders function. These functions are related\, respectively\, to singl e spin and azimuthal asymmetries\, and are therefore important in our quest for the understanding of the proton spin. \n In the standard approach t owards an evaluation of the T-odd distribution functions\, the final state interactions are mimicked by a one-gluon-exchange. Due to this mechanism\ , the T-odd functions have an explicit dependence in the coupling constant . This gluon exchange is usually described through the inclusion of a pertu rbative gluon propagator. We present results in two different models of pr oton structure: a non relativistic constituent quark model and the MIT bag model. We also consider a non-perturbative approach to the final state inte ractions. We then discuss the intersection of perturbative and non-perturba tive QCD through the concept of hadronic scale.\n\n LAST-MODIFIED:20120202T182249Z LOCATION: SEQUENCE:13 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:YITP Informal Seminar: Aurore Courtoy (IFPA-Interactions Fondamenta les en Physique et en Astrophysique) "T-odd Transverse Momentum Distributio ns in Quark Models and the Role of the Coupling Constant" TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20120215T193000Z DTEND:20120215T203000Z DTSTAMP:20150702T160001Z UID:E944DD53-0F1D-4CE7-A5FA-A59A7F23F4D6 CREATED:20120131T222702Z DESCRIPTION:We propose a method which we call "Isotropic Entanglement" (IE) \, that predicts the eigenvalue distribution of quantum many body (spin) sy stems (QMBS) with generic interactions.

I will review our understanding of this duality from the point of v iew of the twistor formulation of N=4 SYM\, where the Feynman diagrams of t he Wilson Loop are the planar duals of MHV diagrams for the scattering ampl itude\, and BCFW recursion for the amplitude translates to the loop equatio ns for the Wilson Loop.

Quantum computation\, o n the other hand\, is a relatively new research field\, of less than three decades of age. In our work\, we establish a new connection between the two fields\, by showing that a ground state of an isotropic quantum antiferrom agnet can be used as a resource for universal quantum computation by measur ement on the quantum state. Such measurement-based quantum computation util izes an initial entangled resource state and proceeds with subsequent singl e-spin measurements only. However\, there were not many known resource stat es and it was actually shown that they are a rarity. Recent quests for suc h computational resource states have turned to ground states of short-range d\, preferably two-body\, interacting Hamiltonians. In particular\, success has been obtained in the family of the Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki (AKLT) isotropic quantum magnet models\, in which single quantum-bit unitary opera tions were shown to be possible by measurements. However\, single-qubit ope rations are not enough\, and it remained open whether any state in the AKLT family can indeed provide the full capability for universal quantum comput ation. In this talk\, we shall demonstrate that the particular two-dimensio nal spin-3/2 AKLT state on the honeycomb lattice\, known to be a quantum di sordered ground state without Neel order\, does enable universal quantum co mputation. Interestingly\, this state was constructed not long after the no tion of quantum computation started to develop.

Using ultra-sensitive det ectors in the deep underground laboratories\, physicists are attempting to directly detect dark matter particles streaming from space. At colliders\, physicists hope to manufacture large numbers of dark matter particles and s tudy their properties. Motivated by the G-parity in QCD\, I will first intr oduce a new dark matter candidate\, a weakly interacting stable pion\, whic h exists in the effective Lagrangian of new confining ``hidden QCD" with v ector-like coupling of electroweak SU(2) to ``hidden sector'' fermions. I w ill show that in this model the dark matter-nucleus scattering is mediated by a bound state and as a result can explain the DAMA/LIBRA results whilst not being in conflict with other direct detection experiments.

In particula r\, I will discuss the cases of zero and non-zero temperature. I will argue that\, generically speaking\, the two-point functions of integrable models can be represented in terms of series of multiple integrals that have a na tural interpretation as a multidimensional deformations of the Fredholm ser ies for the Fredholm determinant of an integrable integral operator. Such r epresentations can be obtained from the so-called form-factor expansion of two-point functions. I will then explain how the interpretation in terms of multidimensional deformations of Fredholm determinants allows one to build on Riemann–Hilbert problem based techniques so as to construct new types o f series representations (the so-called multidimensional Natte series) that allow to read-off the asymptotic behavior of the correlator. Part of these results stem from a joint work with Kitanine\, Maillet\, Slavnov and Terra s.

At large angular momentum\, the GKP string get long and fluctua tions can easily propagate and scatter above it. According to the AdS/CFT c orrespondence\, this picture admits a dual description in the planar N=4 Su per-Yang-Mills (SYM) theory. Namely\, the long rotating string is mapped in to the twist-two large-spin Wilson operator and exciting above it correspon ds to increasing the twist.

We first introduce the relev ant parts of quantum information theory and supergravity. We then show how how the entropy and classification of black holes in D=4\, N=2 supergravity coupled to three vector multiplets (the STU model) is mirrored by the enta nglement and classification of three qubits. Following this\, we show how t o generalize this using the Kostant-Sekiguchi correspondence for nilpotent orbits to directly map the classification of extremal black holes to the en tanglement classification of four qubits. Time permitting\, we speculate on what might be going on and some of the applications of this correspondence .

Abstract: We give a f ull list of known supersymmetric quantum field theories related by the Seib erg duality conjectures for the SU(N)\, SP(2N) and G_2 gauge groups. Many o f the presented dualities are new\, not considered earlier in the literatur e. For all these theories we construct superconformal indices and express t hem in terms of elliptic hypergeometric integrals. This gives a systematic extension of the related Romelsberger and Dolan-Osborn results. Equality of indices in dual theories leads to various identities for elliptic hypergeo metric integrals. About half of them was proven earlier\, and another half represents new challenging conjectures. In particular\, we conjecture a doz en of new elliptic beta integrals on root systems. The talk is based on two papers arXiv:0811.1909 and arXiv:0910.5944.

This property is in sharp contrast with the behavior of classical spin Hamiltonians such as the 2D Ising model for which the ground state de generacy is unstable in a presence of external magnetic field. We derive si mple conditions that guarantee stability of the spectral gap and the ground state degeneracy under generic local perturbations. These conditions thus can be regarded as a rigorous definition of TQO. Our results apply to any q uantum spin Hamiltonian that can be written as a sum of geometrically loca l commuting projectors on a D-dimensional lattice. This large class of Hami ltonians includes Levin-Wen string-net models and Kitaev's quantum double m odels. In contrast\, all previous stability proofs were able to deal only w ith some very special models and certain special forms of perturbations. We also derive a tradeoff between the ground state degeneracy and its stabili ty for 2D systems. It can be regarded as an upper bound on the amount of q uantum information that can be stored reliably in a given volume of a 2D la ttice.

Howeve r\, if an SU(N) gauge theory is compactified on a manifold with small spati al volume such as a sphere then the theory becomes weakly coupled\, and the weak-coupling analogue of the confinement-deconfinement transition becomes accessible in the large N limit. We perform a one-loop perturbative calcul ation of SU(N) gauge theory with adjoint representation fermions (adjoint Q CD) on S^1 x S^3 at large\, and small N\, and compare with recent lattice r esults. Adjoint QCD with periodic boundary conditions applied to massive fe rmions is particularly useful for this task as the phase diagram is quite r ich including not only the confined and deconfined phases\, but partially c onfined phases as well. We also discuss the implications for large N volume reduction in adjoint QCD. The technique presented is quite general and can also be applied to QCD and other QCD-like theories.\n LAST-MODIFIED:20091102T054055Z LOCATION: SEQUENCE:4 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:YITP Seminar - Joyce Myers\, Swansea University "On comparing the p hase diagram of SU(N) gauge theories at weak and strong coupling" YITP Comm on Room MT6-125 TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20091029T183000Z DTEND:20091029T193000Z DTSTAMP:20150702T160001Z UID:B768E706-B835-4424-9A70-CF0FACFB3904 CREATED:20091007T203540Z DESCRIPTION:Over the last years\, gauge/string duality has been extended to include gauge theories with an arbitrary number of flavors. We study the f lavoring procedure in the light of calibrated geometry and discuss the spec ial case of a type IIA dual of N=1 super Yang-Mills with flavors. Relating our results to the standard type IIA/M-theory duality\, we find that the us ual oxidation formulas cannot accommodate for the additional flavor branes. We address and solve this issue by considering M-theory with torsion\, whi ch allows us to construct source-modified equations of motion for eleven-di mensional supergravity.

Building upon the general structure of N=2 theories descri bed in previous talks\, we will observe that the N=2 multiplet has a Kahler metric of a special kind\, with a distinguished parametrization. We will s how however that\, for the spin zero component\, this parametrization is no t unique\, but rather a whole family of parametrizations related by SL(2\,Z ) transformations is possible. The study of how these transformations act o n the gauge fields will reveal the presence of an electromagnetic duality. We will briefly review the idea put forward by Montonen and Olive (1977) ab out electromagnetic duality and show that the N=2 case we study exhibits a version of this duality.

We show that regular Bethe-ansat z eigenvectoros of the XXZ spin chain at root of unity are highest weight v ectors of the sl(2) algebra. We give a rigorous proof for this statement [2 ]. Then\, we evaluate the Drinfeld polynomial of a given XXZ Bethe-ansatz e igenstate\, and derive a formula for expressing the Drinfeld polynomial in terms of solutions of the Bethe-ansatz equations\, which was explicitly con jectured by Fabricius and McCoy in Ref. [3]. It follows from the proof that when roots of the Drinfeld polynomial are distinct\, the degenerate multip licity of the Bethe state is givn by some power of 2. We also review some r elevant results for the 8-vertex model. \n\n[1] T.D.\, K. Fabricius and B.M . McCoy\, J. Stat. Phys.

The resulting quasiparticle trajectories define\nworld-lines in 2+1 dimensional space-time\, and the corresponding\nquantum gates depend only o n the topology of the braids formed by\nthese world-lines. This connection between braiding world lines and\nquantum compuation stems from the deep co nnection between quantum\nfield theories and knot invariants. While this id ea seems rather\nabstract and exotic\, there is mounting evidence that such states of\nmatter do exist in quantum Hall systems and the effort to harne ss\ntheir properties for this type of quantum computation is rapidly\nmount ing. In this talk I will review the field of topological quantum\ncompuatio n and I will show how quantum compuations are mapped to\nparticular world-l ine braids\, thus "compiling" a quantum computation\ninto "machine language " instructions.

However\, discovering new physics at the LHC is not always straightfor ward. In this talk\, I discuss a class of elusive Higgs bosons that are mo tivated by theoretical and experimental considerations. The scenario predi cts new decays for the Higgs which make conventional LHC Higgs searches ins ufficient.

In order to make a practical simulation possible\, approximate nume rical methods such as DMRG\, quantum Monte Carlo\, or the coupled cluster t echnique have been developed.  Although these methods work quite well in pr actice\, it is not always known that they give rise to provably efficient s imulation algorithms in the complexity-theoretic sense.  In my talk I will outline the main ideas of  the complexity-theoretic approach to  quantum Ha miltonian problems and review the progress achieved during the last years. I will describe an algorithm that computes the ground state energy and corr elation functions for 2-local Hamiltonians in which the magnitude of spin-s pin interactions is small compared to the Zeeman energy.  The running time of the algorithm is provably polynomial in the number of spins and the requ ired precision. The main technical ingredient of the algorithm is a general ized Kirkwood-Thomas ansatz for the ground state. In the second part of the talk I will describe a random walk algorithm for computing ground state pr operties of frustration-free Hamiltonians avoiding the "sign problem".

This pr oblem is of great importance\n for finding viable implementations of the ad iabatic quantum\n computation. It also arises in the condensed matter physi cs\n in the context of ground state engineering. In my talk I show how to\n map a given n-spin target Hamiltonian with\n bounded-strength k-spin inter actions onto a simulator Hamiltonian with\n two-spin interactions such that the ground state\n energy of the target and the simulator Hamiltonian are the same up to\n an extensive error O(n epsilon) for arbitrary small epsilo n.\n The strength of interactions in the simulator Hamiltonian is bounded\n by a constant inpependent of the system\n size n. This reduction is accom plished using a new way of deriving an\n effective low-energy Hamiltonian\n which relies on the Schrieffer-Wolff transformation of many-body physics.

With this goal in mind\, we study non-conformal gauge theories on D3-branes probing singularities that are constructed by the addition of fractional branes. Th e RG flows associated to these theories can be interpreted as duality casca des. We find evidence that such flows are often chaotic\, show self-similar fractal features and exhibit exotic features such a duality walls. We expl ore the validity of the a-theorem conjecture in this context. Finally\, we develop a general supergravity construction which we use to construct gravi ty duals for del Pezzo surfaces that match our field theory beta functions.

For each state preserving half of the supersymmetries we find the corresponding geometry which does not have singularities or horizons. On t he field theory side these states are described by a fermionic harmonic osc illator and we propose a simple relation between the phase space of this os cillator and the dual geometry.\n LAST-MODIFIED:19700101T000000Z LOCATION: SEQUENCE:1 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:YITP Seminar - Oleg Lunin\, IAS "AdS/CFT correspondence for 1/2 BPS states" Common Room MT6-125 TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20061012T183000Z DTEND:20061012T193000Z DTSTAMP:20150702T160001Z UID:E2DF60C2-C9E9-4E69-AFE3-AF3FAD3E2F1B CREATED:20061002T181500Z DESCRIPTION: LAST-MODIFIED:19700101T000000Z LOCATION: SEQUENCE:6 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:YITP Seminar - Ofer Aharony (IAS) "The CFT/AdS correspondence" YITP Common Room MT6-125 TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20060330T193000Z DTEND:20060330T203000Z DTSTAMP:20150702T160001Z UID:CCA50A1F-DA19-4CD0-9881-0A62486271EB CREATED:20060323T183113Z DESCRIPTION: LAST-MODIFIED:19700101T000000Z LOCATION: SEQUENCE:3 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:YITP Seminar - Nissan Itzhaki\, Princeton University "Technical nat uralness and the cosmological constant''" Common Room MT6-125 TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20041210T193000Z DTEND:20041210T203000Z DTSTAMP:20150702T160001Z UID:52479791-0219-404D-88F1-5A7653EE6C8D CREATED:20041210T174433Z DESCRIPTION:We propose a duality between the large-N gauged harmonic \nosci llator and a novel string theory in two dimensions.

Our predictions for the one-electron spectral-function agre e quantitatively for the whole momentum and energy bandwidth with the peak dispersions observed by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy in the qu asi-1D organic conductor TTF-TCNQ \\cite{spectral}. Moreover\, we study the phase diagram observed for the $rm{(TMTTF)_2X}$ and $rm{(TMTSF)_2X}$ serie s of organic compounds by means of a system of weakly coupled Hubbard chain s. This study relies on combining the PDT for the spectral functions of the uncoupled chain system with a renormalization group analysis for the coupl ed chains. At finite energies or temperatures larger than the inter-chain t ransfer integral the system is best described in terms of decoupled chains. Thus\, the frequency dependence of the real part of the optical conductivi ty of the non-Fermi-liquid metallic phase is studied by use of the 1D Hubba rd model \\cite{optical}. On the other hand\, for lower energy the interpla y between electronic correlations and the inter-chain coupling controls the physics and superconductivity becomes the leading instability for small va lues of the onsite repulsion and very small doping \\cite{chains}.

Previous ly\, only the extreme small and large mass limits were known for this quant ity. Our result interpolates smoothly between these previously known limits . The computational method makes use of the fact that the single instanton background has radial symmetry\, so that the computation can be reduced to a sum over partial waves of logarithms of radial determinants\, each of whi ch can be computed numerically in an efficient manner. The bare sum over pa rtial waves is divergent and must be regulated and renormalized. The method is general and versatile\, and can be applied to many field theoretic comp utations.

At tree-level\, new recursion relations foramplitu des of gluons give rise to the most compact formulas known up to now. At on e-loop\, any amplitude of gluons in N=4 super-Yang-Mills can be written as a linear combination of known scalar box integrals with coefficients that a re rational functions. Using a generalization of unitarity cuts\, in partic ular quadruple cuts\, any coefficient can be easily written as the product of four tree-level amplitudes. Therefore\, this new technique solves the pr oblem of computing one-loop amplitudes in N=4 super-Yang-Mills.

However\, in the hadronic environment of the LHC\, most e vents have very complex signatures. A successful search for the Higgs or ne w physics then requires the precise understanding of Standard Model backgro unds. Precision calculations of the relevant scattering processes are extre mely difficult\, the main bottleneck being the computation of multi-leg one -loop amplitudes. To date\, no complete 2 -> 4 process has been calculated using traditional (Feynman graph) techniques. I will present new on-shell m ethods for the calculation of multi-leg amplitudes.

The cusp anomalous dimens ion is a function of the gauge coupling only and its weak coupling expansio n is known\nup to four loops in planar N=4 SYM. At strong coupling\, assumi ng\nthe AdS/CFT correspondence\, the first few terms of the strong coupling expansion of the cusp anomaly have been derived from\nthe semiclassical ex pansion of the energy of a folded string rotating in the AdS_3 part of the target space.\n Recently\, an integral equation was proposed (BES equatio n) that is believed to govern the cusp anomaly at any value of the\ncouplin g constant.

In leptogenesis scenarios a lepto n asymmetry\nis produced in the out of equilibrium decay of heavy Majorana neutrinos in\nthe early universe\, which is then partially converted into a baryon asymmetry\nby the action of non perturbative processes of the Stand ard Model.\nIn fact\, lepton number and CP are violated not only in the dec ay and inverse\ndecay of the heavy neutrinos\, but also in the scatterings involving\nthese particles. We will show how much CP violation is produced in\nthe scattering processes and discuss the relevance of these sources of\ nCP violation for the generation of a baryon asymmetry through leptogenesis .

In complex systems\, energy levels change to energy l andscapes. Understanding the energy landscape is important because transiti ons in the landscape correspond to motions and reactions. For any complex s ystem\, the exploration of the energy landscape is a formidable problem. Gl asses and proteins are probably the systems where the energy landscapes are beginning to emerge from experimental\, theoretical\, and computational st udies. Recent results show that the energy landscape of even a simple prote in is extremely complex and that the dynamics is controlled not only by the protein proper\, but is strongly influenced by motions in the hydration sh ell and in the bulk solvent. \nJoint Chemistry/Physics colloquium.

Discovered in  1909\, enormous research efforts have been expende d to  nderstand the virus and to prevent the disease. Two excellent vaccine s\, developed in the nineteen fifties\, broke the frightening grip of polio virus on societies and\, indeed\, the World Health Organization is currentl y conducting a campaign to globally eradicate the agent. Nevertheless\, pol iovirus\, one of the best known viruses of all times\, is still being studi ed extensively as model for a large number of RNA viruses. The chemical str ucture of the virus was elucidated by us in 1981\, its three dimensional st ructure by J. Hogle in 1985. Textbook wisdom states that viruses are obliga tory intracellular parasites unable to replicate outside intact cells. In 1 991\, however\, we provided evidence that poliovirus can replicate de novo in a cell free extract. Moreover\, in 2002\, we showed that the only inform ation necessary to generate poliovirus outside living cells is its "formula "\, that is\, the sequence of its genome available in the public domain. Th e chemical/biochemical synthesis of poliovirus based exclusively on informa tion from the internet resulted in a deluge of responses\, ranging from eth ical questions to those of the value of the experiment\, bioterrorism\, pub lication of scientific information\, and  national security. These issues a s well as the synthesis of replicating (living?) entities in general will b e discussed.\n LAST-MODIFIED:19700101T000000Z LOCATION: SEQUENCE:1 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Physics & Astronomy Colloquium - Ekhard Wimmer\, Microbiology "Synt hetic Poliovirus\, Life\, and Fear" Harriman Hall P-137 TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20041109T204500Z DTEND:20041109T221500Z DTSTAMP:20150702T160001Z UID:C638C6A4-36D6-4E23-BB7A-F09AC6B38F69 CREATED:20041029T172332Z DESCRIPTION: LAST-MODIFIED:19700101T000000Z LOCATION: SEQUENCE:1 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Physics & Astronomy Colloquium - Ed Farhi\, MIT "Quantum computatio n" Harriman Hall P-137 TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20041005T201500Z DTEND:20041005T213000Z DTSTAMP:20150702T160001Z UID:E89C4DD3-6316-47CD-B28D-240528C5FA03 CREATED:20041014T143700Z DESCRIPTION: LAST-MODIFIED:19700101T000000Z LOCATION: SEQUENCE:2 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Physics & Astronomy Colloquium - Christopher Homes\, BNL "Universal Scaling in High Temperature Superconductors" Harriman Hall P-137\n TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20041130T204500Z DTEND:20041130T221500Z DTSTAMP:20150702T160001Z UID:FAC48E41-21DE-4D67-AEC3-B623D6836F9F CREATED:20041029T180203Z DESCRIPTION:The challenges and possibilities presented in the study of opti cal and microwave propagation and localization raise new issues whose resol ution clarifies the picture of transport in disordered systems. Measurement s of the electromagnetic field make it possible to relate greatly enhanced fluctuations of local and spatially integrated flux in multiply-scattering samples to the statistics of the underlying wave. Fourier transforming the measured field spectra yields the time evolution of electromagnetic pulses and reveals the growing impact of weak localization in time. The diffusion coefficient is increasingly suppressed in time\, while the degree of intens ity correlation grows rapidly in diffusive and localized samples.  Since th e distribution of wave trajectories within a medium at a given time delay i s not affected by absorption or amplification\, the role of loss or gain in wave propagation can be unscrambled.\n LAST-MODIFIED:19700101T000000Z LOCATION: SEQUENCE:1 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Physics & Astronomy Colloquium - Azi Genak\, Queens College "Photon Localization in the Time Domain" Harriman Hall P-137 TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20040819T180000Z DTEND:20040819T200000Z DTSTAMP:20150702T160001Z UID:396D90E5-C0F3-48AE-923A-FD894027BB3B CREATED:20040817T170247Z DESCRIPTION: LAST-MODIFIED:19700101T000000Z LOCATION: SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Peter van Nieuwenhuizen\, YITP "An Introduction to Conformal Superg ravity" Math Common Room - Math Tower 4th Floor TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20040503T170000Z DTEND:20040503T180000Z DTSTAMP:20150702T160001Z UID:E25A25BE-4790-4E2A-AFB9-474D0FD67AB4 CREATED:20040817T170247Z DESCRIPTION: LAST-MODIFIED:19700101T000000Z LOCATION: SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Peter van Nieuwenhuizen\, YITP "A new anomalous contribution to the central charge and mass of susy monopoles and other solitons" YITP Common Room MT6-125 TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20030507T180000Z DTEND:20030507T190000Z DTSTAMP:20150702T160001Z UID:ABF95D08-BE6F-4D9E-A48C-8A377071B4FE CREATED:20040817T170246Z DESCRIPTION: LAST-MODIFIED:19700101T000000Z LOCATION: SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Peter Langfelder ``Massive Gravitino Propagator in Maximally Symmet ric Spaces and Fermions in dS/CFT" TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20071102T180000Z DTEND:20071102T200000Z DTSTAMP:20150702T160001Z UID:4D0FBCC4-60D9-4C75-B75B-C30DF5F439C8 CREATED:20071026T204733Z DESCRIPTION: LAST-MODIFIED:19700101T000000Z LOCATION: SEQUENCE:4 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Peng Dai will speak on topological sigma-models TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20060823T233000Z DTEND:20060824T020000Z DTSTAMP:20150702T160001Z UID:A1DC1DB0-BFB2-461A-9922-A1E057AE9D11 CREATED:20060822T173100Z DESCRIPTION: LAST-MODIFIED:19700101T000000Z LOCATION: SEQUENCE:2 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Party at Martin's TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20030512T163000Z DTEND:20030512T173000Z DTSTAMP:20150702T160001Z UID:CE7ADE4C-0270-4116-9380-F91FC82BEF72 CREATED:20040817T170246Z DESCRIPTION: LAST-MODIFIED:19700101T000000Z LOCATION: SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:P.

In the SO(10) Grand Unified Theory the flavor mixing parameters are fixed b y the ratios of the fermion masses. I will discuss the success of such a m odel for the quarks and apply the same idea to the leptons. Using the exper imental values for the neutrino mixing angles\, I can calculate the neutrin o masses. The are very small - the mass of the third neutrino is only 0.05 eV.

Principle examples will be 0 and 1 dimensional SU SY QFT\, which leads us to the Witten index that counts the number of boson ic Susy groundstates minus fermionic. We will see that in the operator lang uage of Susy quantum mechanics\, the Hilbert space is related to the space of differential forms on the target manifold\, thus the witten index become s the euler number. Extending to sigma models we we'll ses how Susy invaria nce of the action enforces special property of the targe manifold.\n\nThen we will come to local 1 dimensional Susy. The BRST quantization shows that the cohomology of the system is a spinor for N=1\, vector for N=2 e.t.c. We will attemp to couple to background by extending the BRST charge by minima l coupling\, the requirement of nilpotent of the BRST charge will enforce f ield equations on the background. As a non-trivial example\, we will show t hat N=2 spinnig particle can cosistently couple to background YM fields.\n\ nReferences:\nFor introduction to global 1-d Susy quantum mechanics see\n " Mirror Symmetry" the book chp 9 10.\nFor cohomology of spinning particles s ee R.

We will discuss the dyonic sp ectrum\nthat the SL(2\,Z) duality demands. One monopole moduli space will b e\ndiscussed. The action on the moduli space will be that of\nsupersymmetri c quantum mechanics. This action is quantized by\nobserving the equivalence between the Hilbert space of states and\ndifferential forms on the manifol d.\n Then the moduli space of two well separated monopoles is\ndiscusse d. The metric obtained in this approximation is the Taub-NUT\nmetric. With this motivation\, following Sen's arguments\, we look for\nthe dyonic state s in the exact two monopole moduli space. The exact\nmetric\, obtained by A tiyah and Hitchin\, will be stated without proof.\nUsing the correspondence between forms and supersymmetric Hilbert\nspace\, we will be able to obtai n the exact spectrum of dyons in the\ntwo monopole spectrum as predicted by SL(2\,Z) duality.

Many techniques and ideas have been us ed (electric-magnetic duality\, integrable systems\, mirror symmetry\, bran e engineering\, etc...) to obtain a great wealth of results. An extremely r ich and consistent picture of the strongly coupled regime of super Yang-Mil ls models has emerged.\nRecently\, techniques have been developed that allo w a derivation of all these results from first principles in a completely r igorous way. This understanding sheds and interesting light on many aspects of non-perturbative quantum field theory. It also yields exactly solvable examples of the open/closed string duality\, in which the equivalence betwe en the two points of view can be fully derived.\nThe goal of this set of le ctures will be to present these ideas and results in a pedagogical way\, fo cusing on the simplest models and emphasizing the concepts and some of the physical applications.\nLecture 1 (2 hours): general presentation\; computi ng integrals via localization\; application: the low energy action of N=2 s upersymmetric theories (Seiberg-Witten) from first principles\; \nbrief dis cussion of the physics of the solutions to N=2.\nLecture 2 (2 hours): the m icroscopic approach to N=1 theories\, applications: chiral symmetry breakin g\, mass gap\, space of parameters\; the closed string approach to N=1 theo ries \n(Dijkgraaf-Vafa matrix model).\nLecture 3 (1 hour): the non-perturba tive generalized Konishi anomaly equations\, the equivalence between the mi croscopic and matrix model formalisms.\n\n LAST-MODIFIED:19700101T000000Z LOCATION: SEQUENCE:5 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Frank Ferrari\, who is visiting the YITP for a month\, has voluntee red to give a series\nof pedagogic lectures on the "Microscopic Approach to Super Yang-Mills Theories''. \nFrank's lectures will replace the Friday s eminar for the two upcoming weeks\, starting tomorrow\, usualy time and pla ce (2pm in P112).\nThere will also be an additional lecture next Tuesday (O ct 21) at 1pm.\n\nFrank's lectures are rather closely related to the topics we have been covering this semester in the Friday seminars \n(duality in N =4 and N=2 susy gauge theories).
