In complex systems\, energy levels change to energy landscapes. Understanding the energy landscape is important b ecause transitions in the landscape correspond to motions and reactions. For any complex system\, the exploration of the energy landscape is a f ormidable problem. Glasses and proteins are probably the systems where t he energy landscapes are beginning to emerge from experimental\, theoret ical\, and computational studies. Recent results show that the energy la ndscape of even a simple protein is extremely complex and that the dynam ics is controlled not only by the protein proper\, but is strongly influ enced by motions in the hydration shell and in the bulk solvent. \nJoint Chemistry/Physics colloquium.

Our predictions for the one-electron spectral-func tion agree quantitatively for the whole momentum and energy bandwidth wi th the peak dispersions observed by angle-resolved photoelectron spectro scopy in the quasi-1D organic conductor TTF-TCNQ \\cite{spectral}. Moreo ver\, we study the phase diagram observed for the $rm{(TMTTF)_2X}$ and $ rm{(TMTSF)_2X}$ series of organic compounds by means of a system of weak ly coupled Hubbard chains. This study relies on combining the PDT for th e spectral functions of the uncoupled chain system with a renormalizatio n group analysis for the coupled chains. At finite energies or temperatu res larger than the inter-chain transfer integral the system is best des cribed in terms of decoupled chains. Thus\, the frequency dependence of the real part of the optical conductivity of the non-Fermi-liquid metall ic phase is studied by use of the 1D Hubbard model \\cite{optical}.

This problem is of great importance\n for finding viable implementatio ns of the adiabatic quantum\n computation. It also arises in the condens ed matter physics\n in the context of ground state engineering. In my ta lk I show how to\n map a given n-spin target Hamiltonian with\n bounded- strength k-spin interactions onto a simulator Hamiltonian with\n two-spi n 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 epsil on) for arbitrary small epsilon.\n The strength of interactions in the s imulator Hamiltonian is bounded\n by a constant inpependent of the syste m\n size n. This reduction is accomplished using a new way of deriving an\n effective low-energy Hamiltonian\n which relies on the Schrieffer-W olff transformation of many-body physics.

We show that these effective superpotentials\, despite being singular\, are perfectly sensible\, i.e. they correctly describe the moduli space of vacua\, are consistent under RG flow to fewer flavors upon turning on masses\, and also (in the case of SU(2) gauge group) reproduce by a tre e-level calculation all the higher-derivative F-terms recently calculate d by Beasley and Witten by instanton methods.

In the s econd and third lectures we will discuss the correspondence between thes e two theories proposed by Maldacena\, and consider mathching of various quantities\, including the prescription for computing N=4 correlation f unctions using supergravity (we will only briefly consider $\\alpha '$ c orrections).

With this goal in mind\, we study non-conformal gauge theories on D3-bra nes probing singularities that are constructed by the addition of fracti onal branes. The RG flows associated to these theories can be interprete d as duality cascades. We find evidence that such flows are often chaoti c\, show self-similar fractal features and exhibit exotic features such a duality walls. We explore the validity of the a-theorem conjecture in this context. Finally\, we develop a general supergravity construction w hich we use to construct gravity duals for del Pezzo surfaces that match our field theory beta functions.

Discovered in  1909\, enormous research efforts have been expended to  nderstand the virus and to prevent the disease. Two ex cellent vaccines\, developed in the nineteen fifties\, broke the frighte ning grip of poliovirus on societies and\, indeed\, the World Health Org anization is currently conducting a campaign to globally eradicate the a gent. Nevertheless\, poliovirus\, one of the best known viruses of all t imes\, is still being studied extensively as model for a large number of RNA viruses. The chemical structure of the virus was elucidated by us i n 1981\, its three dimensional structure by J. Hogle in 1985. Textbook w isdom states that viruses are obligatory intracellular parasites unable to replicate outside intact cells. In 1991\, however\, we provided evide nce that poliovirus can replicate de novo in a cell free extract. Moreov er\, in 2002\, we showed that the only information necessary to generate poliovirus outside living cells is its \"formula\"\, that is\, the sequ ence of its genome available in the public domain. The chemical/biochemi cal synthesis of poliovirus based exclusively on information from the in ternet resulted in a deluge of responses\, ranging from ethical question s to those of the value of the experiment\, bioterrorism\, publication o f scientific information\, and  national security. These issues as well as the synthesis of replicating (living?) entities in general will be di scussed.\n UID:A00E7412-DC7D-4721-A473-296AD1A88474 TRANSP:OPAQUE DTSTART;TZID=US/Eastern:20041207T161500 DTSTAMP:20041203T172658Z SUMMARY:Physics & Astronomy Colloquium - Ekhard Wimmer\, Microbiology \" Synthetic Poliovirus\, Life\, and Fear\" Harriman Hall P-137 CREATED:20080702T201156Z DTEND;TZID=US/Eastern:20041207T173000 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:OPAQUE UID:E25A25BE-4790-4E2A-AFB9-474D0FD67AB4 DTSTART;TZID=US/Eastern:20040503T130000 DTSTAMP:20040817T170247Z 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 CREATED:20080702T201159Z DTEND;TZID=US/Eastern:20040503T140000 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:OPAQUE UID:E2893A76-D004-418D-AFE5-029DE4E072E7 DTSTART;TZID=US/Eastern:20040818T100000 DTSTAMP:20040817T170247Z SUMMARY:Chris Beasley\, Princeton U. \"New Instanton Effects in Supersym metric QCD\" Math Common Room - Math Tower 4th Floor CREATED:20080702T201159Z DTEND;TZID=US/Eastern:20040818T120000 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:OPAQUE UID:6C8162CC-A67A-4B05-83B1-932742135CA4 DTSTART;TZID=US/Eastern:20030825T140000 DTSTAMP:20040817T170246Z SUMMARY:Koenraad Schalm \"Orientifolds and Geometry\" YITP Common Rm.

At tree-level\, new recursion relations fora mplitudes of gluons give rise to the most compact formulas known up to n ow. At one-loop\, any amplitude of gluons in N=4 super-Yang-Mills can be written as a linear combination of known scalar box integrals with coef ficients that are rational functions. Using a generalization of unitarit y cuts\, in particular quadruple cuts\, any coefficient can be easily wr itten as the product of four tree-level amplitudes. Therefore\, this new technique solves the problem of computing one-loop amplitudes in N=4 su per-Yang-Mills.

Me asurements of the electromagnetic field make it possible to relate great ly enhanced fluctuations of local and spatially integrated flux in multi ply-scattering samples to the statistics of the underlying wave. Fourier transforming the measured field spectra yields the time evolution of el ectromagnetic pulses and reveals the growing impact of weak localization in time. The diffusion coefficient is increasingly suppressed in time\, while the degree of intensity correlation grows rapidly in diffusive an d localized samples.  Since the distribution of wave trajectories within a medium at a given time delay is not affected by absorption or amplifi cation\, the role of loss or gain in wave propagation can be unscrambled .\n UID:FAC48E41-21DE-4D67-AEC3-B623D6836F9F TRANSP:OPAQUE DTSTART;TZID=US/Eastern:20041130T154500 DTSTAMP:20041029T180203Z SUMMARY:Physics & Astronomy Colloquium - Azi Genak\, Queens College \"Ph oton Localization in the Time Domain\" Harriman Hall P-137 CREATED:20080702T201159Z DTEND;TZID=US/Eastern:20041130T171500 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SEQUENCE:4 TRANSP:OPAQUE UID:326C9DB9-D91E-48AD-B14B-10E27E9484D6 DTSTART;TZID=US/Eastern:20070329T143000 DTSTAMP:20070329T140104Z SUMMARY:YITP Seminar - Radu Roiban\, PSU \"On world-sheet scattering for strings in AdS_5 x S^5\" YITP Common Room MT6-125\n CREATED:20080702T201143Z DTEND;TZID=US/Eastern:20070329T153000 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SEQUENCE:8 TRANSP:OPAQUE UID:6D2E16A3-B633-4EA3-96F8-359D02F2140F DTSTART;TZID=US/Eastern:20050812T100000 DTSTAMP:20050816T183743Z SUMMARY:Juan Maldacena (IAS) \"1/2 BPS states and Gravity\" Math Common Room MT4-125 CREATED:20080702T201149Z DTEND;TZID=US/Eastern:20050812T120000 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SEQUENCE:4 TRANSP:OPAQUE UID:1A3816E7-B9AF-4A31-A1A8-0E12532C3F68 DTSTART;TZID=US/Eastern:20070411T140000 DTSTAMP:20070405T141316Z SUMMARY:Joint HET/RIKEN/YITP Seminar - James Wells\, University of Michi gan \"Split or Splat Supersymmetry at the LHC\" BNL Small Seminar Room\, Bldg. 510 CREATED:20080702T201136Z DTEND;TZID=US/Eastern:20070411T150000 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:OPAQUE UID:337D1953-5A2E-4FCB-8C23-41BA13172983 DTSTART;TZID=US/Eastern:20040602T140000 DTSTAMP:20040817T170247Z SUMMARY:Rainald Flume\, Bonn \"UV and IR aspects of instanton calculatio ns\" YITP Common Room MT6-125 CREATED:20080702T201143Z DTEND;TZID=US/Eastern:20040602T150000 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SEQUENCE:6 TRANSP:OPAQUE UID:C200DBD4-C0F4-4B55-BD03-7084BDDF3861 DTSTART;TZID=US/Eastern:20050812T160000 DTSTAMP:20050816T183800Z SUMMARY:Physics Department keg CREATED:20080702T201157Z DTEND;TZID=US/Eastern:20050812T170000 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:OPAQUE UID:68081867-F5A4-431F-A9C0-C0B878A76B3B DTSTART;TZID=US/Eastern:20040727T100000 DTSTAMP:20040817T170247Z SUMMARY:U.

Pr eviously\, only the extreme small and large mass limits were known for t his quantity. Our result interpolates smoothly between these previously known limits. The computational method makes use of the fact that the si ngle instanton background has radial symmetry\, so that the computation can be reduced to a sum over partial waves of logarithms of radial deter minants\, each of which can be computed numerically in an efficient mann er. The bare sum over partial waves is divergent and must be regulated a nd renormalized. The method is general and versatile\, and can be applie
