Past HET and HEE Seminars



High Energy Theory Seminar: The complex Liouville string

Victor Rodriguez (UCSB)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

I will introduce the complex Liouville string, a solvable critical worldsheet string theory defined by coupling two Liouville theories with complex conjugate central charges c = 13 ± is. By harnessing the non-…



High Energy Theory Seminar: Gravitational atoms and black hole binaries

G.M. Tomaselli (IAS at Princeton University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

Superradiant instabilities may create clouds of ultralight bosons around rotating black holes, forming so-called "gravitational atoms". In this talk, I will review a series of papers that study the effects of a…



High Energy Theory Seminar: Candidate de Sitter Vacua

Liam McAllister (Cornell)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

I will present Calabi-Yau orientifold flux compactifications of type IIB string theory that yield, at leading order in the string loop and sigma model expansions, de Sitter vacua of the form envisioned by Kachru,…



High Energy Theory Seminar: Apparent Fine Tunings for Field Theories with Broken Space-Time Symmetries

Alberto Nicolis (Columbia University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

I will exhibit a class of effective field theories that have hierarchically small Wilson coefficients for operators that are not protected by symmetries but are not finely tuned. These theories possess bounded target…



High Energy Theory Seminar: Causality constraints on EFTs

Sera Cremonini (Leigh University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

I will discuss how causality can be used to place bounds on higher derivative corrections to Einstein Maxwell theory. Scattering probe photons off of charged shock waves, we obtain new constraints on the Wilson…
