 Thursday 18 October 2018, 11:00 at LPTHE, bibliothèque du LPTHE, tour 13-14, 4eme étage SEM-DARBOUX (Séminaire Darboux - physique théorique et mathématiques) hep-th Colin Guillarmou ( Université Paris Sud ) Théorie quantique des champs de Liouville en genre superieur à 1 Abstract: On discutera de définir les fonctions de partition et de corrélation pour la théorie des champs de Liouville (dimension 2) sur les surfaces de genre $g\geq 2$. Celà permet de donner un sens mathématique aux théories de Polyakov sur les métriques aléatoires des surfaces (théorie des cordes bosoniques). On étudie en particulier le comportement au bord de l’espace des modules pour la fonction de partition et on montre que, couplée avec des champs de matière et les ghosts, la fonction de partition de Polyakov converge pour la charge centrale c=1. Travail en commun avec R. Rhodes et V. Vargas. (based on 1607.08467 )

 Thursday 18 October 2018, 14:00 at CPHT, Salle de Conférence Louis Michel (Bât. 6) SEM-CPHT (Séminaire du CPHT) hep-th Doron Gepner ( Weizmann Institute ) Three blocks solvable lattice models and Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebra Abstract: Birman-Murakami-Wenzl (BMW) algebra was introduced in connection with knot theory. We treat here interaction round the face solvable (IRF) lattice models. We assume that the face transfer matrix obeys a cubic polynomial equation, which is called the three block case. We prove that the three block theories all obey the BMW algebra. This result is important to the solution of IRF lattice models and the development of new models, as well as to knot theory.

 Thursday 18 October 2018, 14:00 at IPHT, Amphi Claude Bloch, Bât. 774 SOUTEN-TH (Soutenance de thèse) physics Christian Schmidt ( IPhT ) Statistical Physics of Sparse and Dense Models in Optimization and Inference Abstract: Datasets come in a variety of forms and from a broad range of different applications. Typically, the observed data is noisy or in some other way subject to randomness. The recent developments in machine learning have revived the need for exact theoretical limits of probabilistic methods that recover information from noisy data. \par In this thesis we are concerned with the following two questions. \\ What is the asymptotically best achievable performance? \\ And how can this performance be achieved, i.e., what is the optimal algorithmic strategy? \par The above questions can be studied in a probabilistic framework, which leads to an average (i.e. typical) case answer. Such a probabilistic formulation is natural to statistical physics and leads to a formal analogy with problems in disordered systems. In turn, this permits to harvest the methods developed in the study of disordered systems, to attack constraint satisfaction and statistical inference problems. \par I will present four contributions. First, a statistical physics investigation of the circular coloring problem is carried out that reveals several distinct features. Second, new rigorous upper bounds on the size of minimal contagious sets in random graphs, with bounded maximum degree, are obtained. Third, the phase diagram of the dense Dawid-Skene model is derived by mapping the problem onto low-rank matrix factorization. The associated approximate message passing algorithm is evaluated on synthetic and real-world data. Finally, we propose an approach to derive the Bayes optimal denoising mean square error for a restricted class of extensive rank matrix estimation problems.

 Thursday 18 October 2018, 16:00 at LPT, 114 LPT-PTH (Particle Theory Seminar of LPT Orsay) hep-ph Shaaban Khalil ( ZCST Giza ) Explaining the R_K and R_K^* Anomalies With Right-handed Sneutrino Abstract: The recent intriguing measurements of $R_{K}$ and $R_{K^*}$ are important hints of new physics that violates lepton universality. We analyze the semileptonic decays $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ in the framework of the $B-L$ extension of Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with Inverse Seesaw (BLSSMIS). A salient feature of this model is that one of the right-handed sneutrino can be light and the neutrino Yukawa couplings are of order one. We show that the box diagram mediated by right-handed sneutrino, higgsino-like chargino, and light stop can account simultaneously for both $R_{K}$ and $R_{K^*}$. Therefore, while the MSSM cannot explain the $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$ anomalies, the BLSSMIS can account for them, where a significant lepton flavor non-universality might stem from large neutrino Yukawa couplings.

 Friday 19 October 2018, 10:00 at IPHT, Salle Claude Itzykson, Bât. 774 ( https://courses.ipht.cnrs.fr/?q=en/node/220 ) COURS (Cours) astro-ph|gr-qc Thibault Damour ( IHES ) From Classical Gravity to Quantum Amplitudes (3/4) Abstract: The recent observation of gravitational wave signals from inspiralling and coalescing binary black holes has been significantly helped, from the theoretical side, by the availability of analytical results on the motion and gravitational radiation of binary systems. \par The course will deal with the Effective One-Body (EOB) theory of the motion and radiation of binary systems, and explain the links between this formalism and various classical and quantum approaches to gravitationally interacting two-body systems, from traditional post-Newtonian computations of the effective two-body action to quantum gravitational scattering amplitudes. \par The following analytical techniques will be reviewed ab initio: \\ 1 - Matched Asymptotic Expansions approach to the motion of black holes and neutron stars; \\ 2 - post-Newtonian theory of the motion of point particles; \\ 3 - Multipolar post-Minkowskian theory of the gravitational radiation of general sources; \\ 4 - Effective One-Body (EOB) theory of the motion and radiation of binary systems. \par The EOB formalism was initially based on a resummation of post-Newtonian-expanded results. The post-Newtonian approach assumes small gravitational potentials and small velocities, and loses its validity during the last orbits before the merger of black holes. The resummed EOB approach was able to extend the validity of the post-Newtonian description of the motion and radiation of binary black holes to the strong-field, high-velocity regime reached during the last orbits, and the merger. EOB theory initially used a dictionary to translate post-Newtonian-expanded results on (slow-motion) bound states of gravitationally interacting binary systems into the (resummed) Hamiltonian of a particle moving in an effective external gravitational field. \par The second part of the course will present the recent extension of EOB theory to the description of (classical) scattering states within the post-Minkowskian approach which does not assume that velocities are small. This led to new insights in the high-energy limit of gravitational scattering and opened the way to transcribe quantum gravitational scattering amplitudes into their EOB Hamiltonian description. For instance, some two-loop ultra high-energy quantum scattering results of Amati, Ciafaloni and Veneziano could be transcribed into an improved knowledge of the high-energy limit of the classical gravitational interaction of two black holes. This leads also to interesting predictions about a linear-Regge-trajectory behavior of high-angular-momenta, high-energy circular orbits. Attachments: 2018_Damour.pdf (4806309 bytes)

 Friday 19 October 2018, 11:00 at LPTHE, Bibliothèque SEM-LPTHE (Séminaire du LPTHE) cond-mat.stat-mech Stefanos Kourtis ( Boston University ) Quantum-inspired approaches to hard computational problems Abstract: Many classes of complex computational problems admit no efficient solution or even approximation, yet have a vast reach in applications across science and industry. From a physics perspective, computational complexity originates from correlations between bits of information. It is reasonable to ask whether computational approaches to quantum many-body problems can be practically useful in this context. In this talk, I will present newly found cases where the answer is affirmative. I will introduce constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) and reformulate them as interacting models whose ground states represent the solution manifold. A procedure that reaches the ground states of these models implements a protocol of computation. In some protocols, the complexity that arises during computation can be viewed as quantum entanglement, and efficiency is achieved by controlling its growth. Using this reasoning, I will introduce practical methods for solving CSPs based on tensor network contraction and demonstrate that they outperform state-of-the-art solvers for some of these problems by a significant margin. I will conclude with an outline of ongoing work on extensions and applications to problems of current interest, such as the simulation of existing and near-term quantum circuits.

 Friday 19 October 2018, 14:00 at LPTHE, Library LPTHE-PPH (Particle Physics at LPTHE) hep-ph Camila Machado ( Mainz ) Listening for Invisible Axions Abstract: Conventional approaches to probing axions and axion-like particles (ALPs) typically rely on a coupling to photons. If this coupling is extremely weak, ALPs are effectively decoupled from the Standard Model. However, ALPs may also couple to the dark photon of a hidden sector U(1). We show that it is possible to probe such models via chiral gravitational waves sourced by an exponential production of the dark vector shortly after the ALP begins to oscillate.

 Tuesday 23 October 2018, 10:30 at LPTHE, LPTHE library STR-LPT-ENS-HE (Séminaire commun LPTENS/LPTHE) hep-th Lorenz Eberhardt ( ETH Zurich ) Holography on AdS3xS3xS3xS1 and stringy AdS3 spectra Abstract: The purpose of the talk is twofold. I will first report on progress made on the problem of finding a holographic dual of the large N=4 background AdS3xS3xS3xS1. I will discuss the BPS spectrum of the background in detail, both from a string theory and a supergravity point of view. This allows us to make a proposal for the CFT dual, at least for specific values of the fluxes. In a second part of the talk, I will discuss the string theory spectrum on AdS3 backgrounds away from the pure NS-NS flux point, where a WZW description of the worldsheet theory exists. The theory with R-R flux can be described in the hybrid formalism by a sigma-model on a supergroup coupled to ghosts. I will explain how to solve this sigma-model in the plane-wave limit and reproduce the plane-wave spectrum from the hybrid formalism.

In this talk, I will discuss a framework to perform the computation of the quenched complexity of stationary points, making use of a replicated version of the Kac-Rice formula. I will discuss its application to simple models (the spiked tensor model and its generalizations) which capture the competition between a deterministic signal and stochastic noise, and correspond to a spherical p-spin Hamiltonian endowed with ferromagnetic multi-body interaction terms. I will describe the phase transitions that occur in the structure of the landscape when changing the signal-to-noise ratio, and highlight the implications for the evolution of local dynamics within the landscape.

 Tuesday 23 October 2018, 11:30 at LPTHE, LPTHE library STR-LPT-ENS-HE (Séminaire commun LPTENS/LPTHE) hep-th Marco Fazzi ( Technion ) Chiral SU(3) SQCD3 and N=2 mirror symmetry Abstract: Recently a very interesting three-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric theory with SU(3) global symmetry was discussed by several authors. The latter was conjectured to have two dual descriptions, one with explicit supersymmetry and emergent flavor symmetry and the other with explicit flavor symmetry and emergent supersymmetry. We discuss a third description of the model which has both flavor symmetry and supersymmetry manifest. We then investigate models which can be constructed by using this theory as a building block gauging the global symmetry and paying special attention to the global structure of the gauge group. We conjecture several cases of N=2 mirror dualities involving such constructions with the dual being either a simple N=2 Wess-Zumino model or a discrete gauging thereof.

 Tuesday 23 October 2018, 14:00 at APC, 646 A - Mondrian APC-TH (Seminar of the theory group of APC) hep-th Robert Hardwick ( Portsmouth University ) Bayesian measurements of inflation with additional fields Abstract: In this talk I will demonstrate how, by introducing additional scalar degrees of freedom, one can measure properties of the inflationary era which may be otherwise inaccessible. Using two explicit examples (the curvaton and a feebly interacting model of dark matter), which introduce new informative priors into the post- inflationary phenomenology, we are able to constrain either the total duration that inflation takes place or its energy scale independently of the tensor-to-scalar ratio. Measurements of this kind may prove crucial in advancing the study of inflation if the future observational data were to yield a limited amount of new information.

 Tuesday 23 October 2018, 16:30 at UPMC, Amphi 24 - Campus Pierre et Marie Curie CPMC (Colloquium Pierre et Marie Curie) nlin Brad Murray ( Duke University ) Coastline pattern formation, responses to climate change and couplings with human dynamics Abstract: Water waves involve fluxes of momentum and energy that transport sediment along the shore. The flux toward shore of alongshore momentum depends on coastline orientation (relative to the wave propagation direction). Spatial variations in coastline orientation, therefore, are associated with gradients in alongshore sediment flux. Divergences in alongshore sediment flux cause coastline erosion, and convergences cause accretion. i.e., coastline shape determines the pattern of sediment fluxes that in turn change coastline shape. This ‘morphodynamic’ feedback can produce instabilities leading to the growth of large-scale coastline features. In numerical experiments, finiteamplitude interactions then lead to a variety of coastline shapes, which are functions of wave climate (angular distribution). Changes in wave climate arising from changes in storm climate tend to reshape coastlines. In a case study, hindcasts of associated changes in shoreline erosion patterns are consistent with historical observations, opening up the possibility to forecast future coastal erosion ‘hot spots.’ However, on developed coastlines, couplings between human dynamics and coastline dynamics must be considered.

 Thursday 25 October 2018, 14:00 at LPTM, 4.13 St Martin II SEM-LPTM-UCP (Seminaires du LPTM , Universite de Cergy Pontoise) math-ph Cécilia Lancien ( Institut de Mathématiques de Toulouse ) High-dimensional entanglement in quantum states with positive partial transpose Abstract: Genuine high-dimensional entanglement, i.e. the property of having a high Schmidt number, constitutes a resource in quantum processing protocols. On the contrary, states with a positive partial transpose (PPT) are generally considered weakly entangled, as they cannot be distilled into pure entangled states. This naturally raises the question whether high Schmidt numbers are possible for PPT states. This will be the main topic of the talk. I will begin with exhibiting an explicit construction of PPT state that achieves optimal Schmidt number scaling (in the dimension of the subsystems). I will then explain that, in fact, random PPT states typically share this feature. Finally I will study the somewhat opposite problem and show that the PPT property also imposes limitations on the Schmidt number. The talk will be based on arXiv:1802.04975.

I will extend the recently developed generalised hydrodynamic (GHD) to include terms of Navier-Stokes type which lead to positive entropy production and diffusive relaxation mechanisms. These terms provide the subleading diffusive corrections to Euler-scale GHD for the large-scale non-equilibrium dynamics of integrable systems, and arise due to two-body scatterings among the quasiparticles of the model. Moreover I will show how with some particular choice of Hamiltonian interactions, the diffusion constant relative to the spin or charge degrees of freedom diverges, signaling the presence of super diffusive transport.

 Monday 12 November 2018, 11:00 at IPHT, Salle Claude Itzykson, Bât. 774 IPHT-PHM (Séminaire de physique mathématique) math-ph Paola Ruggiero Conformal field theory on top of a breathing Tonks-Girardeau gas Abstract: CFT has been extremely successful in describing universal effects in critical one-dimensional (1D) systems, in situations in which the bulk is uniform. However, in many experimental contexts, such as quantum gases in trapping potentials and in several out-of-equilibrium situations, systems are strongly inhomogeneous. Recently it was shown that the CFT methods can be extended to deal with such 1D situations: the systemâ€™s inhomogeneity gets reabsorbed in the parameters of the theory, such as the metric, resulting in a CFT in curved space. Here in particular we make use of CFT in curved spacetime to deal with the out-of-equilibrium situation generated by a frequency quench in a Tonks-Girardeau gas in a harmonic trap. We show compatibility with known exact result and use this new method to compute new quantities, not explicitly known by means of other methods, such as the dynamical fermionic propagator and the one particle density matrix at different times.

It gives a unified way to understand Artin conductors of characters and irregularities of line bundle with integrable connections as well as overconvergent F-isocrystals of rank 1. It also gives rise to new conductors, for example, for G-torsors with G a finite flat group scheme, which specializes to the classical Artin conductor in case G = Z/nZ. We also give a motivic proof of a theorem of Kato and Matsuda on the determination of Artin conductors along divisors on smooth schemes by its restrictions to curves. Its proof is based on a motivic version of a theorem of Gabber-Katz. This is a joint work with Kay Rülling.

 Wednesday 14 November 2018, 11:30 at IPN, Bâtiment 100, Salle A015 (  ) IPN-THEO (Séminaire du groupe de physique théorique de l'IPN Orsay) nucl-th M.i. Krivoruchenko ( ITEP, Moscow ) Status and perspectives in neutrinoless double electron capture. Abstract: The neutrinoless mode of double beta decay processes can shed light on the type of neutrino and on the conservation of the total lepton charge. Double electron capture (2EC) can give the same information about neutrino proper- ties as double beta decay. The attempts of experimental observation of neu- trinoless 2EC by detection of subsequent radiation of daughter nuclei are re- viewed. To establish the resonance character of neutrinoless 2EC, knowledge of Q values and excitation energies of the atomic shell of daughter nuclei with two vacancies are required. The development of the Penning trap mass spec- trometry made it possible to determine the mass differences of 14 promising nuclide pairs, connected via 2EC, with unprecedented low uncertainties. The energy of excited shells of atoms is determined from empirical data of Auger spectroscopy and/or by computer programs of quantum chemistry. A review of calculations of nuclear matrix elements for 2EC is given. Prospects for fur- ther theoretical and experimental studies of neutrinoless 2EC are discussed.
