Abstract: Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) are galaxy-sized gravitational-wave detectors built from the extraordinarily stable rotation of millisecond pulsars, designed to observe and understand the gravitational-wave universe at nanohertz frequencies...

This year we will hold a *very informal* get-together every Tuesday of people interested in/working on phenomenology and new theories beyond the standard model.  The idea is to discuss over lunch, meet up around 12.20 pm to grab lunch in the dining...

Abstract: The microphysical properties of Dark Matter (DM), such as its mass and coupling strength, are typically assumed to retain their vacuum values when considering DM behaviour at a range of scales. However, DM interactions in different...

Abstract: Based on arXiv 2412.13397 and 2501.14023 , I will discuss aspects of the duality between the two matrix models and 2D string theory at the self-dual radius. This duality doesn't require double scaling in the matrix integral, as opposed to...

Organizers: Igor Klebanov and Silviu Pufu

This workshop will be co-sponsored by the Simons Collaboration on Confinement and QCD Strings.  It will cover a range of topics related to confining gauge theories, such as aspects of lattice gauge theory...
