High Energy Theory Seminar

Short-Range Entangled Phases and Topology
Anton Kapustin
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall
Recently a new and rather unexpected connection between condensed matter physics and algebraic topology has been noted. Namely, it appears that phases of matter with an energy gap, no long-range entanglement, and fixed symmetry can be classified...

Indirect Detection of Wino Dark Matter: Multichannel Detection Study
Ilias Cholis
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall

TeV scale Wino, provides a possible Dark Matter candidate in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Such a dark matter candidate evades all current direct detection and collider bounds and can only be probed through its...

Lattice N=4 Super-Yang-Mills
Joel Giedt
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall

I will review a lattice gauge theory construction of N=4 super-Yang-Mills that has been developed over the last several years. It starts from a "twist" of the original N=4 theory which was explicitly written out by Marcus. This twisted theory is re...
