The quartic coupling of the Standard Model Higgs nearly vanishes at a high energy scale. We show that this is explained by the parity symmetry and its spontaneous break down by the condensation of the parity partner of the Higgs. The parity can...

I will discuss an approach to integrable models from a four-dimensional Chern-Simons-type gauge theory. For introduction please have a look at E. Witten arXiv:1611.00592 or K. Costello arXiv:1308.0370. It might be interesting to look into some...

Tensor networks describe high-dimensional tensors as the contraction of a network (or graph) of low-dimensional tensors. Many interesting tensor can be succinctly represented in this fashion -- from many-body ground states in quantum physics to the...

We study ’’t Hooft anomalies of 1-form and 0-form symmetries in SU(N) gauge theories with adjoint fermions, focusing on the rich worldvolume physics of domain walls mandated by anomaly inflow. In two semiclassical regimes—one of the high-T theory...

I’ll talk about the size-momentum correspondence and use it to study scrambling in a near-extremal charged black hole. It’s based on the paper arXiv:1804.04156v4.

I will introduce the notion of the Swampland, first defined in 0509212/hep-th. I will then discuss a number of Swampland Conjectures, including "No Global Symmetries" (1011.5120/hep-th, 1810.05337/hep-th), the "Weak Gravity Conjecture" (0601001/hep...
