Compact mass-spring models can measure remarkably small deformations while conserving angular momentum. We use them within an N-body code to simulate tidal evolution of viscoelastic spinning objects, tying simulated rheology to spin dynamics...

I will present a recent numerical study on the generation and the amplification of magnetic fields in the Universe. Through cosmological simulations of galaxy formation, we have studied the Biermann battery process that drives microscopic current...

 I will discuss a large-N bosonic quantum mechanical sigma-model with a spherical target space subject to disordered interactions, more colloquially known as the p-spin spherical model. Replica symmetry is broken at low temperatures and for...

Based on https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.01373. We study a model for explaining the apparent deviation of the muon anomalous magnetic moment, (g-2), from the Standard Model expectation. There are no new scalars and hence no new hierarchy puzzles beyond...

 Quantum many-body systems are very hard to simulate, since computational resources (time and memory) typically grow exponentially with the system size. However, quantum computers or analog quantum simulators may perform that task in a much more...

This is joint work with Clément Dupont. Motivated by double-copy  (Kawai-Lewellen-Tye) formulae relating open and closed superstring amplitudes at tree-level, I will explain a general double-copy formula for period integrals on algebraic varieties...

Powerful extragalactic radio sources hosted in galaxies come in all shapes, sizes, powers, and presumably ages.  What might a young or nascent powerful radio source look like?  The class of compact powerful extragalactic radio sources are defined to...

A new class of phase transitions has been recently studied in quantum many-body systems that are subject to measurements but not otherwise open to any external decoherence.  This phase transition arises from a competition between scrambling dynamics...

Lightray operators have played an important role in numerous recent developments in conformal field theory. These operators, and their associated operator product expansion (OPE), also play a central role in collider experiments, where they govern...
