Particle Physicists study matter at its smallest and most fundamental scale. The well-known proton, neutron and similar particles are composed of quarks. Atoms also contain electrons; together with the two heavier versions of the electron (the muon and tau), each with its associated neutrino, they make up the group of leptons. Another ingredient of the catalogue of particles is the Higgs Boson, discovered at the CERN Lab's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012. Experiments studying these and other particles require large accelerators and detectors: the circumference of the LHC is 27 km and one of the detectors to study the collisions is 25 meters high and 45 meters long. Building and running these machines is expensive, in terms of money and human effort. It is therefore important to use the best statistical techniques to extract the maximum amount of information from the hard-won data. This workshop brings together Statisticians and experimental Particle Physicists to discuss how best to achieve this.

EuroStrings 2023 is part of a cycle of yearly conferences gathering researchers from all over Europe and elsewhere, working in the areas of quantum field theory, string theory, quantum gravity and related topics. We hope that this conference will be an opportunity for having exciting scientific discussions and fostering new collaborations. Everybody interested in participating in the workshop is happily invited to register and participate.

2023 marks ten years since the introduction of the Amplituhedron as a new mathematical object underpinning the physics of scattering amplitudes. While the past decade has seen many developments both in further understanding the mathematics and physics of the amplituhedron and generalizing it to wider classes of theories, it has become increasingly clear that we are only scratching the surface of this still largely mysterious set of ideas. In order to stimulate new lines of attack on these questions, DIAS and IAS in partnership will host a series of two meetings on "Hidden Mathematical Structures of the Amplituhedron." The first meeting will take place at DIAS during April 24-28, 2023.

There is no registration fee, and we encourage everyone interested to actively participate in discussion / brainstorming sessions, propose questions and new directions.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together scientists with different backgrounds and expertise to discuss open problems, recent developments and future directions in axion physics, a field that is notoriously replete with interdisciplinary connections. The aim is to foster a fruitful cross breeding between different theoretical areas, with a focus on certain open issues in axion particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. Quantitative assessments of the axion contribution to Cold Dark Matter (CDM) involve top-notch lattice simulations of non- perturbative QCD effects, as well as of the cosmic evolution of axionic topological defects. Astrophysical observations provide strong bounds on axion properties because stellar evolution would be affected by the existence of axions and, intriguingly, some excesses in star energy losses have been reported. Cosmological scenarios in which the PQ symmetry is broken before inflation foresee axions imprints in the CMB, while in post-inflationary scenarios axion miniclusters, with overdensities several orders of magnitude larger than the local density of CDM, are expected to form, and a reliable assessment of their properties is of utmost importance. From the experimental side, a blossoming of potentially game-changing ideas, with an exciting crossover from experimental particle physics to materials science and cutting-edge technologies is inspiring new methods for axion searches. Novel techniques have been put forth that, besides exploiting the axion- photon coupling, aim to reveal axions via their couplings to nucleons and electrons. The interaction between the experimental and theoretical communities will foster the merging of `how to search’ with `where to search’ into optimized strategies to hunt for the axion.

A major goal in strong-interaction physics is to understand the nature of hadrons, which make up visible matter, and much research activity revolves around two fundamental questions: what are hadrons made up of and how does Quantum Chromo-dynamics (QCD), the strong-interaction component of the Standard Model, produce them? Although these questions are simple, the answers may not be. To address these questions, spectroscopy is a valuable and time-honored tool, as it enables us to understand the structure of mesons, baryons and exotics and how they are produced. In this context, the recent discovery of many new hadronic states, in particular the plethora of observed X, Y, Z states, is exciting, as these objects challenge the commonplace view of hadrons as either quark-antiquark or three-quark color-singlet states.

One could say that the universe is both very simple and very complicated. It is very simple in the sense that we know of basic fundamental laws and principles that rule its behaviour, from particles to the cosmos as a whole, in an incredible amount of detail. Mass, for instance, one of the key concepts in physics, arises from the so-called Higgs mechanism of breaking the symmetry of a field that becomes nonzero due to its Mexican hat potential. Yet it is complicated because as consequences of such physical laws we are faced with mysteries such as most of the universe consisting of dark matter and dark energy, which are there in the theory to account for what we see, but that is not in plain sight when we look up in the sky. In this final talk of the Wolverhampton lecture series, Professor Nikolopoulos, one of the physicists who discovered the Higgs boson, will discuss the origin of mass in the universe and what we currently know about dark matter.

Black holes are playing an ever increasing role in fundamental physics, from information theory to quantum gravity and holography. They are now under active investigation in many important branches of observational, theoretical and mathematical physics. In particular, they have stimulated important advances in the computation of entanglement entropies in large N conformal field theory and in various aspects of gauge theory/gravity duality. This workshop gathers researchers working on mathematical problems related to the holographic description of black holes, in its quantum aspects. The workshop will stimulate progress at this cutting edge of theoretical high energy physics.

We are pleased to announce the second Michigan Cosmology Summer School from June 5-9, 2023 at the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor, MI. The target participants are graduate students and junior postdocs. Additional details are in the Summer School website: https://johannesulf.github.io/cosmology-school-2023/, including a preliminary list of lecturers. While we expect the majority of participants to be in-person, we will provide a hybrid setup, opening lectures and interaction spaces to online participants. This should significantly broaden the accessibility of the School to junior scientists based in countries from which it is expensive and difficult to travel to the U.S. The school will cover topics across the field of cosmology ranging from theory to experiment, but the emphasis will be on computation and the interface between data and theory. An overarching goal of the school will be to provide participants with concrete practical skills for data modeling. The focus will be on the theoretical underpinnings of inflation, dark matter, and dark energy using modern measurements, principally those coming from the LSS and CMB. The registration opens late January. The Leinweber Center for Theoretical Physics will heavily subsidize registration costs to minimize barriers for attendees. The weather in Michigan that time of the year should be very nice, with long sunny days. We are planning to organize some outdoor activities as well.

The AdS/CFT correspondence, first proposed by Juan Maldacena in 1997, relates purely field theoretic models (in the absence of gravity) with a gravitational theory (usually embedded in string theory) in a higher dimension, the correspondence being holographic in nature. Since it is a duality, such that a perturbative model on one side corresponds to a nonperturbative one on the other, it has been applied to understand a multitude of interesting nonperturbative problems, in various areas of theoretical physics.

The Holography@25 will take place at the ICTP-SAIFR in São Paulo, Brazil, and there will be a School (June 5-13, 2023) and a Workshop (June 14-17, 2023). Candidates may apply either for one or both activities.

Domains such as cosmology, astrophysics, nuclear or particle physics rely heavily on the use of stochastic simulation to design data analyses and perform inference with respect to fundamental physics theories. With the advances of Deep Learning, Bayesian inference techniques, a new frontier has come into view that focuses on the extension of traditional scientific programming along the two distinct directions of differentiable programming and probabilistic programming. The former plays an important role in navigating high-dimensional spaces, while the latter can manifestly incorporate generative modeling and inference into scientific data analyses. Both promise to expand the science reach of data-intensive domains through, e.g., the integration of domain knowledge and symmetries into neural networks, algorithmic robustness, alignment of science and training optimization goals, uncertainty quantification, causal inference, and more complete inference. However, most production scientific pipelines are not yet compatible with these techniques and their widespread adoption would represent a deep change in the scientific software landscape. This program will provide the opportunity for researchers from Computer Science and Fundamental Physics to develop applications as well as strategies for integrating these paradigms into existing scientific workflows and to close the gap of what is theoretically possible and practically deployed.

This workshop will be co-organized by two main institutions, namely the University of Naples Federico II and the University of Durham.

This workshop aims to discuss the phenomenological implications of Primordial Black Holes (PBH), such as their possible relationship with dark matter origin, neutrino mass, the baryon asymmetry, inflation, their theoretical aspects and origin and the possible multi-messenger detection and the experimental state-of-the-art. Recently, the interest in PBHs from the physics community is growing because they can provide an alternative explanation of some of the major problems of the Standard Model. We know that Black Holes can merge or evaporate (according to the seminal paper by Hawking), generating gravitational waves, fluxes of Dark Matter, and standard model particles. Therefore, different experimental indirect searches can possible exploit the multi-messenger approach.

Hausdorff Center for Mathematics – hcm (Universität Bonn)

TQFTs (Topological quantum field theories) are of central importance in several areas of mathematics and physics. From a mathematical point of view (going back to Atiyah), a TQFT is a symmetric monoidal functor from the cobordism category to some symmetric monoidal category. It can thus be seen as a representation of a fundamental geometric category on a target category and thereby organizes interesting algebraic structures, e.g. representations of mapping class groups, in terms of cobordism categories. In recent years, TQFTs have appeared in many more mathematical areas such as algebraic topology (the study of 4-manifolds) or algebraic geometry (the study of moduli spaces). In this Hausdorff school we would like to explore various facets of TQFTs related to representation theory and mathematical physics. The interplay of representation theory and TQFT is, at least, two-fold: on the one hand side, representation theory provides input data to construct TQFTs. The most famous example is given by the quantum groups Uq(sl(2)) from which a modular tensor category and thus a Chern-Simons type TQFT can be constructed. On the other hand, TQFTs explain and organize structures appearing in representation categories, for example character varieties and their quantizations.

General relativity is one of the cornerstones of modern experimental and theoretical physics, it successfully described and predicted an immense variety of gravitational phenomena over the past hundred years. In particular, the status of the theory has been upgraded to higher levels with the recent observations of gravitational waves in the process of merging of black holes and neutron stars, as well as the first image of the supermassive black hole at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy. In spite of the incredible progress of string theory and holography, quantum aspects of gravity still remain as significant challenges. To investigate the deeper structure of gravity, extensions of General Relativity with enhanced spacetime symmetry motivated by string theory in various regimes are natural candidates to explore, providing fruitful arenas where one can test our understanding of spacetime. It will be highly important to study whether the new gravitational theory can make new predictions compared to General Relativity, and whether it fits well with astrophysical experimental data. Two new gravity theories motivated by string theory and supergravity have the virtue of being extremely constrained by their gauge symmetries, allowing to study their structures and predictions in a very systematic way, that is, in a top-down manner, beyond phenomenological model buildings. These two active research topics are higher spin gravity and double field theory.

The past decade have seen important progress by mathematicians and physicists alike on a class of geometric objects called symplectic singularities. On the math side, they lie at the crossroad between algebraic geometry and representation theory, while from the physical perspective they arise as moduli space for supersymmetric quantum field theories. As such, they can be studied using tools from string theories and branes. The first week will be a summer school, the second week will be a workshop. Participants can attend the first week, the second week, or both.

Much of the recent work and progress in CFTs has been at zero temperature and it is highly desirable to extend this to finite temperature/finite size systems. This is not only dictated by the obvious relevance of finite temperature systems to the real world, but also by important theoretical questions. This includes fundamental issues regarding the thermalisation process of quantum systems, the holographic description of black holes in terms of finite temperature CFTs, and the intriguing relationship between thermal CFT partition functions and modular functions. Although disparate at first sight, these areas are converging to a common theme involving the study of thermal CFT correlation functions.

Numerous interesting connections between these research areas are developing, promising to shed light on important open questions.

The International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory is an annual conference that attracts scientists from around the world. Originally started as a place for physicists to discuss their recent developments in lattice gauge theory, nowadays the conference is the largest of its type and has grown to include areas like particle physics phenomenology, nuclear theory, chiral symmetry, strongly interacting phenomena in many contexts. algorithms and machine architectures, and code development.

Nordita, Stockholm

QFT techniques are routinely applied to systems with boundaries and defects, often with remarkable success. However, in systems with strong interactions many of the important questions remain intractable. Luckily, the rapid development of novel approaches to strongly-interacting QFTs opens a new avenue to study boundaries, defects and impurities. Prominent examples include the Anti-de-Sitter/Conformal Field Theory correspondence and holographic duality, integrability, the conformal bootstrap, non-perturbative supersymmetry methods, the use of entanglement entropy and other quantum information measures, anomalies and higher-form symmetries, hydrodynamics of QFTs, and more.

This conference will focus on the interplay between the most recent theoretical developments in the context of QFT, the impact that these can have in guiding and interpreting the result of experimental searches, and the reshaping of the relevant questions that physics BSM must answer.

Contrary to other conferences and workshops, that tend to focus either on the most theoretical aspects of QFT or on the most practical ones of physics BSM, this conference will aim at studying phenomenologically relevant questions with a more theoretical perspective.

This is the 4rd iteration of the EXCESS workshop. The workshop was initiated in 2021 to discuss sharply rising low energy event rates observed by various rare event search experiments.

From a modern point of view, quantum field theory associates to every symmetry a topological defect, which acts on local and extended observables. This understanding has recently led to the discovery of new higher notions of symmetry, which in turn has shed new light on some of the most mysterious and profound phenomena described by quantum field theory, including color confinement in non-abelian gauge theories and duality. The deep link between symmetry and topology finds its natural expression in the mathematics of topological quantum field theory, such as the modular tensor categories that describe invariants of knots and the long-distance physics of anyons. Recent advances have centered on the rich categorical structure of various defects and how it encodes the fundamental idea of locality, as expressed by the cobordism hypothesis.

In order to maximize the impact of using quantum technology to probe fundamental interactions it is critical that each community improves its knowledge of the other discipline. We plan to bring in world experts in quantum technologies and particle physics in order to discuss how the recent progress in the precision front of quantum sensors could be used to search for new physics and study fundamental interactions. We plan to invite practitioners of both AMO and particle physics to sit together and learn from each other about the state of the art and to discuss how quantum sensors can be used to search for “old” and “new” types of Beyond the Standard Model physics.

Defining a theory of quantum gravity remains one of the most challenging problems at the cutting edge of research in mathematical and theoretical physics. Unlocking this problem implies constructing a quantum field theoretic description of gravity which fully elucidates how a quantum field theory encodes gravitational spacetime background solutions. Much of the progress in shaping the language and the framework of this problem owes its genesis to a specific subset of problems in quantum gravity, namely those dealing with understanding the organisation of information in black holes.

In this program we plan to invite a critical mass of researchers with complementary expertise from across the mathematical physics, condensed-matter physics and string theory communities, to promote common interests and collaborations, discover and open up new directions, and in particular, to develop applications to realistic physical systems.

Integrability has played a central role in understanding non-perturbative QFTs quantitatively leading to important applications in condensed matter physics, mathematical physics and more recently, in string theory. There is considerable activity brewing at the interface of these areas. An important recent development is given by integrability-preserving deformations, which includes the TTbar deformation. This progress further expands the scope of integrability to a larger class of models. At the same time, it leads to new insights on fundamental concepts of 2d quantum field theories such as UV completeness and locality. Another promising and active approach toward nonperturbative physics is provided by duality. In particular, dualities found in the AdS/CFT correspondence and its extensions, known as holography, have provided new insights and exact results by employing exact methods such as integrability and localization. AdS/CFT integrability has inspired remarkable advances in the study of correlation functions, including single-trace operators and those involving D-brane in AdS. The techniques employed are closely connected to the study of finite- volume form factors, and of non-equilibrium dynamics in condensed matter physics. Interest in CFT correlators also connects with the conformal bootstrap program, to which integrability is poised to contribute. As examples of how this might happen, links between Calogero-Sutherland models and conformal blocks have been established; non-perturbative methods for computing OPE coefficients which combine numerical conformal bootstrap approach and integrability have been initiated. Exploring this rich web of connections, between different areas of physics and mathematical physics, is in its infancy.

The XVI International Conference on Heavy Quarks and Leptons (HQL 2023) will be held at TIFR Mumbai from November 28 through December 2, 2023. The conference is dedicated to the study of heavy quarks, namely charm, bottom, and top, with possible extensions to interesting topics involving the strange quark. Neutrino oscillation studies as well as new insights into the muon and tau lepton sectors are also included. It continues the tradition of regular scientific meetings, first started in 1993 at the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati under the name "Heavy Quarks at Fixed Target", and widened in 2002 to include leptons, with the workshop being renamed to its current form.

While it is widely acknowledged that string theory provides a framework for addressing quantum gravitational (and even quantum field theoretic) questions, the precise nature of its organizational principle remains obscure. Nearly three decades ago, when the question “What is string theory?” was asked, the perturbative string worldsheet viewpoint played the starring role. Since then, the discovery of D-branes, string dualities, and the holographic AdS/CFT correspondence has had spacetime dynamics taking center-stage. Much insight has been gleaned from these developments. We now have, for example, a much broader class of string backgrounds with better control over compactifications; strong constraints on the low energy effective field theories; a plethora of gauge-string dualities as well as applications of holographic techniques to a wide class of physical problems; and new angles on semiclassical gravitational physics from a fruitful interplay with quantum information in holography. Together with an influx of new tools and techniques, we have a very rich set of perspectives that illuminate the subject we continue to call string theory. While all these developments are interesting in and of themselves, it is an opportune moment to attempt to synthesize these, often disparate, strands and arrive at a deeper answer to the question in the title.

String theory encompasses a wide range of perspectives on the nature of spacetime, from qubit models of black hole information to the string worldsheet. This conference will aim for a new synthesis of the field that builds on recent progress on the role of quantum information, new top-down techniques in string compactification and string field theory, and growing evidence for precise holographic dualities beyond anti-de Sitter space. The focus will be on bridging the divide between the IR and the UV. We will explore recent progress in non-perturbative string theory and stringy constraints on effective field theory, and develop the connections between the gravitational path integral, higher topologies, and entanglement, from low energy to the string scale.
