The workshop will cover novel methods developed to understand non-perturbative phenomena in quantum field theory and quantum gravity, in the non-supersymmetric realm.
The topics include the formulation of non-perturbative dualities in QFT and their application in condensed matter systems; the study of symmetries and their anomalies, including the most modern incarnations, and the constraints they put on the non-perturbative dynamics; the investigation of quantum information theoretic methods and their interplay with QFT concepts like causality, entanglement entropy, and so forth; the analysis of aspects of the swampland, through the application of string theory to phenomenological and cosmological problems. The topics will be spread over two weeks of the workshop roughly according to the order they are listed. Each day there will be 1-2 long talks and possibly a discussion session. Most of the talks will include a pedagogical overview of the subject. There will be ample time left for discussion and the initiation of new collaborations.
Topics:
Dynamics of non-supersymmetric QFTs
Generalized symmetries and their anomalies
Quantum information in QFT and quantum gravity
Swampland conjectures and quantum gravity
Grants:
A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries. There is no registration fee.
