Laces 2018 - Lezioni Avanzate di Campi E Stringhe

Nov 26, 2018 - Dec 14, 2018



Abstract
The aim of the school is to bring together Ph.D. students with interests in Gauge and String Theory and help them build a solid and specialized background on recent developments in Theoretical Physics. The school is open to about 35 selected Ph.D. students. Application to the School and for financial support is open and should be done through the registration page.

Abstract

Compact stars and holography

The equation of state of QCD at large baryon densities is out of the reach of first principles calculations, but it can be constrained by measurements of neutron stars properties and gravitational waves produced in binary mergers. I discuss the possible application of gauge/gravity duality to finite baron density and how it fares regarding astrophysical constraints in a simple model.

Abstract

Emegent/composite Axions

Hidden theories coupled to the SM may provide emergent axions, that are composites/bound-states of the hidden fields. This is motivated by paradigms emerging from the AdS/CFT correspondence but it is a more general phenomenon. We explore the general setup and find that UV-sourced interactions of instanton densities give rise to emergent axions in the IR. We study the general properties of such axions and argue that they are generically different from both fundamental and composite axions that have been studied so far.
