High Energy Physics
The local Callan-Symanzik equation describes the response of a quantum field theory to local scale transformations in the presence of background sources. The consistency conditions associated with this anomalous equation can be used to derive powerful constraints on RG flows. We will discuss various aspects of the equation and present new results regarding the structure of the anomaly. We then use the equation to write correlation functions of the trace of the energy-momentum tensor off-criticality.

Quantum Physics
A century after the advent of Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity, both theories enjoy incredible empirical success, constituting the cornerstones of modern physics. Yet, paradoxically, they suffer from deep-rooted, so-far intractable, conflicts. Motivations for violations of the notion of
relativistic locality include the Bell's inequalities for hidden variable theories, the cosmological horizon problem, and Lorentz-violating approaches to quantum geometrodynamics, such as Horava-Lifshitz gravity. Here, we explore a recent proposal for a ``real ensemble'' non-local description of quantum mechanics, in which ``particles'' can copy each others' observables AND phases, independent of their spatial separation. We first specify the exact theory, ensuring that it is consistent and has (ordinary) quantum mechanics as a fixed point, where all particles with the same observables have the same phases. We then study the stability of this fixed point numerically, and analytically, for simple models. We provide evidence that most systems (in our study) are locally stable to small deviations from quantum mechanics, and furthermore, the phase variance per observable, as well as systematic deviations from quantum mechanics, decay as ~ (EnergyXTime)^{-n}, where n > 2. Interestingly, this convergence is controlled by the absolute value of energy (and not energy difference). Finally, we discuss different issues related to this theory, as well as potential implications for early universe, and the cosmological constant problem.

I will review recent developments in our theoretical understanding of the abundance and clustering of dark matter haloes. In the first part of this talk, I will discuss a toy model based on the statistics of peaks of Gaussian random field (Bardeen et al 1986) and show how the clustering properties of such a point set can be easily derived from a generalised local bias expansion. In the second part, I will explain how this peak formalism relates to the excursion set approach and present parameter-free predictions for the mass function and bias of dark matter halos.
