The Quest for Localization

PIRSA:12060044

This talk aims to review the obstacles met in QFT to reach an appropriate definition for such a basic concept as localization. The anti-local character of the square root of the "- Laplace-Beltrami + mass^2" operator prevents the existence of localized states with a finite number of quanta. (Bosonic) quantum fields describe elementary excitations of an extended system whose ground state is the vacuum. No wonder, there is a complicated relationship between the cardinal (quantal) and continuous (spatial) sides of the theory. We will also analyze the roles (if any) played in RQI by the localized excitations of the vacuum.

Condensed Matter
We discuss the thermodynamic properties of the model exchange quantum spin ice material Yb_2Ti_2O_7. Using exchange parameters recently determined from high-field neutron scattering measurements, we calculate the thermodynamic properties of this model system. We find very good agreement with the heat capacity, entropy and magnetization measurements on the materials. We show that, in the weak quantum regime, quantum fluctuations lead to the selection, within the spin-ice manifold, of a conventional ordered ground state. However, the excitations above the ground state and their dynamics remain highly non-trivial. They consist of weakly bound spinon-antispinon pairs separated by long strings. We present several pieces of indirect evidence that the low temperature phase transition observed in these materials is to this conventional ordered state.
Looking for Quantum Gravity in the Space of Conformal Field Theories

PIRSA:12060005

Conformal field theories have many applications ranging from continuous phase transitions in Statistical Mechanics to models of beyond the Standard Model physics in Particle Physics. In this talk, I will explain another remarkable application: some conformal field theories can be used to define and study Quantum Gravity. I will also try to give a brief summary of some of the main ideas being discussed at the conference "Back to the Bootstrap II".

I will describe numerical simulations of quenches in AdS-CMT superconductors where we are able to construct a dynamical phase diagram for the system. I will describe how the late time behaviour is
understood in terms of the quasinormal modes of the system, and how a rather generic behaviour of the pole structure there leads to interesting physical consequences that have an analog in condensed matter calculations using integrable models.
