General Relativity & Quantum Cosmology
The idea that the graviton may be massive has seen a resurgence of interest due to recent progress which has overcome its traditional problems. I will review this recent progress, which has led to a consistent ghost-free effective field theory of a massive graviton, with a stable hierarchy between the graviton mass and the cutoff, and how this theory has the potential to resolve the naturalness problem of the cosmological constant.

PIRSA:12090075

We shall follow the growth of probability theory and applications from the 1650s onwards, in parallel with the development of statistical inference. Bayesian, Neyman-Pearson hypothesis testing and Fisherian likelihood methods will all be covered, with an emphasis on relating theory to a wide range of applications. Practical sessions will use SciPy and feature closed-form solutions, iterative and Monte Carlo simulation methods.

Mathematical Physics
It has been known for some time that a system with a filled band will have an integer quantum Hall conductance equal to its Chern number, a toplogical index associated with the band. While this is true for a system in a magnetic field with filled Landau Levels, even a system in zero external field can exhibit the QHE if its band has a Chern number. I review this issue and discuss a more recent question of whether a partially filled Chern band can exhibit the Fractional QHE. I describe the work done with Ganpathy Murthy in which we show how composite fermions, which were so useful in explaining the usual FQHE, can be introduced here and with equal success by adapting our Hamiltonian Theory of CFs developed for the FQHE in the continuum.

General Relativity & Quantum Cosmology
The combinatorial problems associated with the counting of black hole states in loop quantum gravity can be analyzed by using suitable generating functions. These not only provide very useful tools for exact computations, but can also be used to perform an statistical analysis of the black hole degeneracy spectrum, study the interesting substructure found in the entropy of microscopic black holes and its asymptotic behavior for large horizon areas. The methods that will be described are relevant for the discussion of the thermodynamic limit for black holes in the area canonical ensemble. This is an important issue in order to understand sub-leading corrections to the Bekenstein-Hawking law.
