General Relativity & Quantum Cosmology

I give an account of the Machian approach to dynamics, from Mach's critique of Newton to the work of Barbour, Bertotti, York and O'Murchadha, which culminated in the theory of Shape Dynamics, a new and original way of thinking about General Relativity. I conclude commenting on the present research lines in Shape Dynamics, and the opportunity it offers to solve the problem of time in quantum gravity.

Condensed Matter

Using quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate the finite-temperature phase diagram of hard-core bosons (XY model) in two- and three-dimensional square lattices. To determine the phase boundaries, we perform a finite-size scaling analysis of the condensate fraction and/or the superfluid stiffness. We then discuss how this diagrams can be measured in experiments with trapped ultracold gases, where the systems are inhomogeneous. For that, we introduce a method based on the measurement of the zero-momentum occupation, which is adequate for experiments dealing with both homogeneous and trapped systems. Finally, we provide an analytical argument that demonstrates that the Bose-Hubbard model does not exhibit ﬁnite-temperature BEC in two dimensions, provided that density remains finite across the entire system in the thermodynamic limit.
A monodromy defect in the 3d Ising model.

High Energy Physics

A conformal defect is a d-dimensional geometrical object that breaks the SO(D+1,1) symmetry, of a D-dimensional conformal field theory, down to those transformations that leave the defect invariant i.e. SO(D-d) X SO(d+1,1).
We studied the 3D critical Ising model in presence of a special kind of these defects, a monodromy line defect.
In particular we computed, using Montecarlo simulations, the anomalous dimensions of the lowest dimensional operators living at the defect, as well as correlation functions of operators in the bulk with operators at the defect.
We found a good agreement between our results and the expectations of conformal field theory.

In my talk I will discuss our recent paper hep-th/1211.1322 where we construct a 3D conformal field theory dual to asymptotically AdS cosmology in four dimensions. Due to the scale invariance this dual theory allows an infinite family of instantons each of which breaks the conformal group O(3,2) down to O(3,1). These instantons are dual to bulk instantons responsible for nucleating an O(3,1) invariant cosmological bubble. Presumably they indicate an infinite instability rate, however we are able to sum over all of them completely. The resulting theory is manifestly stable, unitary and finite.
