PIRSA:12090074

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.

High Energy Physics

When nuclear matter is heated beyond a temperature of 2 trillion
degrees, it converts into a strongly coupled plasma of quarks and
gluons, the sQGP. Experiments using highly energetic collisions
between heavy nuclei have revealed that this new state of matter is a
nearly ideal, highly opaque liquid. A description based upon string
theory and black holes in five dimensions has made the quark- gluon
plasma an iconic example of a strongly coupled quantum system. In this
lecture I will survey the observed properties of the sQGP in the light
of the latest results from RHIC and LHC. On the theoretical side, I
will discuss the thermalization and entropy production problem and
origin and role of event-by-event fluctuations.
