Concerto Italiano and Rinaldo Alessandrini
Founder and conductor Rinaldo Alessandrini’s early music ensemble, Concerto Italiano, came into existence in 1984. Its birth coincides with that of the revival of early music in Italy and is...

Reconstruction of Cosmological Fields in Forward Model Framework - Galaxy Clustering and Intensity Mapping
In this talk, I will outline the forward model approach to reconstruct cosmological fields in a Bayesian framework. I will focus on two examples - galaxy clustering and neutral hydrogen...

Scalar gauge theories and Dark Matter
I will consider simple scalar gauge theories with one scalar field in a low-dimensional representation of a gauge group. The renormalizable action often has accidental symmetries that lead to one...

The proton size, the fine-structure constant and the electron electric dipole moment
Fundamental physics (including physics beyond the Standard Model) can be tested using table-top precision measurements. The talk will describe measurements of the size of the proton, the fine-structure constant and...

Towards inclusion of biology in cosmology
Cosmologists wish to explain how our universe, in all its complexity, could ever have come about. This is the problem of initial conditions and the first step towards its solution...

Standard Model Meets Gravity: Electroweak Symmetry Breaking and Inflation
We propose a model for combining the Standard Model (SM) with gravity. It relies on a non-minimal coupling of the Higgs field to the Ricci scalar and on the Palatini...

Meta-Learning Algorithms and their Applications to Quantum Computing
Meta-learning involves learning mathematical devices using problem instances as training data. In this talk, we first describe recent meta-learning approaches involving the learning of objects such as: initial weights, parameterized...

Color Confinement, Bose-Einstein Condensation and Holographic Emergent Space
We propose a unified manner of understanding two important phenomena: color confinement in large-N gauge theory, and Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC). We do this by clarifying the relation between the standard...
