I will discuss a novel solution to the hierarchy problems, both for the Higgs mass and the cosmological constant. The only new ingredient is an ultra-light scalar coupled to the Higgs in the presence of heavier new physics. This works at the price of making the Universe itself precarious. https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.02463

A dark matter particle lighter than about 100 eV is expected to exhibit wave behavior in a galaxy like the Milky Way. We discuss particle physics motivations for such a scenario, and implications for astrophysical observations and experimental detection.

Magnetic black holes and traversable wormholes
- Juan Maldacena (IAS)
16:00 - 17:00
We will discuss the physics of magnetically charged black holes. If we have charged massless fermions, there is a large number of effectively two-dimensional fields that give rise to interesting effects. An interesting effect is that they lead to a controllable construction of traversable wormholes without the addition of exotic matter. For the matter of the Standard Model, these wormholes are microscopic. On the other hand, with matter described by a suitable version of the Randall-Sundrum model, they could be traversed by a human. https://inspirehep.net/literature/1811920 https://inspirehep.net/literature/1790955 https://inspirehep.net/literature/1681998
