In this talk I will show that the main properties of the fracton quasiparticles can be derived from a generalized covariant Maxwell-like action. Starting from a rank-2 symmetric tensor field, a partially symmetric rank-3 tensor field strength can be built, which obeys a kind of Bianchi identity. The most general action invariant under the covariant “fracton” transformation consists of two...

Within the cell nucleus of eukaryotic organisms, chromosomes are organized in a complex, non-random three-dimensional (3D) spatial structure, which is intimately linked to vital functional purposes. Indeed, a correct folding allows an efficient communication between genes and their distal regulatory elements while, if altered, can cause severe diseases. Here I will discuss how Polymer Physics,...

Obtaining accurate predictions for quantum theories is of paramount importance. Perturbation series are often divergent and non Borel summable, making the problem challenging.

Here we further explore exact perturbation theory (EPT) in quantum mechanics, first proposed in [Serone '17]. In this context, we can compare EPT with the well established exact wkb (EWKB) method. For bounded systems,... -

Surprisingly the scattering of an s-wave massless fermion on a massive monopole is a subtle (and puzzling) problem.

We use general assumptions of the unknown UV theory to constrain the IR physics of photons. Specifically, we can consider causality and unitarity of the S-matrix to set up a bootstrap problem. By solving it with numerical optimisation methods, we obtain the allowed EFT coefficients which are consistent with a unitary and causal UV completion.

In the first part of the talk, I will argue how such a kination epoch can naturally arise in string compactifications after inflation, focusing on the case where it is driven by the volume modulus. I will...

When the pseudoscalar P is heavy (e.g. for P=D, Ds, B) and the lepton l is light, the structure-dependent contributions to the decay rate are enhanced w.r.t. the point-like one by a factor (mp/ml)^2, making the corresponding decay... -

We propose a novel solution to the strong CP problem based on modular invariance. The latter is inherent to toroidal compactifications in string theory. We show that modular invariance allows for simple effective theories of flavour and CP where (i) the QCD angle vanishes, (ii) the CKM phase is large, (iii) quark and lepton masses and mixings can be reproduced up to order one coefficients. We...

One of the most intriguing signals beyond the Standard Model is the well-known discrepancy between the theoretical prediction of the muon anomalous magnetic moment amu=(g-2)mu/2 and its experimental value. However, the accuracy of the theoretical prediction is limited by the uncertainty on the Hadronic Leading Order (HLO) contribution amu^HLO. In this regard, the recently proposed MUonE...
