I will discuss the problem of scale hierarchies in particle physics and cosmology and propose ways to address it. In particular I will present a framework of natural inflation within supergravity dubbed `inflation by supersymmetry breaking’. The main idea is to identify the inflaton with the superpartner of the goldstino, in the presence of a gauged R-symmetry that may contain the R-parity of...
In this lecture, we will give an overview of some of the latest results related to superconductors under the influence of time-varying electric and magnetic fields.
The Swampland is defined as the set of consistent Quantum Field Theories that cannot be coupled to Quantum Gravity. The goal of the Swampland is to find or to conjecture, based on the intuition gained from String Theory, general principles that a field theory coupled to quantum gravity should respect. One example is the "gravity as the weakest force" (or "weak-gravity conjecture").
I will...
We present rogue wave solutions to the standard cubic nonlinear Schrődinger equation that models many propagation phenomena in nonlinear optics. We propose the method of mode pruning for suppressing the modulation instability of rogue waves. We point to instances when rogue waves appear as numerical artefacts, due to inadequate numerical treatment of modulation instability and homoclinic chaos...
