Title: Non-Relativistic Gravity Abstract: I will discuss the 1/c expansion of general relativity where c is the speed of light. At low orders this gives Newton-Cartan gravity and generalisations thereof. At higher orders (and weak fields) this can… Read More

Christian Northe (Ben-Gurion University)
Title: Entanglement Resolution and Boundary Conformal Field Theory Abstract: Conformal field theory is playing an essential role in developing our understanding of entanglement in many-body systems and field theory. I will discuss how it allows one to access… Read More

Erica Bertolini (DIAS)
Title: Maxwell Theory of Fractons Abstract: 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… Read More

David Berenstein (University of California, Santa Barbara)
Title: Staggered Bosons Abstract: I will discuss a novel construction of field theories based on the idea that one has only a half boson degree of freedom per lattice site. Basically, instead of having a pair of canonical conjugate commuting variables… Read More
