The first time I saw tascalate on a menu it was at Itanoni in Oaxaca. I immediately fell in love with the traditional drink. But finding a second cup – particularly at home in Chicago – was a lost cause. But now, years later, Ximena N. Beltran Quan Kiu has written an article about how tascalte h...

Effects of electronic correlations in BaOsO3 and tetragonal CuO

Sommerfeld Theory Colloquium (ASC) - May 15, 2024 15:36 - 1 hour - Video ★★★★★ - 2 ratings
Strongly correlated electron systems, i.e. systems where the interaction between electrons cannot be treated as an effective potential, are an extremely fascinating, but also very challenging topic in modern solid state physics. The challenge arises in parts due to the simultaneous importance of ...

Emergence of geometry and meaning, through gauge and strings dynamics

Sommerfeld Theory Colloquium (ASC) - May 15, 2024 15:36 - 1 hour - Video ★★★★★ - 2 ratings
I will discuss the statistical physics of random growth processes which, on the one hand, model the non-perturbative gauge dynamics, emergence of space geometry in string theory on the other, yet could also model the evolution of language(s).

The cosmic microwave background contains a wealth of information about cosmology as well as high energy physics. It tells us about the composition and geometry of the universe, the properties of neutrinos, dark matter, and even the conditions in our universe long before the cosmic microwave backg...

Einstein and Quantum Mechanics: It's Not What You Think

Sommerfeld Theory Colloquium (ASC) - May 15, 2024 15:36 - 1 hour - Video ★★★★★ - 2 ratings
Einstein is well known for his rejection of quantum mechanics in the form it emerged from the work of Heisenberg, Born and Schrodinger in 1926. Much less appreciated are the many seminal contributions he made to quantum theory prior to his �final scientifi�c verdict, that the theory was at best i...

Cosmology with Type Ia Supernovae: where do we stand today?

Sommerfeld Theory Colloquium (ASC) - May 15, 2024 15:36 - 1 hour - Video ★★★★★ - 2 ratings
The role of Type Ia supernovae in observational cosmology has evolved from being ”avant-garde” in the early 1990’s until today’s mature status of precision cosmology. Several large transient surveys have been detecting supernovae routinely, near and far, with the aim of probing what is causing th...

Emergent cosmology from quantum gravity: the universe as a quantum condensate

Sommerfeld Theory Colloquium (ASC) - May 15, 2024 15:36 - 1 hour - Video ★★★★★ - 2 ratings
The construction of a quantum theory of gravity remains an open problem despite decades of efforts. In time, the very perspective on this problem evolved. From quantising General Relativity, the goal is now mostly understood to be unraveling a more fundamental microstructure of spacetime, based o...

Since the discovery of the first binary black-hole merger in 2015, analytical and numerical solutions to the relativistic two-body problem have been essential for the detection and interpretation of more than 100 gravitational-wave signals from compact-object binaries. Future experiments will det...

Several new techniques are currently being employed to probe the strong gravitational fi�eld in the vicinity of black holes. Long baselineinterferometry at sub-millimeter wavelengths sets constraints on the silhouette of the black holes in the Galactic center (SgrA*) and M87. Stars which get tida...

Cascade of phase transitions near Quantum Critical Point

Sommerfeld Theory Colloquium (ASC) - May 15, 2024 15:36 - 1 hour - Video ★★★★★ - 2 ratings
In the standard picture of a quantum phase transition, a single quantum critical point separates the phases at zero temperature. Here we show that the two-dimensional case is considerably more complex. Instead of the single point separating the antiferromagnet from the normal metal, we have disco...
