 1/">1+1d adjoint QCD and non-invertible topological lines</a>\nby Kantaro 
 Ohmori (Simons Center for Geometry and Physics) as part of East Asian Stri
 ng Webinars\n\n\nAbstract\nIn ‘90s\, it is claimed that the QCD with mas
 sless adjoint quark in 1+1-dimensions is confined\, although naively the f
 ermions cannot screen the Wilson line in the fundamental representation. I
 n this talk\, we will see that the confinement can be explained from the t
 opological line operators live in the theory. In particular\, non-invertib
 le topological lines\, which do not correspond to a symmetry\, play a cruc
 ial role. Based on a ongoing work with Zohar Komargodski\, Konstantinos Ro
 umpedakis and Sahand Seifnashri.\n

 2/">Anomaly of the electromagnetic duality of Maxwell theory</a>\nby Chang
 -Tse Hsieh (Kavli IPMU) as part of East Asian String Webinars\n\n\nAbstrac
 t\nEvery physicist knows that the classical electromagnetism is described 
 by Maxwell's equations and that it is invariant under the electromagnetic 
 duality S: (E\, B) → (B\, −E). However\, the properties of the electro
 magnetic duality in the quantum theory might not be as well known to physi
 cists and are in fact not very well understood in the literature. Recently
 \, we uncovered a feature of Maxwell theory in the situation where going a
 round nontrivial paths in the spacetime involves the action of the duality
  transformation\, namely that it has a quantum anomaly. We found that the 
 anomaly of this system in a particular formulation is 56 times that of a W
 eyl fermion. Our result reproduces\, as a special case\, the known anomaly
  of the all-fermion electrodynamics — a version of the Maxwell theory wh
 ere particles of odd (electric or magnetic) charge are fermions — discov
 ered in the last few years.\n

 3/">Quantum Modularity from 3-Manifolds</a>\nby Miranda Cheng (Univ. of Am
 sterdam/National Taiwan University) as part of East Asian String Webinars\
 n\n\nAbstract\nQuantum modular forms are functions on rational numbers tha
 t have rather mysterious weak modular properties. Mock modular forms and f
 alse theta functions are examples of holomorphic functions on the upper-ha
 lf plane which lead to quantum modular forms. Inspired by the 3d-3d corres
 pondence in string theory\, a new topological invariants named homological
  blocks for (in particular plumbed) three-manifolds have been proposed a f
 ew years ago. My talk aims to explain the recent observations on the quant
 um modular properties of the homological blocks\, as well as the relation 
 to logarithmic vertex algebras. The talk will be based on a series of work
  in collaboration with Sungbong Chun\, Boris Feigin\, Francesca Ferrari\, 
 Sergei Gukov\, Sarah Harrison\, and Gabriele Sgroi.\n

 onditions and polynomial boundedness at infinity. These can be used to wri

 Asian String Webinars\n\n\nAbstract\nHow to characterize information scram
 bling in dynamical systems is a question of interest to physicists across 
 energy scales. Inspired by classical chaos\, which addresses this question
  quite successfully in classical physics\, out of order time correlators (
 OTOC) have been considered a promising approach for quantum systems. In th
 is talk\, I will first discuss the relation between scrambling (as defined
  by exponential growth of OTOC) and chaos in the semiclassical regime\, an
 d show that they can differ qualitatively (joint work with Tianrui Xu andT
 homas Scaffidi). In a second part\, I will discuss scrambling in a family 
 of generalized Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models\, which are arguably more realisti
 c\, and which allow us to clarify the behavior of the Lyapunov exponent in
  non-maxically chaotic Fermi and non-Fermi liquids (joint work with Jaewon
  Kim and Ehud Altman).\n

 7/">Causal symmetry breaking: late time physics of holographic quantum cha
 os</a>\nby Julian Sonner (U. Geneva) as part of East Asian String Webinars
 \n\n\nAbstract\nQuantum chaotic systems are often defined via the assertio
 n that their spectral statistics coincides with\, or is well approximated 
 by\, random matrix theory. In this talk I will explain how the universal c
 ontent of random matrix theory emerges as the consequence of a simple symm
 etry-breaking principle and its associated Goldstone modes. Within AdS/CFT
  this gives a universal framework to express correlations between "differe
 nt universes"\, even for individual theories rather than ensembles. I will
  illustrate the bulk picture of this EFT using the example minimal string 
 theory. I will end by discussing the construction of the EFT of quantum ch
 aos also in higher dimensional field theories\, as applicable for example 
 for higher-dimensional AdS/CFT dual pairs.\n

  of near-horizon dynamics yields exact constraints on the spectrum of coll

 information paradox is a problem over 40 years. Recent progress shows hint
  towards a new understanding of the black hole interior as part of the Haw
 king radiation\, which they called island. In particular the island formul
 a for the Von Neumann entropy of Hawking radiation is consistent with unit
 arity. In this talk I will discuss how to extract more information of the 
 island by computing the correlation in Hawking radiation. In particular we
  study reflected entropy (as a correlation measure of mixed states) and pr
 opose a quantum extremal surface for reflected entropy. Based on that\, we
  find a formula for reflected entropy with island cross section as its are
 a term in gravitational system.\n

  seen an explosion of progress in our understanding of scattering amplitud
 es in gauge theory and gravity. New bootstrap methods have revealed hidden
  symmetries and new mathematical structures that are completely invisible 
 in the standard approach of Lagrangians and Feynman diagrams. Inspired by 
 these developments\, the bootstrap philosophy has recently been applied to
  cosmology. In this talk\, I will describe our work on the bootstrapping o
 f cosmological correlations. \n\nThe talk will have two parts: In the firs
 t part\, I will describe the conceptual foundations of the "cosmological b
 ootstrap” as developed together with Arkani-Hamed\, Lee and Pimentel in 
 [arXiv:1811.00024]. In the second part\, I will describe the extension of 
 these ideas to massless particles with spin\, where locality provides impo

 13/">Adventures in Non-Supersymmetric String Theory</a>\nby Justin Kaidi (
 Simons Center\, Stony Brook) as part of East Asian String Webinars\n\n\nAb
 stract\nIt has long been known that there exist strings with supersymmetry
  on the world sheet\, but not in spacetime. These include the well-known T
 ype 0 strings\, as well as a series of seven heterotic strings\, all of wh
 ich are obtained by imposing unconventional GSO projections. Besides these
  classic examples though\, relatively little is known about the full space
  of non-SUSY theories. One of the reasons why non-SUSY strings have remain
 ed understudied is the fact that nearly all of them have closed string tac
 hyons\, and hence do not admit ten-dimensional flat space as a stable vacu
 um. The goal of this talk is two-fold. First\, using recent advances in co
 ndensed matter theory\, we will reinterpret GSO projections in terms of to
 pological phases of matter\, thereby providing a framework for the classif
 ication of non-SUSY strings. Having done so\, we will show that for all no
 n-SUSY theories in which a tachyon exists\, it can be condensed to give a 
 stable lower-dimensional vacuum. In many cases\, these stable vacua will b
 e two-dimensional string theories already known in the literature.\n

 nAbstract\nI will discuss the problem of bounding higher derivative coupli
 ngs in consistent weakly coupled gravitational theories. The starting poin
 t will be general assumptions about analyticity and Regge growth of the S-
 matrix. Higher derivative couplings are expected to be of order one in the
  units of the UV cutoff. Our approach justifies this expectation and allow
 s us to prove precise bounds on the order one coefficients. I will explain
  that the notorious difficulties presented by the graviton pole can be ove
 rcome by measuring couplings at small impact parameter\, rather than in th
 e forward limit. I will illustrate the method in theories containing a mas
 sless scalar coupled to gravity\, and in theories with maximal supersymmet
 ry. My talk will be based on https://arxiv.org/pdf/2102.08951.pdf\n

 shi Murayama (UC Berkeley / Kavli IPMU) as part of East Asian String Webin
 ars\n\n\nAbstract\nI present some exact results in QCD-like chiral gauge t
 heories. They are exact when supersymmetric gauge theories are perturbed b
 y anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking (AMSB). Thanks to the UV-insensi
 tivity of AMSB\, SUSY results can be perturbed with no ambiguities even wh
 en applied to composite fields. I find two phases for QCD-like theories\, 
 one with chiral symmetry breaking and another conformal. Our results for c
 hiral gauge theories do not agree with what had been suggested by tumbling
 . We suggest alternative schemes of tumbling-like interpretations. We see 
 no evidence that large SUSY breaking leads to phase transitions\, perhaps 
 protected by holomorphy.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://stable.researchseminars.org/talk/EASW/
 25/">QFT\, EFT and GFT</a>\nby Aninda Sinha (Indian Institute of Science) 
 as part of East Asian String Webinars\n\n\nAbstract\nI will talk about an 
 intriguing correspondence between 2-2 scattering in quantum field theory (
 QFT) and an area of mathematics called geometric function theory (GFT). Th
 e area of GFT that we will focus on is the theory of typically real\, univ
 alent functions which are the relevant objects to understand scattering am
 plitudes. This understanding relies heavily on a crossing symmetric disper
 sion relation for 2-2 scattering that was recently resurrected and further
 ed in the context of effective field theories (EFT). Time permitting\, I w
 ill explain how to get the crossing symmetric EFT-hedron in effective fiel
 d theories.\n
