High Energy Theory Seminar
Online and In-Person Event
The String Landscape, precisely
Jakob Moritz,
University of Wisconsin, Madison,
Compactifications of higher dimensional string theories offer perhaps the most promising "top-down" path toward realistic models of our universe. In this talk, after reviewing the current status of such compactifications (the "string landscape"), I will present recent and ongoing work aimed at constructing Standard Model embeddings in string theory, evaluating the scalar potential for the notoriously light moduli fields, and computing dimension-five interactions between axion-like particles and Standard Model fieldsThe talk is in 469 Lauritsen.
