Minicourse on Universality in the Epsilon-Expansion

In the course we introduce the “functional” re-formulation of the standard Perturbative RG (FPRG) and use it to classify universality classes in arbitrary dimension (i.e. CFTs) within the epsilon-expansion together with the determination of the epsilon-series for all the relative CFT data. One novelty of the approach is the ability to construct epsilon-series for the OPE coefficients and not only for the critical exponents (i.e. CFT scaling dimensions).

In the single component case, universality classes are represented by renormalizable scalar QFTs with self-interacting potentials of highest monomial φ^m below their upper critical dimensions d_c = 2m/(m -2). For even integers, m ≥ 4 these theories coincide with the Landau-Ginzburg description of multi-critical phenomena and interpolate with the unitary minimal CFTs in d = 2, while for odd m the theories are non-unitary CFTs and start at m = 3 with the Lee-Yang universality class. An important outcome of this functional analysis is the realization of the existence of a new non-trivial family of d = 3 universality classes with upper critical dimension d_c = 10/3.

The second part of the course will show how the FPRG formalism allows a straightforward generalization to the multicomponent scalar field case (arbitrary N) with almost no need for additional computations. We will explore many examples of known theories – including O(N), Potts and Cubic models – together with more recent topics like Platonic Field Theories and multicritical O(N) models.

Finally we present the recent full classification of d_c=4 and N = 2,3,4, d_c=6 and N=2,3 and d_c=10/3 and N=2 multicomponent universality classes and conclude with an overview of current research topics in the field.

Fundamental gravity, astronomy and cosmology have experienced unprecedented new developments and Gravitational Waves is a relatively recent actor on the stage. New observations of transients of electromagnetic, cosmic rays and neutrino origin are expected in the next decade, which will serve as cosmological probes as well as cosmic laboratories of strong gravity and high-energy physics. The high level of coordination required to maximize the (astro)physics output of forthcoming observations makes it timely to explore the cross-correlation among these different probes of astronomy, cosmology and fundamental gravity.

The aim of this workshop is to further stimulate activities in the Latin-American community in these rapidly evolving research areas related to classical gravity, to strengthen and spur new connections and collaborations, and to award the 2021 and 2022 ICTP-SAIFR Prizes for the best Latin-American thesis in Classical Gravity and Applications.

In addition to the invited talks, there will be space for contributed talks and posters.  Posters will be displayed during coffee breaks and flash presentations are planned, where each poster presenter will have 1′ to advertise their poster in front of the full audience.

This workshop is a satellite event of Cosmo22 that will take place in Rio de Janeiro from August 22-26, 2022.

There is no registration fee.

The ever-accelerating volume and variety of data being generated is having a huge impact on a wide variety of research disciplines, from the sciences to the humanities. The international, collective ability to create, share and analyze vast quantities of data is having a profound, transformative effect. This ‘Data Revolution’ offers great opportunities for students with modern data skills, both in conducting their research and in entering a jobs market where those skills are in demand.

Contemporary research – particularly when addressing the most significant, transdisciplinary research challenges – cannot be done effectively without a range of skills relating to data. This includes the principles and practice of Open Science and research data management and curation, the use of a range of data platforms and infrastructures, large scale analysis, statistics, visualization and modeling techniques, software development and annotation and more. We define ‘Research Data Science’ as the ensemble of these skills.

The School on Research Data Science will focus on growing competence in accessing, analyzing, visualizing, and publishing data. It is open to participants from all disciplines and/or backgrounds from the sciences to humanities. This activity will cover topics on principles and practice of Open Science, research data management and curation, use of a range of research compute infrastructures, large scale analysis, statistics, visualization and modeling techniques, automation and scripting.

There is no registration fee.

Application deadline: April 20, 2022

The training provided by the CODATA-RDA School of Research Data Science is primarily targeted at Early Career Researchers (advanced masters students, doctoral candidates, post-docs and young or early career academics). The data skills taught are also useful for (data) librarians and other research support staff, such as those who envisage a career as data steward or data analysts. Furthermore, people who are more advanced in their careers who would like to improve their data skills as a form of continuing professional development are also eligible.

The curriculum of the CODATA-RDA School of Research Data Science is presented as ten themes. Participants will be allowed seven days (a week) to complete each theme. Generally, the participant would need to make provision for at least seven to eight hours to work through the content of the theme. The content also makes provision for practical exercises and at least one live question and answer session where facilitators will address concerns participants may have. Content will be provided as video lectures as well as presentation slides.

Link to a video with testimonials by some of the 2020 School participants.

Applicants are expected to have a baseline of data skills and these are tested by an online form. In addition, applicants should pay particular attention to their personal statement and communicate persuasively their reasons for wishing to attend the School: how do they intend to use these skills, how will it benefit their research or the institution in which they work? Finally, candidates should take pains to ensure that their application is well supported by references from their past or present tutors or line managers. This is particularly important so that the School directors have confidence in the candidate and that the skills learnt will have the maximum benefit and impact.

This school will happen simultaneously with the CODATA-RDA School of Research Data Science – South Africa. Most of the materials and live sessions will be joint sessions. Also, we will use the same infrastructure for content sharing and live Q&A.

WORKSHOP INFORMATION

The material covered by the programme is fundamental to all areas of research, and thus open to researchers and professionals from all disciplines that deal with significant amounts of research data. The goal is to provide a practical introduction to these topics with some theory and extensive hands-on training.

School on Disordered Elastic Systems

ICTP-SAIFR/IFT-UNESP


Home

Disordered elastic systems are ubiquitous and encompass a rich variety of systems ranging from amorphous solids, colloidal suspensions and network glasses to dislocation systems, biopolymer fibrous networks, confluent cell tissues and even strange metals and machine learning. Their comprehensive study has not only led to a much deeper understanding of traditionally difficult problems as the glass transition; it has also extended the theoretical frontier to incorporate new frameworks such as topological mechanics, non-reciprocal phase transitions and exciting mechanical metamaterials.

The school is intended for graduate students and researchers, and  will cover well-tested and successful theoretical methods used to study disordered elastic systems (critically-coordinated lattices, scaling theories and calculations for jamming and glasses in infinite dimension), as well as more recent developments that have attracted a lot of attention in the past few years (mechanical metamaterials, machine learning and biopolymer fibrous networks). In addition to the lectures, there will be one research seminar per week, to be given by an outstanding local researcher with expertise in the subject area of the school.

There is no registration fee and limited funds are available for travel and local expenses.

The experimental discovery of materials displaying exotic behavior, such as unconventional superconductivity, exotic quantum orders, and nontrivial topological phases has pushed the frontiers of fundamental research in condensed matter physics. Many of the key properties of these materials emerge from the interaction between particles and the related competing energy scales. This means that they cannot be simply described by considering single-particle approximations, but require the development of new tools and nontrivial analyses.

In this workshop, we will bring together junior researchers as well as prominent experimentalists and theoreticians to discuss low dimensionality effects, frustrations, spin-orbit coupling, charge fluctuations, superconductivity, and disorder in strongly correlated systems. We expect a rich exchange of ideas during the workshop and the possible establishment of new collaborations between the participants.

Participants are invited to present their works in the poster section, and depending on the schedule, a few contributed works will be considered for oral presentations. 

There is no registration fee.
