SEMINARI/SHORT COURSES

Advanced Topics in Perturbative Quantum Field Theory and Applications to Quantum Gravity

dott. Luca Boninfante -Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics-10 hours

Abstract: Perturbative Quantum Field Theory (pQFT) has been the most successful framework through which theoretical physicists of the last century have been able to select theories and describe the dynamics of electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions. In the first part of this course we will review and discuss at a more advanced level basic aspects of pQFT such as locality of the interactions, symmetries, unitarity and renormalizability. We will explain how powerful the criterion of renormalizability is to select fundamental Lagrangians in pQFT. In the second part of the course we will apply pQFT to the description of the gravitational interaction. In particular, we will show the failure of perturbative renormalizability in Einstein's general relativity and discuss a promising ultraviolet completion (in the context of pQFT) which involves the addition of quadratic curvature invariants into the Lagrangian and that is strictly renormalizable as the Standard Model interactions.

Dark Matter and Inflation

Dr. Tanmay Kumar Poddar-INFN, Salerno-10 hours

Dark matter is a fundamental component of our universe, constituting about five times more mass than visible matter. Its presence is evident across various scales, from small galactic distances to the vast expanses of the cosmos, playing a crucial role in the formation of structures like galaxies and clusters. Despite its significance, the true nature of dark matter remains elusive. In this lecture series, we will explore different models of dark matter, examine techniques for its detection, and discuss future prospects in this field. Additionally, we will delve into the concept of inflationary theory, highlighting its importance in addressing key cosmological puzzles such as the flatness and horizon problems, as well as its role in shaping the structure of the universe.
