Symmetries of S-matrix and Infrared Physics
Recently, a new understanding has appeared of how certain spacetime symmetries
are encoded in specific properties -- known as soft properties -- of the
quantum mechanical scattering matrix. This connection holds both with and
without gravity. Intense activity in this area has resulted in the discovery
of new effects in the soft ...

Numerical approaches to holography, quantum gravity and cosmology
Holographic AdS/CFT duality and lattice gauge theory are leading non-perturbative approaches to investigate quantum gravity and strongly coupled quantum field theories. Extensive work is ongoing to apply both techniques to broader classes of systems, leading to a growing number of connections between them. Numerical analyses in particular are becoming ...

The physics of epigenetic and chromatin dynamics
Virtually all cells in our body have the same DNA (hence genetic information),
yet a skin, liver and a brain cell all express a very different set of genes.
Additionally, when a differentiated cell divides, the daughter has the same
set of genes on: a skin cell gives rise to ...

Subtracting Infrared Singularities Beyond NLO
Precise theoretical predictions for LHC observables are a crucial pre-
requisite for the discovery of new physics. Such predictions require high-
order perturbative calculations in the Standard Model, most notably in QCD. A
key step in these calculations is the cancellation of infrared divergences,
which arise from exchanges of virtual ...

First forum on rare kaon decays
Flavour Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) decays are extremely rare processes in particle physics which are forbidden at the classical level in the Standard Model. Therefore, they constitute attractive channels to try to observe new physics beyond the Standard Model. A particular family of such decays are the kaon decays where ...

Higgs-Maxwell Workshop 2018
Higgs-Maxwell workshops are a series of annual one-day
meetings to discuss the
current topics in theoretical and experimental particle physics and the
prospects for future discoveries. The meeting is organised by the Universities
of Durham, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Lancaster. This year's meeting, taking place
on February 14th at the ...

Gravity beyond Einstein: Quo vadimus?
The first simultaneous detection of gravitational waves and electromagnetic
radiation from two merging neutron stars (GW170817 and GRB 170817A) poses new
challenges to theories of gravity specifically designed to explain the late
time accelerated expansion of the universe. Nevertheless, tensions in the data
and the so far unsolved cosmological constant ...

Meeting of The UK Fluids Network Special Interest Group on “Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics”
In 2016, EPSRC set up The UK Fluids Network -- a cross-institutional
collaboration of researchers from various disciplines working on various
aspect of physics of fluids. The Networks stems from the realisation that
while a lot of cutting-edge fluid-dynamics-related research being performed in
the UK, it is usually embedded in various ...
