Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics

The Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics was established in 2012 by the University of Edinburgh to seek answers to fundamental questions about the universe. We do this by creating opportunities for researchers and students from around the world to come together to formulate new theoretical concepts, taking us beyond the limitations of current paradigms.

Subtracting the Infrared Divergences in Collider Observables—Emese UNGAR

The LHC will soon enter its high luminosity phase, increasing the need for more precise theoretical predictions of collider observables. A major bottleneck in the calculation of many observables is infrared divergences arising in the numerical integrations. In this talk I will introduce the problem of IR divergences in calculating ...

Hidden Patterns in the Standard Model—John BAEZ

One famous physics popularizer has claimed that while the Standard Model is "the most successful physical theory ever proposed, it is also one of the ugliest". Another possibility is that the Standard Model is more beautiful than we realize, and holds clues we do not yet understand. Here we review ...

High-Dimensional Random Systems: Geometry of Landscapes, and Life Without One—Valentina ROS

High-dimensional random landscapes (random fields defined on high-dimensional manifolds) have been widely studied as models of the potential energy landscapes of complex systems. Elizabeth Gardner played a key role here, starting from her 1985 study of a prototypical landscape model, the Ising p-spin glass. In recent years these problems have ...
