"From Orbifolds to Amplitudes"—Lance DIXON

Physics is a journey, not a destination. It is best done with valued friends and collaborators. In this retrospective, I trace some of the twists (pun intended) and turns in my career, from string theory to QCD, and some of the way back again. The talk will feature original artwork ...

Quasicrystals in fundamental physics

The discovery of the Penrose tiling (and other self-similar quasiperiodic tilings) in the 1970s sparked research into the remarkable mathematical properties of quasiperiodic structures, revealing connections to Fourier theory, number theory, and even pure logic. Soon after, these tilings found a classic application in physics as models for “quasicrystals”, new ...
