This event is a Workshop.
The last few years have seen a renewed interest in the analytic structure of scattering amplitudes. One of the consequences has been a revival of old methods from the S-matrix program of the sixties, which can now be coupled with our deeper understanding of the types of functions that appear ...

This event is a Workshop.
The international workshop “Physics of Biological Cells: From Molecules to Populations”, will take place on May 14-16 2024 on the King’s Buildings campus of the University of Edinburgh. The workshop aims to bring together a vibrant community of researchers working on the current burgeoning topics of exceptional interest spanning ...
This event is a Workshop.
The 9th edition of the Higgs Centre School of Theoretical Physics will take place from 27-31 May 2024. The scientific programme starts at 9:00 on Monday the 27th, and ends at 17:30 on Friday the 31st.
The School comprises two in-depth lecture series, each involving five 2-hours lectures ...

This event is a Workshop.
Several surveys of the large-scale structure of the Universe which significantly improve the quality and amount of cosmological data are currently underway, including the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI, halfway through), Euclid (starting to take data), Dark Energy Survey (DES, doing final analyses), HSC (data taking complete), PFS (commissioning), and ...

This event is a Workshop.
Stochastic resetting is an intriguing mechanism that is relevant in physics, chemistry, biology, ecology, engineering and economics. Arguably, the idea first emerged in 'restart' algorithms in computer science where deliberating restarting an algorithm improves convergence rates. In physics the idea of stochastically resetting a stochastic process to some initial condition ...

This event is a Workshop.
The dilaton is a hypothetical particle that emerges in the long-distance description of dynamical theories in which approximate scale invariance is spontaneously broken. Can this statement be made more precise? The classification of theories that give rise to such a particle is an ongoing challenge, for which new tools, both ...

This event is a Workshop.
The physics of self-organising active matter is a key frontier in contemporary science, bringing together theorists working in non-equlibrium physics and applied mathematics with experimentalists in fields as varied as cell biology, robotics and soft matter physics. The field has the opportunity to address deep questions in non-equilibrium physics, developmental ...

This event is a Workshop.
Physics by the Lake is the UK national summer school on theoretical condensed matter physics, aimed at PhD students towards the end of their first year. While geared towards UK students, we welcome participants worldwide.
It is organised by the Institute of Physics (IOP) Theory of Condensed Matter group. It ...
