Prof. Dr. Daniele Oriti, Professor of Theoretical Physics, Universidad Complutense de Madrid What is time? What is space? Our best current theory of gravity, i.e. General Relativity, teaches us that gravity is spacetime geometry, thus that spacetime itself is a physical system. Moreover, we have by now many reasons to believe that we need to…

Andrea Favorito, PhD Student at Institute for Theoretical Physics, ETH Zürich Surveys of the large-scale structure of the Universe are becoming increasingly precise. A key theoretical framework for interpreting this data and constraining cosmological models is the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure (EFTofLSS), a particle-physics–inspired approach to modelling cosmic clustering beyond linear order. In…

Prof. Dr. Mikaela Iacobelli, Associate Professor of Mathematics, ETH. This talk will explore some fundamental issues in the mathematics of plasmas, focusing on the stability and instability of solutions to Vlasov-type equations, which are crucial for describing the behavior of charged particles in a plasma. A general introduction to kinetic theory is given, making the…

Dr. Simon León Krug, Postdoc at Dep. of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences, ETH Zürich Theoretical physics is a multi-faceted field encompassing an abundance of disciplines, often times only sharing one language: math. Of particular importance for my research since my Master’s has been complex analysis, in particular integrals. Although I changed disciplines twice since then,…
