We are very happy to announce the first QFT-colloquium of the Summer Semester, by Tim Cohen, CERN and EPFL, Lausanne and Oregon U, next Friday April 25, 2025 at 14:00 in the usual seminar room 1.221.

Title: The geometry of particle physics

Abstract:
In this seminar, I will explain that there is a hidden geometry that
exists within the Standard Model of Particle Physics. This is due to
the modern interpretation of the Standard Model as an Effective Field
Theory. I will review this fundamental paradigm and will explain the
deep connection between Effective Field Theories and Geometry. This
geometric perspective provides key insights into the interpretation of
beyond the Standard Model physics, and opens up new and exciting
directions for future exploration.
