We have two speakers who will give the following talks.

1st Talk

Speaker: Mathias Driesse

Title: The infrared structure of gravity and gauge theories – a quick overview

Abstract: By studying massless electrodynamics at asymptotic infinity, I will motivate the study of the infrared structure of gauge theories and gravity. I will show that such considerations lead to an infinite number of conserved charges and have a natural connection to soft theorems. I will also briefly touch on the connection between the gravitational memory effect and Weinberg’s soft graviton theorem.

 

2nd Talk

Speaker: Moritz Kade

Title: Critical coupling of beta-deformed SYM in the strong double-scaling limit

Abstract: I will show how to extend integrability-based techniques developed for the fishnet CFT to its supersymmetric parent theory, the strong beta-deformation of SYM in the double-scaling limit. The main example covered in this talk will be the calculation of the exact value of the theory’s critical coupling.
