We have a weekly Journal Club every Friday from 11:30 to 13 CET and you are of course welcome to join us — either in-person in the DIAS Meetingroom Syd (V22-503a-2) or virtual via Zoom (passcode: 060379).
Generally, we discuss recent noteworthy papers, which are relevant for our research fields, or we host talks on very different topics of theoretical physics.
If you are interested, you can write us an email, and we will add you to our mailing list for future talks.

Journal Club: PBHs and Primordial non-gaussianity: from their abundance to gravitational waves
Speaker: Antonio Iovino, master student Abstract: The recent data releases by multiple pulsar timing array (PTA) experiments show evidence for Hellings-Downs angular correlations indicating that the observed stochastic common spectrum can be interpreted as a stochastic gravitational wave background. We study whether the signal may originate from gravitational waves induced by high-amplitude primordial curvature perturbations. Such large perturbations may be accompanied by the generation of a sizeable primordial black hole (PBH) abundance. We discuss in which scenarios the inclusion of non-Gaussianities in the computation of the abundance can lead to a signal compatible with the PTA experiments without overproducing PBHs. Eventually we briefly discuss other astrophysical and cosmological explanations for the PTA data.

Journal Club: Quantum Black Hole Physics from the Event Horizon
Speaker: Manuel Del Piano, PhD student Abstract: In the realm of quantum gravity theories, predictions suggest deviations from classical black hole solutions. One promising avenue for exploring these deviations is through a model-independent approach that utilizes metric deformations parameterized by physical quantities like proper distance. While this approach preserves the space-time's invariance under coordinate transformations, practical computations are daunting due to the dependence of distance on the deformed metric. Our study focuses on spherically symmetric and static metrics, aiming to establish a self-consistent framework for computing the distance function near black hole event horizons. We achieve this by introducing a minimal level of regularity at the horizon, allowing us to derive explicit (series) expansions of the metric. This advancement enables us to calculate essential thermodynamic quantities, such as the Hawking temperature and entropy, using model-independent expressions that extend beyond the limitations of large mass expansions. Moreover, we investigate the implications of imposing conditions like the absence of curvature singularities at the event horizon. Surprisingly, we uncover violations of these conditions in certain existing models, highlighting the need for further refinement and exploration in the field of quantum gravity and black hole physics.

Journal Club: How I (machine) learned the quantum many-body problem
Speaker: Pietro Butti Abstract: Neural network quantum states (NNQS) represent a novel approach in quantum many-body physics using techniques inspired by artificial neural networks combined with standard variational Monte-Carlo methods. The growing computational and algorithmic capabilities make this method comparable to standard state-of-the-art methodologies while offering promising advantages. It can leverage extensive research in machine learning and easily integrate with existing libraries, simplifying code development in an unprecedented way. This accessibility and versatility make it appealing for developing new applications, even beyond quantum many-body physics itself. The purpose of this talk is to provide a thorough introduction of the topic with the help of some practical example.

Journal Club: Information Geometry in Epidemiology and Population Dynamics
Speaker: Stefan Hohenegger, Senior Researcher Abstract: In this talk I introduce basic concepts in information theory and apply them to epidemiology and population dynamics: I start by reformulating simple evolution models in terms of probability distributions. This allows me to construct the Fisher information, which I interpret as the metric of a one-dimensional differentiable manifold. For systems that can be effectively described by a single degree of freedom, I show that their time evolution is fully captured by this metric. In this way, I extract universal features across seemingly very different models. This further motivates a reorganisation of the dynamics around zeroes of the Fisher metric, corresponding to extrema of the probability distribution. Concretely, I propose a simple form of the metric for which I analytically solve the dynamics of the system that well approximates the time evolution of various established models in epidemiology and population dynamics, thus providing a unifying framework.
