Speaker: Francesco Sannino, Professor
Abstract: I will first provide a mathematical classification of the various extensions of the Standard Model according to their degree of naturality.
I will then argue in favour of the existence of a dual description of the Standard Model in terms of “electric” variables, an idea inspired by Dirac electromagnetic-duality idea and the work by Seiberg for gauge-gauge duality in supersymmetric QFTs.
I will finally introduce a toy Standard Model to elucidate the crucial aspects about duality which, as I will show, can provide elegant solutions to outstanding problems such as why we have three generations and why the Standard Model could be a natural theory in plain sight.
Location: The DIAS Meetingroom Syd (V22-503a-2)
You can also join via Zoom (passcode: 060379).
The event is open to all.
