Regular Seminar Daniel Litim (University of Sussex)
at: 13:15 room Lecture theatre 3, Blackett building abstract: | Free or interacting UV fixed points play a key role in the fundamental definition of QFT. In this talk, I give a broad overview of weakly and strongly interacting fixed points in 3d and 4d QFTs including models of particle physics with or without supersymmetry, and fermionic theories. Further, I explain methods and ideas to search for fixed points in 4d quantum gravity. Implications from the viewpoint of CFTs and higher-spin gauge theories through the AdS/CFT conjecture are also discussed. |
