 d adjoint QCD and non-invertible topological lines</a>\nby Kantaro Ohmori 
 (Simons Center for Geometry and Physics) as part of East Asian String Webi
 nars\n\n\nAbstract\nIn ‘90s\, it is claimed that the QCD with massless a
 djoint quark in 1+1-dimensions is confined\, although naively the fermions
  cannot screen the Wilson line in the fundamental representation. In this 
 talk\, we will see that the confinement can be explained from the topologi
 cal line operators live in the theory. In particular\, non-invertible topo
 logical lines\, which do not correspond to a symmetry\, play a crucial rol
 e. Based on a ongoing work with Zohar Komargodski\, Konstantinos Roumpedak
 is and Sahand Seifnashri.\n

 maly of the electromagnetic duality of Maxwell theory</a>\nby Chang-Tse Hs
 ieh (Kavli IPMU) as part of East Asian String Webinars\n\n\nAbstract\nEver
 y physicist knows that the classical electromagnetism is described by Maxw
 ell's equations and that it is invariant under the electromagnetic duality
  S: (E\, B) → (B\, −E). However\, the properties of the electromagneti
 c duality in the quantum theory might not be as well known to physicists a
 nd are in fact not very well understood in the literature. Recently\, we u
 ncovered a feature of Maxwell theory in the situation where going around n
 ontrivial paths in the spacetime involves the action of the duality transf
 ormation\, namely that it has a quantum anomaly. We found that the anomaly
  of this system in a particular formulation is 56 times that of a Weyl fer
 mion. Our result reproduces\, as a special case\, the known anomaly of the
  all-fermion electrodynamics — a version of the Maxwell theory where par
 ticles of odd (electric or magnetic) charge are fermions — discovered in
  the last few years.\n

 stract\nQuantum modular forms are functions on rational numbers that have 
 rather mysterious weak modular properties. Mock modular forms and false th
 eta functions are examples of holomorphic functions on the upper-half plan
 e which lead to quantum modular forms. Inspired by the 3d-3d correspondenc
 e in string theory\, a new topological invariants named homological blocks
  for (in particular plumbed) three-manifolds have been proposed a few year
 s ago. My talk aims to explain the recent observations on the quantum modu
 lar properties of the homological blocks\, as well as the relation to loga
 rithmic vertex algebras. The talk will be based on a series of work in col
 laboration with Sungbong Chun\, Boris Feigin\, Francesca Ferrari\, Sergei 
 Gukov\, Sarah Harrison\, and Gabriele Sgroi.\n

 n dynamical systems is a question of interest to physicists across energy 
 scales. Inspired by classical chaos\, which addresses this question quite 
 successfully in classical physics\, out of order time correlators (OTOC) h
 ave been considered a promising approach for quantum systems. In this talk
 \, I will first discuss the relation between scrambling (as defined by exp
 onential growth of OTOC) and chaos in the semiclassical regime\, and show 
 that they can differ qualitatively (joint work with Tianrui Xu andThomas S
 caffidi). In a second part\, I will discuss scrambling in a family of gene
 ralized Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models\, which are arguably more realistic\, and
  which allow us to clarify the behavior of the Lyapunov exponent in non-ma
 xically chaotic Fermi and non-Fermi liquids (joint work with Jaewon Kim an

 nby Julian Sonner (U. Geneva) as part of East Asian String Webinars\n\n\nA
 bstract\nQuantum chaotic systems are often defined via the assertion that 
 their spectral statistics coincides with\, or is well approximated by\, ra
 ndom matrix theory. In this talk I will explain how the universal content 
 of random matrix theory emerges as the consequence of a simple symmetry-br
 eaking principle and its associated Goldstone modes. Within AdS/CFT this g
 ives a universal framework to express correlations between "different univ
 erses"\, even for individual theories rather than ensembles. I will illust
 rate the bulk picture of this EFT using the example minimal string theory.
  I will end by discussing the construction of the EFT of quantum chaos als
 o in higher dimensional field theories\, as applicable for example for hig
 her-dimensional AdS/CFT dual pairs.\n

 lected entropy for an evaporating black hole</a>\nby Yang Zhou (Fudan Univ

 s a new understanding of the black hole interior as part of the Hawking ra
 diation\, which they called island. In particular the island formula for t
 he Von Neumann entropy of Hawking radiation is consistent with unitarity. 
 In this talk I will discuss how to extract more information of the island 
 by computing the correlation in Hawking radiation. In particular we study 
 reflected entropy (as a correlation measure of mixed states) and propose a
  quantum extremal surface for reflected entropy. Based on that\, we find a

 ventures in Non-Supersymmetric String Theory</a>\nby Justin Kaidi (Simons 
 Center\, Stony Brook) as part of East Asian String Webinars\n\n\nAbstract\
 nIt has long been known that there exist strings with supersymmetry on the
  world sheet\, but not in spacetime. These include the well-known Type 0 s
 trings\, as well as a series of seven heterotic strings\, all of which are
  obtained by imposing unconventional GSO projections. Besides these classi
 c examples though\, relatively little is known about the full space of non
 -SUSY theories. One of the reasons why non-SUSY strings have remained unde
 rstudied is the fact that nearly all of them have closed string tachyons\,
  and hence do not admit ten-dimensional flat space as a stable vacuum. The
  goal of this talk is two-fold. First\, using recent advances in condensed
  matter theory\, we will reinterpret GSO projections in terms of topologic
 al phases of matter\, thereby providing a framework for the classification
  of non-SUSY strings. Having done so\, we will show that for all non-SUSY 
 theories in which a tachyon exists\, it can be condensed to give a stable 
 lower-dimensional vacuum. In many cases\, these stable vacua will be two-d
 imensional string theories already known in the literature.\n

 ct\nI will discuss the problem of bounding higher derivative couplings in

  Higher derivative couplings are expected to be of order one in the units

 he notorious difficulties presented by the graviton pole can be overcome b

 me Exact Results in QCD-like and Chiral Gauge Theories</a>\nby Hitoshi Mur
 ayama (UC Berkeley / Kavli IPMU) as part of East Asian String Webinars\n\n
 \nAbstract\nI present some exact results in QCD-like chiral gauge theories
 . They are exact when supersymmetric gauge theories are perturbed by anoma
 ly-mediated supersymmetry breaking (AMSB). Thanks to the UV-insensitivity 
 of AMSB\, SUSY results can be perturbed with no ambiguities even when appl
 ied to composite fields. I find two phases for QCD-like theories\, one wit
 h chiral symmetry breaking and another conformal. Our results for chiral g
 auge theories do not agree with what had been suggested by tumbling. We su
 ggest alternative schemes of tumbling-like interpretations. We see no evid
 ence that large SUSY breaking leads to phase transitions\, perhaps protect
 ed by holomorphy.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/EASW/25/">QF
 T\, EFT and GFT</a>\nby Aninda Sinha (Indian Institute of Science) as part
  of East Asian String Webinars\n\n\nAbstract\nI will talk about an intrigu
 ing correspondence between 2-2 scattering in quantum field theory (QFT) an
 d an area of mathematics called geometric function theory (GFT). The area 
 of GFT that we will focus on is the theory of typically real\, univalent f
 unctions which are the relevant objects to understand scattering amplitude
 s. This understanding relies heavily on a crossing symmetric dispersion re
 lation for 2-2 scattering that was recently resurrected and furthered in t
 he context of effective field theories (EFT). Time permitting\, I will exp
 lain how to get the crossing symmetric EFT-hedron in effective field theor
 ies.\n
