Europe/Rome Abstract: One of the biggest differences between differential geometry and algebraic geometry is the presence of singularities. In particular, the study of their resolutions constitutes a huge branch in algebraic geometry. In this seminar I will show some useful techniques in resolutions of singularities (especially in dimension 2 & 3). I will try to explain the groups theory aspect of this story in terms of crepant resolutions and Mckay correspondence. http://users.ictp.it/~arincon/AGS.html SISSA ICTP pio@ictp.it

Speaker(s): Michele Graffeo (SISSA)

Seminar Start Time: 16:00

Europe/Rome Abstract: We have a "Standard Model" of elementary particle physics which successfully describes the subnuclear interactions at the energies of our current experiments, including those at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. However, this model is manifestly incomplete. It raises questions that can only be answered if there are additional fundamental interactions at still higher energies. How far do we need to go? I will argue that achieving 30 TeV in the quark or lepton center of mass system is the next important milestone for our particle accelerators. How will we get there? There is no solution today, but many lines of research have been opened. I will discuss the proposed technologies using proton-proton, muon-muon, electron-positron, and photon-photon colliders. Michael Peskin is a theoretical elementary particle physicist. He received his Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1978. After postdoctoral appointments at Harvard Unversity and Cornell, he joined the faculty of the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory at Stanford University in 1982. A theme that runs through much of his work is the use of high-precision measurements at the highest energy lepton and hadron colliders to search for new interactions beyond the particle physics Standard Model. He is the author of the textbooks "An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory", with Daniel Schroeder, and, very recently, "Concepts of Elementary Particle Physics".

Address: Strada Costiera 11 34151 Trieste Italy

Room: Leonardo Building - Budinich Lecture Hall

Speaker(s): Professor Michael E. Peskin, SLAC National Accelerator Lab, Stanford University, USA

Colloquium Start Time: 16:30

Europe/Rome We explore the intriguing spatial patterns that emerge in a two-dimensional spatially inhomogeneous Katz-Lebowitz-Spohn (KLS) driven lattice gas with attractive nearest-neighbor interactions. The domain is split into two regions with hopping rates governed by different temperatures T > T_c and T_c, respectively, where T_c indicates the critical temperature for phase ordering, and with the temperature boundaries oriented perpendicular to the drive. In the hotter region, the system behaves like the (totally) asymmetric exclusion processes (TASEP), and experiences particle blockage in front of the interface to the critical region. To explain this particle density accumulation near the interface, we have measured the steady-state current in the KLS model at T > T_c and found it to decay as 1/T. In analogy with TASEP systems containing "slow" bonds, transport in the high-temperature subsystem is impeded by the lower current in the cooler region, which tends to set the global stationary particle current value. This blockage is induced by the extended particle clusters, growing logarithmically with system size, in the critical region. We observe the density profiles in both high-and low-temperature subsystems to be similar to the well-characterized coexistence and maximal-current phases in (T)ASEP models with open boundary conditions, which are respectively governed by hyperbolic and trigonometric tangent functions. Yet if the lower temperature is set to T_c, we detect marked fluctuation corrections to the mean-field density profiles, e.g., the corresponding critical KLS power law density decay near the interfaces into the cooler region. If the temperature interface is aligened parallel to the drive, we observe the cooler region to act as an absorbing sink for particle transport, with blockages emerging at the subsystem boundaries.

Europe/Rome Motzkin spin chains and their area-weighted deformations are a countinuous family of one-dimensional frustration-free Hamiltonians, whose ground states exhibit a novel quantum phase transition. By tuning a single parameter, they go from a phase obeying an area law to a highly entangled rainbow phase, where the half-chain entropy scales with the volume. Using the representation of these ground states as superpositions of random walks, we introduce tensor networks for these ground states where local and global rules of the walker are baked into bulk tensors, thereby providing an efficient description of the ground states (some of which satisfy a volume law scaling of entanglement entropy).

Joint ICTP/SISSA Statistical Physics Seminar: Motzkin Spin Chains and their Exact Holographic Tensor Network Representations

Speaker(s): Zhao ZHANG (Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, People's Republic of China)

Seminar Start Time: 11:00

Europe/Rome Abstract. In this talk, I will discuss holographic entanglement entropy beyond the classical limit. The classical contribution to the entanglement entropy is given by the area of the Ryu-Takayanagi surface, and Faulkner, Lewkowycz and Maldacena showed that the quantum corrections arise from the bulk entanglement entropy across the RT surface. All fields in the low-energy effective field theory contribute to the bulk entanglement entropy, including gauge fields and gravitons for which it is notoriously difficult to factorize the Hilbert space. I will consider the bulk entanglement entropy for photons and gravitons in AdS_3/CFT_2, which enables an exact computation due to the topological nature of the degrees of freedom. In the vacuum where the CFT answer is fixed by symmetry, I will show that the effect of the bulk entanglement entropy is to renormalize Newton's constant. For excited states, I will show a perfect agreement between the bulk and CFT answers. ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome During mitosis, microtubules form a spindle, which is responsible for the segregation of chromosomes. In yeast cells, the spindle has a rod-like structure and is made of microtubules emanating from two poles connected by cross-linking proteins. Microtubules self-organize into parallel or antiparallel bundles, depending on whether they grow from the same or two different poles and our goal here is understanding how such structures form. Our model includes thermally driven angular pivoting of microtubules around the poles and elastic forces between them mediated by cross-linking proteins, which can detach to and detach from microtubules, as well as move along them. The solutions of our model imply that the random motion of the microtubules allows them to find their pair, while the short-range interactions caused by the cross-linking proteins align them into bundles. Parallel bundling can occur in the presence of either passive crosslinkers or plus-end directed motors, while the formation of antiparallel bundles requires minus-end directed motors. The model predicts the average bundling time, which is in agreement with our experimental measurements. Additionally, for the case of antiparallel bundle formation, the model predicts that the velocity of the microtubules gliding along each other is the same as the velocity at which the motors move along the microtubules, and this was also confirmed experimentally. In conclusion, the main contributors to the formation of microtubule bundles are angular diffusion of microtubules around the poles allowing them to come into contact and short-range forces caused by cross-linking proteins that align them.

Europe/Rome The celebrated fluctuation relations (Crook's fluctuation theorem, Jarzinsky's identity, Gallavotti-Cohen symmetry etc.) express the time-irreversibility of an open system's evolution and link it to thermodynamic quantities such as entropy production, dissipated work etc. In a way, they provide stochastic formulations of the Second Law of thermodynamics. In this lecture I will provide the simplest possible derivation of fluctuation relations and discuss the possibility of generalizing them in the case where the observer has partial information about the system. I will also briefly touch on the formulation of fluctuation relations for quantum systems. ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it

Seminar Start Time: 16:00

Europe/Rome Abstract: The density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG), based on matrix product states (MPS), is arguably the most successful group of algorithms in the tensor network framework and has established itself as the leading method for one-dimensional model Hamiltonians in equilibrium and to a large extent also out of equilibrium. The question is, of course, can we go beyond that? In this talk, I want to review progress made in the development of time-dependent simulations over the last few years, and show how it has been instrumental in allowing powerful applications in the field of more realistic material simulations for correlated matter when combined with the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). Finally, I want to show how automated modifications of the underlying single-particle bases allow much more powerful simulations for two-dimensional model Hamiltonians such as the Hubbard model, a development which is still in its early stages.

Europe/Rome There is an urgent need to enhance the resilience of developing countries to climate and weather shocks in order to foster sustainable development. Better management of current climate variability can help societies better adapt to future climate change. For example, effective use of sub-seasonal to seasonal forecasts of rainfall hold the promise of effective early warning systems for floods and droughts, and actionable information for decision makers in agriculture, water management, and public health. Meanwhile, robust use of climate change scenarios can inform longer term policy decisions on time-scales of decades. For these applications, it is essential to build capacities for researchers, policy-makers and practitioners in developing countries to appropriately use climate information for evidence-based planning, and to apply a systems thinking lens towards discerning how climate considerations weave into interconnected sectoral issues. This one-week workshop therefore highlights the need for mainstreaming the integration of climate information into systems across sectors. Researchers and policy-makers need to understand the basics of climate data and their sources and uncertainties, and to become familiar with simple techniques for processing and distilling these into useful information for different scenarios or contexts. To achieve this, a lectures combined with hands-on exercises will be implemented. Participating researchers and practitioners will guided towards the application of concepts and techniques learned towards specific applications in their respective sectors, which will serve as the culminating activity of the workshop. TOPICS: Sources of climate data (e.g. IPCC Climate Atlas, Copernicus C3S, ERA5, CMIP, CORDEX, hydro-met agencies) Basic Linux-based techniques for processing climate data Use of RS-GIS for climate-related applications Systems approach to the climate-land-energy-water nexus For travel arrival and general information please click below Manila - Philippines ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome The International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) and the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS) are organizing a joint winter school on quantitative systems biology. This is the 8th school in the series and will be held at ICTS, Bengaluru, India. https://www.icts.res.in/program/qsb2019 QSB2019 is an advanced school aimed at graduate students and postdocs working in quantitative systems biology. The focus this year is on 'morphogenesis'. The main school will be held between December 9-20, 2019 and will be preceded by a pedagogic and intensive ‘Pre-School’ between December 3-6, 2019. The Pre-School will cover the basic concepts in cell and developmental biology and will have short modules on mathematical modelling and physical approaches to biology. The deadline for applications is 1 September 2019. The development of an organism from a single-celled zygote to an embryo involves a tight integration between gene expression, signaling and mechanochemical processes. In recent years, there has been an explosion in studies that attempt to unravel the physical principles behind how organisms self-organize to generate their three-dimensional shape and functional form. Novel microscopy techniques are giving unprecedented views into the processes of development at very high spatiotemporal resolution. This deluge of data necessitates a larger scale systems-level understanding how organisms build themselves. The eighth edition of the ICTP - ICTS winter school on quantitative systems biology is focussed on Morphogenesis and will allow students from different backgrounds to become familiar with exciting developments at the interface of Physics and Developmental Biology. The participants of the school will be exposed to contemporary research areas, covering a large variety of topics, including mechanochemical pattern formation, regeneration and growth regulation, evolutionary-developmental biology. The school will emphasize how major questions in developmental biology such as stem cell differentiation, morphogenesis, tissue patterning, and tissue mechanics, can be asked with the help of quantification and physical theory.

Europe/Rome Animal groups on the move are a paradigmatic example of collective behavior in social species in which the tools of statistical physics can be fruitfully used. I will present an experimental and theoretical study of spontaneous rapid collective turns in natural flocks of starlings in which we find a sound-like propagation of the turning decision across the flock with no damping of information. This is in contrast with standard theories of collective animal behavior based on alignment, which predict a much slower, diffusive spread of information. We propose a novel theory for propagation of orientation in flocks whose key ingredient is the existence of a conserved spin current generated by the gauge symmetry of the system. Moreover, our analysis reveals that spontaneous collective turns are triggered by persistent localized fluctuations in the travel direction of some individuals in the flock. Two crucial ingredients which enhance the effect of such noise leading to collective changes of state are: the non-symmetric nature of interaction between individuals and the presence of heterogeneities in the topology of the interaction network.

Europe/Rome The aim of the Winter College is to offer Ph.D. students and early career researchers training in quantum optics and quantum information. The College will also offer insight in the new quantum technologies involving the generation and manipulation of photonic and matter-like states. Quantum Optics, which studies how individual quanta of light interact with atoms and molecules, has been one of the most active research fields in the last years. Such endeavours have led to a deep understanding of the fundamental properties of light-matter interaction and its use to control and engineer quantum systems. Currently, taking advantage from properties like entanglement, nonlocality and coherence, photons and atoms are the key elements for quantum technologies applications. In particular, quantum information science has flourished everywhere in the world, including developing countries.

Europe/Rome SCHOOL AND WORKSHOP Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) represents a major challenge to public health worldwide. Mobile elements such as plasmids play a crucial role in Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) and AMR spread. Understanding plasmid evolution and mobility is fundamental to unravel the population genetics of plasmid-encoded genes, especially antibiotic genes. The combination of breakthroughs in sequencing and computational approaches has led to a new vision of the eco-evolutionary processes involved in HGT dynamics of pathogens. The School and Workshop will focus on modelling efforts to integrate genomic, experimental and computational results, to build a unified framework to tackle the expansion of plasmid-borne AMR. The Workshop will be preceded by the one-week introductory School on bacterial evolution, population genetics and epidemiology. The School introduces general concepts in those disciplines and focuses on their applications to AMR and plasmids. State-of-the-art methods used in genetic research on plasmids will be covered. Invited Speakers and Lecturers include: Stephanie Bedhomme, CEFE/CNRS, Montpellier Sebastian Bonhoeffer, ETH Zurich Alessandra Carattoli, Sapienza University, Rome Trinad Chakraborty, JLU Gießen Teresa Coque, Hospital Universitario Ramón y Cajal Marco Cosentino Lagomarsino, IFOM and University of Milan Alejandro Couce, Imperial College London Luca Ferretti, Big Data Institute, Oxford Jacopo Grilli, ICTP Lars Hansen, University of Copenhagen Michael Lässig, University of Cologne Bruce Levin, Emory University James McInerney, University of Manchester Itzik Mizrahi, Ben-Gurion University Romualdo Pastor-Satorras, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya Chiara Poletto, INSERM - Sorbonne University Adam Roberts, LSTM, Liverpool Alvaro San Millan, IRYCIS, Madrid Kornelia Smalla, Julius Kühn-Institut, Braunschweig Willem Van Schaik, University of Birmingham Arjan de Visser, Wageningen University Rob Willems, UMC Utrecht Applications for the Workshop ONLY can be submitted here Applications for both the School and the Workshop can be submitted here ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome ICTP and SISSA, in collaboration with the partner institutions of the International Master Course in Physics of Complex Systems, organize the Spring College on the Physics of Complex Systems from 24 February to 20 March 2020. Many complex systems in physics, biology, engineering and economics are characterized by a large number of interacting degrees of freedom giving rise to a non-trivial collective behavior. The theoretical and computational tools for a quantitative analysis of complex systems are often rooted in modern (statistical, quantum) physics. The Spring College on the Physics of Complex Systems gives students the opportunity to get in touch with a selection of topics at the forefront of research during an intensive 4-week program. It consists of 5 courses of 9 lectures each, followed by final written tests. Lecturers and Courses: Mahesh Bandi (OIST, Okinawa, Japan) Fluctuations and Information in Physical Systems Ramakrishna Ramaswamy (Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, India) Synchrony in nonlinear dynamical systems Sidney Redner (Santa Fe Institute, New Mexico, USA) A Kinetic View of Statistical Physics Alessandro Silva (SISSA, Trieste, Italy) Quantum systems out of equilibrium Lenka Zdeborova (CNRS, Paris, France) Statistical Mechanics toolbox for Machine Learning Students and young researchers from all countries that are members of the United Nations, UNESCO or IAEA may apply for the College. Candidates are required to solicit recommendation letters to be sent by their supervisors in support of their application. Participants should have an adequate working knowledge of English. As a rule, travel and subsistence expenses of the participants should be borne by their home institutions. However, limited funds are available to partially support some participants, who are nationals of, and working in, a developing country, and who are not more than 45 years old. Such support is limited and candidates should make every effort to secure support for their travel, at least partial. Attendance of lectures and completion of the final written tests are mandatory for those who are granted ICTP funding. There is no registration fee. RULES FOR PARTICIPATION Participants with financial support from the ICTP and Master PCS students are required to attend at least 80% of the courses. Attendance is monitored regularly. Taking the final exam for each course is mandatory for participants with financial support from the ICTP and Master PCS students. Grading system: Each course will be graded on a scale from 0 to 20. Marks higher than 10 correspond to pass. A final grade will be given for the overall Spring College with the following scale: E- Excellent - 5 exams passed A- Very Good - 4 exams passed B- Good - 3 exams passed C- Sufficient - 2 exams passed F- Fail - 1 or no exams passed Certificates of attendance will be awarded only to participants who have attended at least 80% of the courses, with no exception.

Europe/Rome Nano/mesoscale mechanical and rheological response with dissipation has become, thanks to the very broad range of experimental/theoretical approaches, a novel local diagnostic and even spectroscopic tool, as well as a playground of sophisticated non-equilibrium statistical physics. The physics of nanoscale mechanical dissipation is relevant to sliding nanofriction, to technological themes such as lubrication or finger-touchscreen friction, to soft and granular matter, to nanofrictional emulation in optical lattices, to active matter, to quantum and classical processes in noncontact AFM, and beyond. Between condensed matter physics, nanomechanics, materials science and engineering, this interdisciplinary area is of considerable conceptual value as a modern subject in non-equilibrium physics, and of the potential relevance of neighbouring fields such as fatigue, wear, lubrication, rheology, and biomechanics. As is well established in ICTP Trieste since 1995, we will collect the world community active in these fields, including groups in emerging countries, mixing theoretical, simulation and experimental highlights, and identifying future directions of motion of research in this lively arena. Topics: From dissipation to superlubricity Atomistic friction of 2D layered materials Nanomanipulation and dynamics of nano-objects at surfaces Tribology of confined systems and lubricants under shear Frictional dynamics in soft and active matter Friction in powders and granular systems Fundamentals of friction theory Electronic, magnetic and quantum friction Surface and bulk processes and transitions detected by noncontact AFM dissipation Tribochemistry, triboelectricity, biotribological effects Trends in experimental and computational techniques Participants are encouraged to submit abstracts of proposed poster contributions.

Europe/Rome The aim of the conference is to give young researchers from academia and industry the opportunity to gather and present their results related to high-dimensional statistical problems, as arising in machine learning, inference or statistical physics. The focus is on the analytical and rigorous technics that allow to study i) the information theoretic limits and phase transitions phenomena; ii) the algorithmic limits; and iii) the rough energy landscapes arising in these problems. Typical problems in high-dimensions include the detection and estimation of noisy signals (compressed sensing, PCA and tensor decomposition etc), the analysis of (deep) neural-networks and their learning and generalization dynamics, the detection of communities in large networks, or disordered spin systems. While these problems may seem of different natures, they actually share many similarities in their common phenomenology and the tools used to analyze them. The core of the field is made of a very active, diverse and quickly expanding community of physicists, computer scientists, mathematicians, information theorists and engineers, with the common desire to tackle increasingly challenging problems at the forefront of data science. This conference aims at reenforcing the links among this interdisciplinary community, and in particular of its youngest theory-oriented members, and to bring forward the latest development happening in the high-dimensional world. Topics: • High-dimensional probability and statistics • Theoretical machine learning • Theoretical computer science • High-dimensional inference and signal processing • Information theory • Statistical physics of disordered systems Speakers: A.

Europe/Rome Life is a nonequilibrium phenomenon, requiring the constant consumption of energy to circumvent the pernicious effects of fluctuations. Recent advances in experimental techniques and in the theory of nonequilibrium processes offer new opportunities for the study of fluctuations in biological systems. What are the energetic costs of key processes needed to sustain life at the cellular level? What statistical features are unique in biological systems? How can we harvest energy efficiently from living matter? What is the biological relevance of fundamental results such as the fluctuation theorems and the thermodynamic uncertainty relation? This workshop aims at gathering active scientists (experimentalists and theorists) from different domains across physics and biology who have made significant contributions to address fluctuations in living systems. The workshop will provide a unique framework for researchers from developing countries to establish a scientific dialogue with their counterparts from around the world performing cutting-edge research in physics and biology. Students and early career scientists will get a flavour of the possibilities and outstanding questions in biophysics. The aim of the workshop is to discuss existing efforts on understanding nonequilibrium fluctuations using biological and physical methods, but more importantly, to identify future questions in this domain and the collaborations that will help to answer them. Key topics include: Sensory systems, oscillators and memory Active matter Cytoskeleton and membrane dynamics Molecular motors Nonequilibrium thermodynamics CALL FOR APPLICATIONS OPENING SOON ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome The School is a certificate course providing specialized education and training on development and implementation of knowledge management programmes in nuclear science and technology organizations. It is intended for young professionals in current or future leading roles in managing nuclear knowledge. Jointly organized by ICTP and the IAEA since 2004, this Nuclear Knowledge Management (NKM) School focuses on methodologies and practices, and explores various dimensions of nuclear knowledge management. These include processes and tools, challenges and benefits, culture influence, relationship with human resource development, IT for knowledge preservation and sharing. Learning is supplemented with real life examples from NKM programmes in different types of nuclear organizations. The aim is to encourage ‘forward thinking’ and to enable participants to apply theory and insights in their daily work. Pre-training is done via e-learning for a common understanding of the basics, allowing a more efficient interaction with peers and lecturers during the in-class School. Lectures at the ICTP by recognized experts are followed by case studies, practical work and breakout sessions where participants will have the opportunity to discuss issues and solutions. NKM group projects are also developed over the week.

Europe/Rome The goal is to bring together leading researchers worldwide in complex analysis, geometry, and dynamics, with the aim of enhanced future collaboration. These fields are strongly interrelated, and in order to be able to solve deep challenging problems it is becoming necessary to pursue synergies among them to a bigger degree than in the past. Topics: Holomorphic approximation theory L2 techniques, plurisubharmonic functions, complex pluripotential theory Complex dynamics in higher dimensions Holomorphic directed systems, contact systems Applications of complex analysis to minimal surfaces Flexibility versus rigidity in complex geometry Cauchy-Riemann geometry Monge-Ampėre equations and Kähler manifolds There have been major recent advances in all these topics which the speakers will report on. It is becoming increasingly evident that a deeper level of cooperation will be needed for further progress. ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome CALL FOR APPLICATIONS OPENING SOON Dynamical Systems and Ergodic Theory constitute a vibrant and exciting field of current research in pure mathematics, with lots of connections to other areas such as probability theory, differential geometry, ODEs, and potential applications to such diverse areas as natural and biological sciences, economics, engineering, climate and disease modeling and many others. It can be thought of as a modern development of classical theories of Differential Equations and the fundamental concepts and guiding ideas go back more than a century to pioneering thinkers such as Poincare’, Birkhoff and Kolmogorov. Its interest and importance has only grown in time and several Fields Medals have been awarded in the area. The present Workshop is part of a long standing tradition of Dynamical Systems and Ergodic Theory activities at ICTP that was initiated by J. Palis and C. Zeeman in the early 1980s, and continued by Ya. Sinai, J.-C. Yoccoz and others. It will address a wide range of topics in this field, including: • dynamics of one-dimensional maps • homoclinic and heteroclinic behavior, fractal dimensions • partially hyperbolic systems, dominated splittings • singular hyperbolic flows • conservative dynamics, KAM theory • dynamics in homogeneous spaces • billiards, interval exchanges, Teichmüller flows • dynamics of rational and entire functions • symbolic dynamics, thermodynamic formalism • stochastic behavior of deterministic systems • Lyapunov exponents, nonuniform hyperbolicity The list of invited speakers reflects the diversity of these subjects. Their lectures will constitute the basis of the programme, but posters sessions are also planned, which will give participants an opportunity to present their works. PARTICIPATION Scientists and students from all countries which are members of the United Nations, UNESCO or IAEA may attend the School. As it will be conducted in English, participants should have an adequate working knowledge of that language. Although the main purpose of the Centre is to help research workers from developing countries, through a programme of training activities within a framework of international cooperation, students and post-doctoral scientists from developed countries are also welcome to attend. As a rule, travel and subsistence expenses of the participants should be borne by the home institution. Every effort should be made by candidates to secure support for their fare (or at least half-fare). However, limited funds are available for some participants. Priority for funding will be given to candidates who are nationals of, and working in, a developing country. HOW TO APPLY FOR PARTICIPATION The online application form can be accessed on the activity's website. Once in the website, comprehensive instructions will guide you step-by-step, on how to fill out and submit the application form.
