Course Content
In recent years the problem of quantum quench in the vicinity of critical points has been investigated using holographic methods. This has led to an understanding of decoupling of length scales in the dynamics of slow quench and the emergence of Kibble-Zurek scaling, and provided predictions for corrections to the leading scaling behavior. In the other limit, holographic calculations have led to the discovery of new scaling laws for fast quench, which have been subsequently shown to be generic properties of deformations of any conformal field theory regardless of holography. This talk will discuss the salient aspects of this development.

The large D limit of General Relativity

Course Objective
Overview of Large D gravity
Requirement / Prerequisite
--
Course Content
General Relativity is an old theory but its dynamics remains difficult to solve and understand, in particular when strongly-gravitating objects such as black holes are involved. Although at first sight it may seem an odd idea, I will argue that it is actually quite natural to investigate the properties of this theory and its black holes in the limit in which the number of spacetime dimensions D grows to infinity. The gravitational field localizes very strongly near the black hole horizons, which simplifies dramatically the description of their interactions and allows efficient calculational approaches in an expansion in 1/D. There are also hints that this limit may lead to a reformulation of the theory in terms of low-dimensional strings. In the first part of the lectures I will discuss the broad framework and motivation for the subject, and in the second part I will focus on the dynamics of black holes at large D. Technicalities will be introduced only when necessary.

Course Objective
The goal of this lecture series is to give an overview of the current research in particle physics beyond the Standard Model.
Requirement / Prerequisite
--
Course Content
First, I will review the current theory of fundamental interactions known as the Standard Model. This theory has successfully passed an immense number of experimental tests in high-energy colliders and low-energy precision experiments. The last crucial prediction - the existence of a scalar particle known as the Higgs boson - was spectacularly confirmed 2 years ago by the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider. Yet we know that the Standard Model is not the ultimate theory of fundamental interactions. The information from neutrino oscillation experiments and from observations of the large-scale universe forces us to consider extensions of the Standard Model. I will summarize these phenomenological reasons and well as some theoretical motivations to go beyond the Standard Model. Then I will explain in more detail how one can extend the Standard Model to explain the existence of dark matter in the universe, and to account for a period of accelerated expansion at the early stage of the universe known as inflation. Finally, I will discuss how the Standard Model can be tested in the current and future high-energy colliders, and what kind of new particles and interactions we are hoping to find there.
