Graduate Mini-Course: Sectors of Supersymmetric Field Theories
Matthew Buican (QMUL)
Venue: QMW ยท Room: GOJ 610 ยท Time: 10:30 ยท Type: Informal Seminar
Abstract:
Lecture 1: "Chiral Rings, Moduli Spaces, and Conformal Manifolds."

In this lecture I will review basic aspects of chiral operators, with a special focus on 4D theories with 8 Poincare supercharges (i.e., N=2 SUSY). Using these operators, I will discuss basic aspects of moduli spaces and conformal manifolds.

Graduate Mini-Course: Sectors of Supersymmetric Field Theories
Matthew Buican (QMUL)
Venue: QMW ยท Room: GOJ 610 ยท Time: 10:30 ยท Type: Informal Seminar
Abstract:
Lecture 2: "Chiral Algebras and Higher-Dimensional Theories."
I will review briefly review the construction of chiral algebras and then focus on their relationship with a particular sub-sector of operators in higher-dimensional theories. I will again focus mostly on 4D N=2 theories.

d-Dimensional Generalised Unitarity and Colour-Kinematics duality
William Javier Torres Bobadilla (Padua U.)
Venue: QMW ยท Room: G.O. Jones 610 ยท Time: 14:00 ยท Type: Regular Seminar
Abstract:
In this talk I plan to introduce the Four-Dimensional-Formulation (FDF) regularisation scheme
proposed in arXiv:1404.4783 [hep-ph], which allows a four-dimensional representation of the d-dimensional particles propagating in the loop. Within FDF, I present the computation of one-loop QCD corrections of the processes gg>>gggg and gg>>Hggg (in the heavy top limit).
On the other hand, I show the extension of Colour-Kinematics relations in d-dimensions and their application to compute efficiently one-loop amplitudes.

Graduate Mini-Course: Sectors of Supersymmetric Field Theories
Matthew Buican (QMUL)
Venue: QMW ยท Room: GOJ 610 ยท Time: 10:30 ยท Type: Informal Seminar
Abstract:
Lecture 3: "Toward a Synthesis of Chiral Rings and Chiral Algebras."

I will aim to discuss some recent work that seeks to relate the objects introduced in the first two lectures. Given enough time, we may also discuss generalizations of these ideas.
