Today   14:00 - 15:00	Seminar: Ida Zadeh (Southampton U.) Centre for Theoretical Physics and Astronomy Title: Asymmetric Orbifolds, Rank Reduction and Heterotic Islands Abstract: Exploring unknown regions of the moduli space of 2-dimensional conformal field theories plays an important role in understanding properties of theories of quantum gravity. In this talk I will discuss a family of world-sheet conformal field theories, asymmetric orbifolds, that describe some of these unexplored loci in the moduli space. I will focus on the application of asymmetric orbifolds to toroidal...
Mon 29 Jun  - Fri 3 Jul 2026	Conference: Amplitudes 2026 Centre for Theoretical Physics and Astronomy The Centre for Theoretical Physics and Astronomy at the School of Physical and Chemical Sciences is delighted to announce that Queen Mary University of London will host Amplitudes 2026, the international conference on scattering amplitudes, from 29 June to 3 July 2026. Amplitudes is an annual international conference series focused on scattering amplitudes in quantum field theory, string theory, and related areas of high-energy theoretical physics. The series has become since its inception in...
