IAS Fundamental Physics Seminar Series - New Approaches to New Physics from Black Morsels to Standard Model Dualities

Abstract
Many observations point towards the presence of new physics, which has eluded direct discovery so far. The speaker will present two complementary novel approaches to go beyond the Standard Model. Black hole morsels could be produced in some astrophysical events such as black hole mergers, and reveal new physics via observable Hawking radiation. The Standard Model may emerge as the low energy dual of a scalarless fundamental theory. Both theoretical and observational aspects of the two approaches will be addressed.
