Seminar by Yannick Saintigny, EU Affairs Senior Officer, French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) Building an interdisciplinary project, conduct it and succeed!

Dr. Sobreiro is a professor at Universidade Federal Fluminense, Brazil, and is currently visiting OIST for 2 weeks.

Similar to the popular "3 Minute Thesis" event that happened at OIST last year, you will be given the opportunity to present your research in 200 seconds. The event is a great way to get a look at the diversity of the research happening at OIST, and for those who talk, to hone their presentation skills.

Speaker: Dr. Axel Pérez-Obiol, Kochi University of Technology, Japan Abstract: We consider BECs on 1D rings at zero temperature stirred by a link. Their spectrum is theoretically analyzed, consisting in dark and gray solitonic trains, and vortex states comoving with the link. We show how to produce these states by adiabatically stirring the condensate from its ground sate: through specific cycles where the velocity and the strength of the link are gradually tuned. The general properties of the spectrum and cycles are studied through the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with a delta-type link and in the comoving frame. A set of specific cycles to excite the BEC are reproduced by simulations of the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii with a rotating Gaussian link. More on arXiv:1907.04574.

Title : BMS Symmetry and OPE of Celestial CFTs

Speaker: Sudip Ghosh

Abstract: The holographic dual of quantum gravitational theories in asymptotically flat spacetimes has recently been conjectured to be the so called celestial conformal field theories whose correlation functions are Mellin transforms of bulk scattering amplitudes. In this talk I will discuss aspects of a derivation of the OPE in these CFTs from the collinear singularities of graviton scattering amplitudes and the constraints of BMS symmetries on the OPE coefficients.

Innovation Seminar: Thomas Ishoey, Ph.D.

From Single Cells to Biotechnology Innovation

Microorganisms represent the oldest living forms and reside in virtually all environments capable of supporting life on the planet. The seminar will focus on how establishing basic understanding of microbes in their environment can lead to commercial opportunities across diverse industries.

I will present two examples in which the behavior of canonical models from statistical mechanics are controlled using growth. These examples were initially motivated by thinking about growth in living systems, but the results presented are applicable to growing active matter in general.
