Math-Phys Seminar by Dr. Toshifumi Noumi on May 19, 2022

Dr. Toshifumi Noumi (Kobe University) gave a pedagogical seminar on the so-called swampland program in particle physics. The program aims to clarify nontrivial consistency conditions on symmetries in quantum gravity that leave implications for particle physics and cosmology. Dr. Noumi started out with the basic philosophy of the study and expanded the details using the arguments of symmetries, blackholes, holography etc., keeping accessibility for broad audience.
