Francesco Sannino: Living on the Edge – Black Holes as Quantum Gravity Lampposts
DIAS lecture by Professor Francesco Sannino, DIAS Chair of Physics, Head of the Quantum Field Theory Center, Founder of the Centre for Cosmology and Particle Physics Phenomenology (CP³-Origins) at SDU. The lecture takes place in the DIAS Auditorium and is open to all. Abstract We live in an era marked by the LIGO Laboratory discovery of gravitational waves, emitted when two black holes coalesce, and the Event Horizon Telescope imaging of black holes. While these amazing discoveries crystallise Einstein’s theory of general relativity they also beg for a fresh look at the problem of unifying gravity and quantum field theory. These two theories constitute our current understanding of Nature but are notoriously at odds with each other. I will first review basic facts about black holes and then argue in favour of a recent approach that aims at shortcutting the problem of the absence of a theory of quantum gravity. This will be achieved by introducing a quantum gravity model independent approach focussed on effective metric descriptions of quantum black holes. We believe that our findings will herald novel ways to explore quantum corrections to black hole dynamics with impact for our understanding of the fabric of space time. About Francesco Sannino Francesco Sannino is the Head of the Quantum Field Theory Center, the Founder of the Centre for Cosmology and Particle Physics Phenomenology (CP³-Origins) at SDU. He is also one of the Founders of the Danish IAS and Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Federico II University in Italy. Professor Francesco Sannino is widely recognized for having pioneered the analytical and numerical investigations of the conformal structure of gauge theories of fundamental interactions, for the construction of minimal composite extensions of the standard model, and for the recent discovery of four-dimensional asymptotically safe theories. Recently he has also applied and developed mathematical tools stemming from theoretical physics to describe the evolution of infectious diseases at human and viral level. His work crosses several realms of particle physics and cosmology from bright and dark extensions of the standard model and inflationary cosmology to the mathematical underpinning of theories of fundamental interactions.

QM Research Seminar: Fusion categories as (quantum) symmetries: stability conditions and Morita duality
Speaker: Edmund Heng (Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques) Abstract: Classically, finite symmetries are captured by the action of a finite group. Moving to the quantum world, one has to allow for (possibly non-invertible) quantum symmetries — these are instead captured by the action of a more general algebraic structure, known as a fusion category. Such quantum symmetries are actually ubiquitous in mathematics; for example, given a category with an action of a finite group G (e.g. rep(Q), Coh(X) etc.), its G-equivariant category has instead the action of the category of representations rep(G), where rep(G) has the structure of a fusion category (and is not just a group when G is non-abelian). The aim of this talk is to introduce fusion categories and discuss their role as “quantum symmetries” in relation to Bridgeland’s stability conditions. We first introduce a generalised notion replacing “G-invariant stability conditions” in the setting of a triangulated category equipped an action of a fusion category C, which we will “C-equivariant stability conditions”. The first result is that these stability conditions form a closed submanifold of the stability manifold, just as the G-invariant stability conditions do. Moreover, given a triangulated D with a G-action, so that its G-equivariant category D^G has a rep(G)-action, we will see the following (Morita) duality result for stability conditions: the complex manifold of G-invariant stability conditions (associated to D) is homeomorphic to the complex manifold of rep(G)-equivariant stability conditions (associated to D^G). If time allows, I will discuss other more “exotic” actions of fusion categories on triangulated categories, and possibly its relation to Coxeter theory. This is part of joint work with Hannah Dell and Anthony Licata.

QM Research Seminar: Complexes of stable infinity-categories and perverse schobers
Speaker: Merlin Christ (Institut de mathématiques de Jussieu – Paris Rive Gauche) Abstract: A complex of stable infinity-categories is a categorification of a chain complex, meaning a sequence of stable infinity-categories together with a differential that squares to the zero functor. To produce examples of such categorical complexes we introduce a categorification of the totalization construction, which produces a categorical complex from a categorical multi-complex, such as a commuting cube of stable infinity-categories. We will then explain how categorified perverse sheaves, also known as perverse schobers, on C^n (with a certain stratification) can be described in terms of categorical cubes and categorical complexes of spherical functors. We will also see what categorical totalization means in this case geometrically. This talk is based on joint work with T. Dyckerhoff and T. Walde.

Cathie Jo Martin - What we talk about when we talk about poverty
Abstract Why did historical anti-poverty programs in Britain, Denmark and France differed so dramatically in their goals, beneficiaries and agents for solving poverty? Different cultural views of poverty contributed to how policymakers envisioned anti-poverty reforms. Danish elites articulated social investments in peasants as necessary to economic growth, political stability and societal strength. Britain elites viewed the lower classes as a challenge to these goals. French perceived the poor as an opportunity for Christian charity. Fiction writers are overlooked political actors in welfare reforms of the long nineteenth century. At the level of individual agency, writers are important activists in struggles over social policy reforms. They use their narratives to ascribe meaning to social problems; they help create ideologies for their social movements; they mobilize support among broader publics with their heart-wrenching novels; and they help to put neglected issues on the popular agenda. Writers may well be even more important at the structure level by collectively creating a set of enduring cultural tropes that extend across issue areas and time. I refer to these enduring tropes as a country’s “cultural constraint,” or the symbols and narratives that appear in the national-level aggregation of literature. Fiction writers inherit symbols and narratives from their literary ancestors, rework these to address the political problems of their times, and pass these on to future generations. In this way, narratives become a cultural anchoring for deliberations over social issues. To assess cross-national variations in cultural depictions of poverty, my coauthors and I use historical case studies and quantitative textual analyses of 562 British, 521 Danish and 498 French fictional works from 1700 to 1920. While fiction writers (and essayists) today are less influential in shaping perceptions of social problems than they were in the long nineteenth century (before the rise of non-print media), cultural frames continue to anchor policy deliberations over poverty and other social issues. About Cathie Jo Martin Cathie Jo Martin is professor of Political Science at Boston University and associated researcher at the Danish Center for Welfare Studies, University of Southern Denmark. Her book, Education for All? (Cambridge University Press 2023), investigates how British and Danish authors contribute to the deep cultural roots of education reform. Her previous book with Duane Swank, The Political Construction of Business Interests (Cambridge 2012) received the APSA Politics and History book award. In 2013-2014, she co-chaired with Jane Mansbridge an APSA presidential task force on political negotiation, which produced Negotiating Agreement in Politics (Brookings 2015). Martin is also author of Stuck in Neutral: Business and the Politics of Human Capital Investment Policy (Princeton 2000), Shifting the Burden: the Struggle over Growth and Corporate Taxation (Chicago 1991), and articles in the American Political Science Review, World Politics, British Journal of Political Science, Comparative Political Studies, European Journal of Sociology and Socio-Economic Review among others. Martin has received fellowships and grants from the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Russell Sage Foundation, National Endowment for the Humanities, German Marshall Fund, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Danish Social Science Research Council, Boston University Hariri Institute for Computing, BU Humanities Foundation and National Science Foundation. She received her Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1987 and an honorary doctorate from the University of Southern Denmark in October 2019.
Cross-disciplinary workshop: Cultures and emotions in the welfare state
Welfare states are more than social spending and social security schemes. Welfare states are also results of cultural and emotional underpinnings – as well as welfare states shape cultures and emotional reactions. This is not a new claim – even though we sometimes forget when debating technical solutions to the Grand Challenges or the financial sustainability of welfare states. Scholars have – among other things - highlighted the importance of religion for welfare regimes – or pointed out how welfare states (re)shape dependency cultures or affect ideas about gender and families. Or demonstrated how emotional mobilization for change can be closely connected to experiences, feelings, culture, or even specific cultural artifacts. The purpose of the workshop is to discuss such matters – and how to study them. The discussion will be based on Professor Cathie Jo Martins DIAS lecture ‘What we talk about when we talk about poverty’, taking place 11.15-12.15 in the DIAS auditorium. The workshop will include three presentations: Peter Starke & Laust Lund Elbek: ‘Tryghed’ and Security as evocative terms in Scandinavia Emily Hogg: Literature and Feminized Work Cecilie Bjerre & Klaus Petersen: Presentation of the project ‘The Danish Family Revolution: Experiences and Institutions (FREI)’ Open for all interested … Coffee and cake will be served. Registration for workshop to: lenevivi@sdu.dk

Networking - the best hack for your job search
Networking may well be the way to your next job - here's why: Through your network you can obtain knowledge about industry tendencies, specific companies and job opportunities that you can't Google your way to - and that can give you a cunning edge in your application and job search in general. 85% of Danish employers are open for networking meetings*. 42% of Danish employers indicate that they are most inclined to have a networking meeting with a job seeker whose motivation and interest in the company piques their curiosity. It is the way you approach them, and not whether there is a networking relation, that is decisive*. Therefore, it is important that you put your network into play when you are looking for your next job. During the workshop we will dive into how you map your network, become better at networking and contacting relevant people. The workshop is hosted by SDU's career counsellors and will be facilitated by career advisers from IDA who are experts on networking, and it will be a mixture of theory and tools. It is our experience, that the best output of the workshops is, when our participants comment, ask questions and are getting involved. So we hope, that you will do the same. *Ballisager's annual recruitment analysis among Danish companies across industries - 2021.
Quantum & Crémant: Exploring the mysteries of metalloenzymes in mushrooms with quantum chemistry
Speaker: Erik Donovan Hedegård Department of Physics, Chemistry and Pharmacy University of Southern Denmark Abstract: Transition metals in biological systems pose a formidable challenge in modern quantum chemistry. Unfortunately, these metals are close to everywhere in biological systems. For instance, about one-third of all enzymes contain a transition metal. The main issues when dealing with transition metals are (i) the metal typically demands so-called complete active space (CAS) methods with billions of electron configurations included. This quickly becomes computationally costly. (ii) Relativistic effects can be sizable. Addressing these effects also becomes computationally demanding. (iii) The relevant chemistry usually occurs in a surrounding solvent or within a protein environment that also needs to be taken into account, both in terms of the nuclear dynamics as well as the electronic interactions between the metal and the environment. In this talk, we demonstrate how challenges (i)–(iii) can be tackled efficiently and accurately. We discuss how this allows us to understand a part of the global carbon cycle, enzymes that can boost the production of biofuel, and new drugs against cancer. Location: D-IAS Aud. (V24-501a-0), Danish Institute for Advanced Study - DIAS. The event is open to all.

Tips and tricks for unsolicited job search
Get a piece of the pie and apply unsolicited. When asked, 83 % of Danish employers indicate that it is possible to apply unsolicited to them. Furthermore, 84 % answer, that they also mostly read the unsolicited applications they get. And 63 % of them answer, that they have tried to hire someone who applied unsolicited*. This pattern is repeated in IDA's figures, as a a total of 60% of IDA's newly graduated members get their first job by different ways than the traditional posted job - and unsolicited job search is one of the strategies. During this online workshop you will get specific tools and methods on how you proactively approach the companies by both calling and writing. In short: You’ll learn to take control of your own job search which will increase your motivation. The workshop is hosted by SDU's career counsellors, and the experts sharing their best tips at this online workshop are career advisers from IDA. The format will be a mixture of theory and tools. It is our experience, that the best output of the workshops is, when our participants comment, ask questions and are getting involved.

David Woolner - Franklin Roosevelt, Niels Bohr, and the Atomic Bomb – some unanswered questions about a dying president in his last 100 days
On April 12, 1945, a stunned world learned that Franklin D. Roosevelt, the leader who had brought the United States through the two great crises of the twentieth century, was dead. Responding to this shocking development, the Danish physicist, Niels Bohr, expressed the view that it seemed impossible to believe that “the great man, upon whom more than anyone else, the hopes of humanity were centered” was gone. What Bohr and the rest of the public did not realize, of course, was that by the spring of 1945 Franklin Roosevelt was a dying man. What’s more, his sudden disappearance from the world stage at this critical moment meant that leader who had orchestrated the alliance that would go on to defeat the forces of fascism and set the stage for the successful creation of the United Nations would not be there to witness these historic developments. Nor would he be present when his government faced one of the most daunting decisions made in human history—the decision to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Roosevelt’s absence at the dawn of the nuclear age has raised several questions about what might have happened had he lived long enough to witness the successful development of the atomic bomb. Would Roosevelt—whose knowledge of and involvement in the making of the atomic bomb was far more extensive than President Truman’s—have followed the same course of action? Or might FDR have pursued an alternative strategy for ending the war, through negotiation or a demonstration of the atomic bomb’s awesome power. Equally significant, might he have ultimately taken Bohr’s advice and shared the atomic secret with the Russians in such a way as to gain their confidence and perhaps avoid the onset of the nuclear arms race that stood at the heart of the Cold War? As discussed in this presentation, a close examination of FDR’s last 100 days in office offers some interesting clues as to what Roosevelt might have done had he lived long enough to bring the most destructive war in history to an end. About David B. Woolner: David B. Woolner is Professor of History and Kovler Foundation Fellow of Roosevelt Studies at Marist College; Senior Fellow and Resident Historian of the Roosevelt Institute; and Senior Fellow of the Center for Civic Engagement at Bard College. He is the author of The Last 100 Days: FDR at War and at Peace (Basic Books, 2017), is editor/co-editor of five books, and served as historical advisor to the Ken Burns films The Roosevelts: An Intimate History and The US and the Holocaust and for numerous special exhibitions at the FDR Presidential Library and Museum. Dr. Woolner is the recipient of the Fulbright Denmark Distinguished Scholar Award in American Studies at the University of Southern Denmark (2023-2024) and was recently named a Fulbright Specialist for the years 2021-2025 by the US Department of State’s Bureau for Educational and Cultural Affairs. From 2000-2010, Dr. Woolner served as the Roosevelt Institute’s Executive Director, overseeing a significant expansion of the organization’s budget, programmatic dimension and staff. He earned his Ph. D. and M.A. in history from McGill University and a B.A. summa cum laude in English Literature and History from the University of Minnesota. The lecture takes place in the DIAS Auditorium at Fioniavej 34. Everybody is welcome and no registration is needed.

Twins and Other Extraordinary Kinships: The Science and the Fascination
Nancy L. Segal, professor of Phycology and Director of the Twin Studies Center, at California State University, Fullerton Twins and Other Extraordinary Kinships: The Science and the Fascination Twins have a universal fascination for both scientific professionals and members of the general public. Why this is the case has been a matter of some debate, but several explanations will be suggested. Next, an overview of twin types (identical and fraternal) and the fascinating variations displayed by each type are described and illustrated (e.g., twins reared apart, biracial twins, twins with different fathers) with compelling data and case studies. Some curious, twin-like twosomes are also included, given that they are scientifically informative, as well as fascinating (virtual twins, unrelated look-alikes, switched at birth pairs). Twin research continues to grow and to flourish as more twins are being born and researchers representing diverse disciplines, such as politics, religious studies, and economics, are embracing a twin-based approach to better understand their observations. About : Dr. Nancy L. Segal is a Psychology Professor and Director of the Twin Studies Center, at California State University, Fullerton. She specializes in twin research and teaches courses in developmental psychology. She had authored nine books on twins, most recently Deliberately Divided: Inside the Controversial Study of Twins and Triplets Adopted Apart (Segal, 2021); and Gay Fathers, Twin Sons: The Citizenship Case That Captured the World (Segal, 2023)..

Quantum & Crémant: Metasurface-empowered quantum structured light in high dimensions
Speaker: Sergey I. Bozhevolnyi Center for Nano Optics University of Southern Denmark Abstract:Manipulation of single-photon emission from quantum emitters (QEs) has attracted a considerable attention in recent years due to its importance for quantum information technologies in quantum communication, computation, sensing and metrology. Here, recent progress in on-chip manipulation of the polarization, directionality and phase distribution in single-photon emission by making use of planar holographic QE-coupled metasurfaces is presented and discussed. The underlying idea is related to the concept of meta-atom, in which a QE is efficiently and non-radiatively coupled to surface modes, such as surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), that are subsequently outcoupled into free propagating waves. An innovative metasurface design approach, vectorial scattering (computer-generated) holography, is introduced for the purpose of designing hybrid SPP-QE coupled metasurfaces suitable for generation of well-collimated beams of single photons with desirable polarization characteristics propagating along given directions. Latest results include its extension for realizing single-photon sources with radiation channels that exhibit diverse (including vectorial with spin and orbital angular momenta) wavefronts and polarization characteristics, opening thereby a way to generating quantum structured light in high dimensions. Location: D-IAS Aud. (V24-501a-0), Danish Institute for Advanced Study - DIAS. The event is open to all.
