Modalità esame

Seminar

Note modalità di esame

A seminar on a cutting-edge topic discussed during the academic year.

Prerequisiti

Primarily PhD students, as well as fourth- and fifth-year undergraduates.

Programma

A series of seminars by external experts, with occasional contributions from internal speakers, dedicated to cutting-edge research in Theoretical Physics. The seminars will address key topics of current interest, including the Standard Model and its extensions, effective field theories, supersymmetry, supergravity, string theory, their applications to particle physics and cosmology, and higher-spin field theories. The program also includes the Colloquia of the Class of Sciences, held monthly, which provide broad, accessible reviews of significant topics in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics.

Obiettivi formativi

The course aims to introduce students to cutting-edge topics in Theoretical Physics, including those actively researched at Scuola Normale Superiore, while providing opportunities to engage with specialists in various areas of the field.
