Explore dimensional transmutation and confinement phenomena across various theoretical physics models in this seminar delivered by Professor Igor Klebanov from Princeton University. Delve into the fundamental quantum field theory concepts where dimensionless coupling constants acquire mass dimensions through quantum effects, leading to the emergence of physical scales in seemingly scale-invariant theories. Examine how confinement mechanisms operate in different theoretical frameworks, understanding the conditions under which particles become bound within finite regions and cannot exist as free states. Investigate the mathematical structures underlying these phenomena and their applications across various models in quantum field theory. Gain insights into advanced topics in theoretical physics including the role of boundaries, impurities, and defects in quantum field systems, as part of the broader research programme on quantum field theory with boundaries, impurities, and defects at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences.
