Description:

This 4-day on-site workshop aims to bring together experts working on quantum field theory applied to both Hermitian and non-Hermitian systems, to open new directions in the understanding of formal aspects of quantum field theory, particularly nonperturbative effects and non-Hermitian extension of its Hermitian framework, and to explore interconnections and implications for beyond the Standard Model physics. We will in particular discuss the following four general topics:

  1. Perturbative and non-perturbative aspects of QFT
  2. PT-symmetric QM and QFT
  3. Phase transitions/False vacuum decay/Quantum tunneling
  4. Cosmology

There are no registration fees. There will be a (continental) breakfast, a lunch, and two coffee breaks provided each day without charge. Due to limited space, a maximum of 40 participants will be allowed. Participants (including non-invited speakers) will be determined upon selection when necessary.

The speakers will be required to upload their slides of their talk in PDF form to this Indico page.
