Top-Quarks at 100 TeV
Speaker:Susanne Westhoff (University of Pittsburgh)
Abstract:The international effort to build a proton-proton collider at very high energies is driven by two perspectives. We seek to search energy scales beyond the LHC reach for new physics, and to explore the electroweak standard model in its unbroken phase. In particular, the heaviest articles of the standard model, top-quarks, appear ultimately massless in processes at very high energies. I will focus on top-quark initiated processes at a 100 TeV collider and discuss ways to consistently treat the collinear enhancement from top-quarks emitted along the beam line.

Geometric compactication and conformal geometry
Speaker:Rod Gover (Auckland)
Abstract:Conformal compactification is a well established tool in GR and many related fields. The model for this construction is often taken to be the Poincare ball model of hyperbolic space. There is a refinement of this idea which reveals the Lie groups and Lie group embeddings behind conformal compactification. These structures at once generalise to the curved setting through the conformal Cartan-tractor calculus (i.e. the natural conformally invariant connection and related objects. This provides a conceptual and calculationally effective way to treat Many problems linked to conformal compactification.
