| Hamilton-Jacobi formalism for singular systems |
| Speaker: | Mario Bertin (Universidade Federal do ABC) |
| Abstract: | In this talk it will be shown how the construction of Carathéodory's complete figure of variational calculus, which culminates in the Hamilton-Jacobi theory, provides an adequate theoretical background to analyze systems with constraints. Initial focus will be the analysis of integrability, which can be seen as the constraint analysis itself. Other special features, such as the construction of symplectic structures, infinitesimal canonical transformations, and gauge transformations will be addressed as well. |

| Speaker: | Mark Goodsell (CERN) |
| Abstract: | WISPs, specifically the axion, axion-like particles and hidden photons, are being searched for in a wide variety of experiments and astrophysical observations. I shall discuss a little about their phenomenology, before describing how they can be found in the LARGE volume scenario, and what can be predicted for their properties. For hidden U(1)s, heterotic orbifolds can also yield interesting models and I shall describe some recent work on these. |
