THE PHYSICAL REVIEW: Review Process & Publishing in an Open Access and Artificial Intelligence World
Speaker:Robert Wimmer (American Physical Society)
Abstract:I'll describe briefly the structure of the different Physical Review Journals (with an emphasis on PRD/PRL and OA Journals) and the review process of the Physical Review. Then I will discuss recent disruptions in science publishing by Open Acess mandates and Artificial Intelligence. The presentation will be brief, the focus should be on questions and discussions.

Non-relativistic geometry and higher-spins in the fractional quantum Hall effect
Speaker:Patricio Salgado-Rebolledo (Wroclaw Tech. U.)
Abstract: It is well-known that the low-energy regime of the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) can be described by Abelian and non-AbelianChern-Simons theories, while the corresponding chiral edge states are described by rational conformal field theories. However, other collective excitations exist in the FQHE that cannot be described by topological field theory. One example is the long-wavelengthlimit of the Girvin-MacDonald-Platzman (GMP) mode, a gapped spin-2 mode associated with an internal metric of the system, which can be described in terms of non-relativistic geometry. Moreover, in addition to the GMP mode, additional collective excitationsdescribed by non-relativistic higher-spin fields need to be introduced in the known effective field theory of the FQHE to reproduce the complete GMP algebra.

Theory predictions for top-pair production at collider experiments
Speaker:Mathieu Pellen (Uni Freiburg)
Abstract:In this presentation, I will review recent developments in the precise computation of top-pair and associated production at collider experiments. In particular, I will focus on calculations that account for off-shell and non-resonant effects. Such computations have the advantage to be directly comparable to experimental data at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) or at future lepton colliders.
