| Renormalization in large-N QCD and open/closed string duality |
| Speaker: | Marco Bochicchio (INFN Roma) |
| Abstract: | We demonstrate that the asymptotic freedom and renormalization group imply that the large-N ’t Hooft expansion of the YM S matrix is ultraviolet(UV)finite nonperturbatively,while the large-N expansion of the QCD S matrix is only renormalizable,due to UV divergences starting from the order of N_f/N,with N_f the number of quark flavors.We investigate the compatibility of the aforementioned renormalization properties with the existence of a supposed canonical string solution, matching the topology of ’t Hooft large-N expansion,for the S matrix of large-N YM theory and QCD.The UV finiteness of the large-N YM S matrix is compatible with the universally believed UV finiteness of closed string theories.Yet,we demonstrate that the aforementioned renormalization properties of the large-N QCD S matrix to the order of N_f/N are incompatible with the open/closed string duality of the would-be .... |

| A molecular view of water at the SiO2 and TiO2 interface disturbed by flow and photons |
| Speaker: | Ellen Backus (University of Vienna, Department of Physical Chemistry and Max-Planck-Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz/Germany) |
| Abstract: | In this talk we will discuss non-equilibrium phenomena at two solid-liquid interfaces. In the first part of the talk we study the silica interface in contact with water under flowing conditions. We present a direct way to measure the dissolution rate of silica, a mineral of geological significance, in contact with water. We find that on a surprisingly short timescale of tens of hours, the interfacial concentration of dissolution products saturates at a level close to the solubility of silica (~ millimolar). In the second part we will look into light induced processes at the TiO2 water interface. Although it is very well known that hydrogen can be produced at the TiO2-water interface under influence of sunlight, the fundamentals of the process remain ill-understood. Here, we use sum frequency generation spectroscopy (SFG), an inherently surface sensitive tool, to study this interface. We |

| Matching non-relativistic EFT and dispersion relations for η → 3π decays |
| Speaker: | Jan Lüdtke (Univ. Wien) |
| Abstract: | The decay of an eta meson into three pions is exactly forbidden in the isospin limit.
In fact it can be shown that the amplitude is proportional to a ratio of quark masses involving the difference of the squared up and down quark masses making it an ideal process to study the strength of isospin breaking in the strong sector. In this talk I will introduce three different formalisms to describe the decay amplitude: chiral perturbation theory, dispersion relations and non-relativistic EFT. I will point out the strengths and weaknesses of the different formalisms and show how one can ideally combine them to describe the momentum dependence and extract the quark mass ratio.
