Spectrum of Invertible Phases
Rui Wen
Abstract
Invertible phases of matter are closely related to homotopy theory. Kitaev famously proposed that invertible phases in different spatial dimensions organize into a spectrum. Several recent works have sought to establish this proposal rigorously. In this talk, I will introduce the notion of a spectrum and review Kitaev’s argument, then discuss recent progress toward proving his conjecture.

Holographic Krylov Complexity
Chris Couzens
Abstract
Krylov complexity is a powerful diagnostic of operator growth in quantum many-body systems. It has recently been applied to holography, where it is argues that the complexity is encoded geometrically by studying geodesics. In this talk I will review the different notions of complexity, before focussing on Krylov and then looking at applications of this to study confinement in holography.
