"The Standard Model from String Theory - What have we Learned?" w/ Fernando Marchesnao & Timo Weigand: arxiv.org/abs/2401.01939 This is the question Michael Peskin, editor of Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science asked us. Hope our answers are satisfactory. @UWMadPhysics
Check out this project from DSI Affiliate @gary_shiu!
Excited to share with you an exciting project with Jacky Yip @UWMadPhysics and @arnal_charles and @f_charton @Meta where we develop a transformer model to automate the generation of Calabi-Yau manifolds, extra dimensional spaces in string theory: arxiv.org/abs/2507.03732

A violation of the strong energy condition can arise by coupling dark matter and dark energy, even if both individually satisfy it. Could this lead to cosmic horizons in string compactifications? We seek an answer in arxiv.org/abs/2506.19914 [with @gary_shiu and Hung V. Tran]
The word Swampland has now permeated other branches of theoretical physics. Nice talk by Gian Giudice at the MasieroFest (part of the Planck 2025 conference: indico.dfa.unipd.it/event/1200/ ) @StringSwamp @EranPalti
Visiting @NorditaSweden for 2 days giving a colloquium and a seminar. This is how a physics institute should look like: a place to cultivate deep thoughts without forgetting fun! @UWMadPhysics
Congratulations to my undergraduate advisee Qing (Helena) Huang for winning the Hilldale Undergraduate/Faculty Research Fellowship! While her major is in Statistics, Data Science and Information Science, her award winning work with me is deeply rooted in @UWMadPhysics
Great to have Craig Lawrie fron @desynews visiting us @UWMadPhysics this week. His talk on “Generalized symmetry constraints on deformed 4d (S)CFTs is now on our YouTube channel: youtu.be/ALKNwSCkhqg?si…
Videos for the UW-Madison HEP Theory and Cosmology Seminar @UWMadPhysics: physics.wisc.edu/events/?name=H… are now on YouTube. You can find the first few talks this year by Asher Berlin, Alberto Castellano, and Gordon Krnjaic @GordanKrnjaic on my playlist: youtube.com/@gary_shiu
While we are at it, this is my YouTube Channel: youtube.com/@Gary_Shiu Still very much under construction. Subscribe at your own risk :)
Great to have Sash Sarangi @emalpha_ai visiting @UWMadPhysics for a couple of days and giving an interesting seminar on "Thinking Fast and Slow". The video recording of his talk is now on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=3WAaLO…
New paper alert! With Puxin Lin and Alessandro Mininno @A_Mininno @UWMadPhysics we formulate the Weak Gravity Conjecture in Anti de Sitter Space: arxiv.org/abs/2503.05862 Interesting plot twist about BPS states and the Weak Gravity Conjecture!
Great to have Zeeshan Ahmed (SLAC) giving our @UWMadPhysics colloquium today on “Investigating cosmic origin and evolution with the oldest photons”.
1/5 Our theoretical physics benchmark for AI, TPBench, is out! Check out the website tpbench.org for scores, paper and examples. Collaboration with @fredsala @Maja_Rudolph @SaiC_Tadepalli @yur11k @Tianyi_99 @Zhiqi_Gao_2001 @UWMadPhysics @datascience_uw. Some thoughts.
It’s great to have Kendrick Smith from @Perimeter telling us about “Fast Radio Bursts with Chime” at our @UWMadPhysics Colloquium.
Happy New Year of the (Open) String! Like the snake, the string symbolizes wisdom and transformation. Let’s hope that we have the wisdom to solve all our challenges #YearofSnake
