Title:  Lecture 3: The Universe from a Single Particle

Speaker:  Michael Freedman

Abstract:  Four papers, recently appearing in JHEP, describe numerical experiments which show an “operator level” spontaneous symmetry breaking, in which tensor structures spontaneously emerge from minimizing certain loss-functionals on the symmetries of Hilbert space. Since tensor product models disjoint union, this may be interpreted as “one thing” becoming “many”, hence the title. This is joint work with Moj Shokrian-Zini (first three papers) and (Adam Brown and Shokrian-Zini) (in the fourth).
