Clay Cordova - Electron-Monopole Scattering from Conformal Field Theory @IhesFr

Uploaded March 2026 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

S-wave scattering of electrons off of heavy magnetic monopoles is an important problem both in formal theory and in particle phenomenology. It has long been understood that this scattering can be effectively studied in two-dimensional conformal field theory with a recently appreciated crucial role played by topological line defects and generalized global symmetry. We use the formalism of boundary CFT to compute the S-matrix to leading order in electromagnetic coupling and find agreement with expectations from unitarity.

$Thomas Müller - Higher Dimensional Floorplans and Baxter $d$-permutations A 2-dimensional mosaic floorplan is a partition of a rectangle by other rectangles with no empty rooms. These partitions (considered up to some deformations) are known to be in bijection with Baxter permutations. A $d$-permutation is a $(d-1)$-tuple of permutations. Recently, in N. Bonichon and P.-J. Morel, J. Integer Sequences 25 (2022), Baxter $d$-permutations generalising the usual Baxter permutations were introduced. In this talk, I will introduce the $d$-floorplans which generalise the mosaic floorplans to arbitrary dimensions. Then, I will present the construction of their generating tree. The corresponding labels and rewriting rules appear to be significantly more involved in higher dimensions. Finally, I will present a bijection between the $2^{d-1}$-floorplans and $d$-permutations characterised by forbidden vincular patterns. Surprisingly, this set of $d$-permutations is strictly contained within the set of Baxter $d$-permutations. This is a joint work with Nicolas Bonichon and Adrian Tanasa (Université de bordeaux), this talk is based on arXiv:2504.01116.
