Launch of new Irish Script on Screen website @DIASDublin

Uploaded November 2022 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

A new Irish Script on Screen website was launched, as part of Tionol (the DIAS School of Celtic Studies annual conference), on Thursday 18 November 2022. Check out the website on https://www.isos.dias.ie/

The ISOS website was established over 20 years ago to begin digitising Irish manuscripts dating as far back as the 7th century AD. ISOS allows scholars and the general public from all over the world who are interested in these manuscripts to view them without having to travel to Ireland. It also helps to preserve the manuscripts as it limits the number of people physically handling them.

The digitisation of the manuscripts is an ongoing, slow process, with 450 manuscripts out of 5000 currently digitized to date, which equates to upwards of 80,000 large resolution images.

Confinement and Deconfinement in Gauge Theories : A Quantum Field Theory

$Maxwell Theory of Fractons Speaker: Erica Bertolini (DIAS) Abstract: In this talk I will show that the main properties of the fracton quasiparticles can be derived from a generalized covariant Maxwell-like action. Starting from a rank-2 symmetric tensor field, a partially symmetric rank-3 tensor field strength can be built, which obeys a kind of Bianchi identity. The most general action invariant under the covariant fracton? transformation consists of two independent terms: one describing Linearized Gravity (LG) and the other referable to fractons, a proof of the always suspected relation between fractons and gravitons. I will also discuss that, as claimed in the Literature, the fracton part can be reconduced to a generalized Maxwell theory. In particular, in the covariant generalization of the fracton theory, the equations describing the fracton limited mobility, i.e. the charge and dipole conservation, are not external constraints, but rather consequences of the field equations of motion, hence of the invariant action and, ultimately, of the fracton covariant symmetry. I will also discuss boundary effects related to this fracton model.$
