| 14 Misha Shaposhnikov, Weyl-invariant Einstein-Cartan gravity: unifying the strong CP and hierarchy puzzles (2:00 PM - 3:15 PM) -- Abstract: We show that the minimal Weyl-invariant Einstein-Cartan gravity in combination with the Standard Model of particle physics contains just one extra scalar degree of freedom (in addition to the graviton and the Standard Model fields) with the properties of an axion-like particle which can solve the strong CP-problem. The smallness of this particle's mass as well as of the cosmological constant is ensured by tiny values of the gauge coupling constants of the local Lorentz group. The tree value of the Higgs boson mass and that of Majorana leptons (if added to the Standard Model to solve the neutrino mass, baryogenesis and dark matter problems) are very small or vanishing, opening the possibility of their computability in terms of the fundamental parameters of the theory due to nonperturbative effects. | 15 Julien Lavalle, Early dressing of primordial black holes with cold dark matter particles (2:00 PM - 3:15 PM) + Abstract: | 16 , HEP Journal Club (12:30 PM - 1:30 PM) Michael Baker, Phase Transitions, Dark Matter and Black Holes (2:00 PM - 3:15 PM) + Abstract: | 17 | 18 Calkins (3:30 PM - 4:30 PM) |
