Speaker

Archil Kobakhidze

Description

In this talk, I will describe how the non-trivial topology of curved spacetime induces quantum tunnelling between vacuum states that profoundly affect the properties and interactions of elementary particles. Namely, I will argue that gravitational instantons cause combined parity violation.
