Goldstone Meets Higgs at the LHC
After the recent discovery at the LHC of a Higgs-like particle with mass around 125 GeV, it is mandatory to reassess the viability of the proposed solutions to the hierarchy problem of the electroweak scale. In this talk, Javi Serra focuses on compositeness as the fundamental idea, with the Higgs arising as a Goldstone boson of the new strong dynamics and discuss its exciting phenomenological implications, including the prospect of non-minimal scalar sectors and its significance for Higgs couplings.

Black Holes: Complementarity or Firewalls?
Joe Polchinksi argues that the following three statements cannot all be true: (i) Hawking radiation is in a pure state, (ii) the information carried by the radiation is emitted from the region near the horizon, with low energy effective field theory valid beyond some microscopic distance from the horizon, and (iii) the infalling observer encounters nothing unusual at the horizon. Perhaps the most conservative resolution is that the infalling observer burns up at the horizon. Alternatives would seem to require novel dynamics that nevertheless cause notable violations of semiclassical physics at macroscopic distances from the horizon.
