Alfons van Daele (Leuven) will give a talk with title: The Haar measure on quantum groups

Abstract: At this moment, there is no theory of locally compact quantum groups with axioms from which one can prove the existence of the Haar weights. In general, the existence is part of the axioms. There are however a few cases where the existence can be proven. This is true for compact quantum groups and for discrete quantum groups. We will discuss some aspects of these proofs and see which of them are useful in the general case.

The Isotropic Gamma-ray Background (IGRB) up to 820 GeV has been recently measured by the Fermi LAT using 50 months of data. Understanding the origin of this IGRB is a crucial task that requires to identify and model possible contributions in detail. Dark matter annihilation signals integrated over all cosmic epochs have been proposed to account for a portion of the measured IGRB intensity. I will discuss the theoretical predictions for the clustering of dark matter signal and refined predictions for the contribution of the unresolved astrophysical source populations to the IGRB. We use these ingredients to set the limits on the dark matter annihilation cross section which turn out to be comparable to the ones set by the observation of dwarf spheroidal galaxies and Milky Way halo for sub-TeV dark matter masses, while they improve upon them at the high mass end due to the significant energy extension of the isotropic measurement. In addition I will  compare these finding with complementary techniques which probe the cosmological dark matter annihilations, as those of the small scale angular anisotropies and gamma ray cross correlations with galaxy catalogs.
