calendar dates

Physics Calendar

The Physics calendar contains High Energy Theory events hosted by the Institute for Advanced Study and Princeton University. A condensed version of the calendar is sent to the general Physics mailing list on Friday afternoons. Reminder emails are sent the morning of the event. If you are a local faculty member, postdoc or graduate student and would like to be added to the general Physics mailing list, please contact Lisa Fleischer, lisa@ias.edu

IAS Physics Group Meeting

Causality Constraints on Gravity and Large-N Matters
Yue-Zhou Li
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: In this talk, we'll review the bootstrap method that uses unitarity and causality (analyticity + crossing) to constrain low-energy effective field theories (EFTs), especially those including gravitational couplings. This method allows us...

IAS Quantum Aspects of Black Holes Group Meeting

Building Up Quantum Spacetimes with BCFT Legos
Yikun Jiang
11:00am|Bloomberg Hall Physics Library

Abstract: Is it possible to read off the quantum gravity dual of a CFT directly from its operator algebra? In this talk, I will present a step-by-step recipe for building up 3D quantum spacetimes dual to 2D CFTs, synthesizing results and techniques...

IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

't Hooft Anomaly Detection in 2+1d Lattice Systems
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS) & Zoom

Abstract: I will discuss two methods for diagnosing ’t Hooft anomalies of internal symmetries in 2+1d lattice systems. Anomalous symmetries of this kind arise naturally at the boundary of 3+1D symmetry-protected topological phases, and are known to...

IAS Amplitudes Group Meeting

Structures in the Non-Planar Sector of QCD
Giulio Gambuti
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: Scattering amplitudes can be used to probe the all-orders structure of gauge theories. Particularly rich is the non-planar sector, where physical phenomena such as quadrupole radiation and multi-reggeon interactions appear. In this talk I...
