PU High Energy Theory Seminar

Precision holography for (non-)susy observables
Valentin Reys
11:00am|Jadwin Hall, PCTS Room 407

Abstract: I will review recent progress in understanding perturbative corrections to the large N limit of various observables in holographic 3d SCFTs. For supersymmetric observables, these corrections are obtained from supersymmetric localization and...

Princeton University Galread [Galactic/Extragalactic Reading Group]

TDEs and their hosts (dwarfs galaxies)
Erica Hammerstein
11:00am|Zoom and Peyton Hall, Grand Central

Each week, we hold a relatively informal seminar/discussion series with an emphasis on extra-galactic and large-scale structure astrophysics.

During Galread a leader/visitor presents a recent paper to the discussion group. The PDF of the paper is...

Institute for Advanced Study/Princeton University Early Universe/Cosmology Lunch Discussion

Scaling simulation-based inference for the next generation of cosmological surveys
Chirag Modi
12:30pm|IAS, West Seminar Room

Simulation-based inference (SBI) is a promising approach to leverage cosmological simulations and extract information from the non-Gaussian, non-linear scales that cannot be modeled analytically. However, scaling SBI to the volumes and resolutions...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar Series

w(1+infinity) Symmetry in 4D Gravitational Scattering
Elizabeth Himwich
12:30pm|Princeton University, Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: In four-dimensional asymptotically flat spacetimes, the infinite tower of soft graviton modes is known to generate a w(1+infinity) symmetry algebra at tree-level.  In this talk, I will review this symmetry and demonstrate that it acts non...

IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

Non-Linear Quantum Mechanics
David E. Kaplan
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS) & Zoom

Abstract: We add non-linear and state-dependent terms to the Hamiltonian of quantum field theory. The resulting low-energy theory, non-linear quantum mechanics, is causal, preserves probability and permits a consistent description of the process of...

Institute for Advanced Study / Princeton University Joint Astrophysics Colloquium

Multi-messenger observations of cosmic collisions and explosions: progenitors, relativistic ejecta, and remnants
Alessandra Corsi
10:30am|Wolfensohn Hall

The births and mergers of neutron stars and black holes, the most exotic objects in the universe, can launch the fastest cosmic jets (gamma-ray bursts; GRBs) and shake the very fabric of space-time with gravitational waves. GW170817, the merger of...
