Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Parallel Repetition for 3-Player XOR Games
Yang Liu
10:30am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

In a $3$-$\mathsf{XOR}$ game $\mathcal{G}$, the verifier samples a challenge $(x,y,z)\sim \mu$ where $\mu$ is a probability distribution over $\Sigma\times\Gamma\times\Phi$,  and a map $t\colon \Sigma\times\Gamma\times\Phi\to\mathcal{A}$ for a...

Institute for Advanced Study / Princeton University Joint Astrophysics Colloquium

Radiatively-cooled Magnetic Reconnection Experiments
Jack Hare
11:00am|Peyton Hall Auditorium

Abstract: In extreme astrophysical systems, such as black hole coronae and pulsar magnetospheres, the process of magnetic reconnection is significantly modified by strong radiative cooling. This cooling removes internal energy faster than it is...

Princeton Center for Heliophysics Seminar

Turbulence and Heating in Collisionless Plasma: Insights from the Earth's Magnetosheath
Davide Manzini, École Polytechnique
2:00pm|Virtual Meeting

One of the central questions in astrophysical plasmas revolves around understanding how turbulence contributes to plasma heating, particularly regarding the partitioning of this energy between protons and electrons. Since space plasmas exhibit weak...

PU High Energy Theory Seminar

Resurgence in Matrix Models and Topological Strings
Maximilian Schwick
2:00pm|PGI Open Space

Abstract: Many recent developments in matrix models and topological string theory have been driven by resurgence methods. 

I will introduce basic resurgence concepts in the context of hermitian matrix models (and their double scaling limits) and...

IAS Amplitudes Group Meeting

The Regge Bootstrap, from Linear to non-Linear Trajectories
Piotr Tourkine
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: Meromorphic amplitudes are the simplest non-trivial scattering amplitudes. They describe the exchange of infinitely many higher spin resonances in theories like string theory and large N gauge theories. Yet, despite being very simple...

Princeton University Dark Cosmos Seminar

A long time ago in a pp collision far, far away: Searching for displaced vertices at CMS
Joseph Reichert
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall, Joe Henry Room

Abstract: Many BSM models predict new long-lived particles that could be produced at the LHC and travel measurable distances before decaying. This talk will focus on a set of low-background searches for long-lived particles using the LHC Run 2...
