Princeton University Astrophysical Sciences 2024 Spitzer Lecturer

JWST: First Results on the Distant Universe in Context
Brant Robertson
11:00am|Peyton Hall, Peyton Auditorium

For roughly three decades, astronomers anticipated that the launch of JWST would portend new discoveries and the potential upending of long-held notions for early galaxy formation. JWST did not disappoint! Within weeks of the start of science...

Princeton University Astroplasmas Seminar

Simulating Supermassive Black Holes Feeding and Feedback at the Meso-scale
Trung Ha
12:30pm|Dome Room, Peyton Hall or Zoom

Supermassive black holes' (SMBHs) feeding and feedback cycles play a vital role in galaxy formation and evolution. While current state-of-the-art numerical simulations can successfully reproduce the multiphase gas at the galaxy-scale, it is not well...

Analysis and Mathematical Physics

Some Analytic Applications of the Polynomial Method
Bodan Arsovski
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

This talk will be about the polynomial method and its applications to questions that have traditionally been tackled by Fourier analysis, with emphasis on the Kakeya conjecture, the cap set problem, arithmetic progressions in dense sets, and the...

Condensed Learning Seminar

Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch, Part II
Dmitry Kubrak
2:30pm|Princeton University, Fine Hall 314

Prove the Grothendieck–Riemann–Roch theorem: first prove [And23, Satz 6.12] and then explain the sketch of the proof on [And23, p. 38] by proving the relevant statements from the second half of [CS22, Lecture 15].

Princeton University Galread [Galactic/Extragalactic Reading Group]

TBA
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...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar Series

Terrestrial Quantum Gravity Tests
Dan Carney
12:30pm|Princeton University, Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: I will give an overview of recent activity based on the idea that we can test quantum properties of the gravitational field in experiments. I will emphasize the need to state precisely what hypotheses are being tested by showing some...
