IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

't Hooft Anomaly Detection in 2+1d Lattice Systems
Wilbur Shirley
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...

Continuous Symmetry Breaking: A Rigorous Approach
Sara Daneri
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

At the base of spontaneous pattern formation is universally believed to be the competition between short range attractive and long range repulsive forces. Though such a phenomenon is observed in experiments and simulations, a rigorous understanding...

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...

Visions in Arithmetic and Beyond: Celebrating Peter Sarnak's Work and Impact

Impacts of Ramanujan Graphs
Daniel Spielman
10:00am|Wolfensohn Hall and Remote Access

I will survey some applications of Ramanujan Graphs in theoretical computer science, as well as some of the work they have inspired. 

Along the way, I'll explain how they impacted the thinking and assumptions of my generation.

Visions in Arithmetic and Beyond: Celebrating Peter Sarnak's Work and Impact

Optimal Spectral Gaps
Michael Magee
11:50am|Wolfensohn Hall and Remote Access

I'll discuss spectral gaps in the following contexts:
- d-regular graphs
- locally symmetric spaces e.g. hyperbolic manifolds
- finite dimensional unitary representations of discrete groups e.g. free groups, surface groups
 

Of particular interest are...
