Special Year Seminar II

Tropical Vector Bundles
Diane Maclagan
10:00am|Simonyi 101

In this talk, I will describe a new definition, joint with Bivas Khan, for a tropical toric vector bundle on a tropical toric variety. This builds on the tropicalizations of toric vector bundles, and can be used to define tropicalizations of vector...

Institute for Advanced Study Astrophysics Seminar

From Kepler to the Habitable Worlds Observatory: The Emerging Picture of Planet Populations
Jessie Christiansen
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall

In this talk I will review the current state of and future prospects for exoplanet demographics. I will walk through the latest understanding of the frequency of Earth-like planets from Kepler, and their implications for NASA’s next flagship mission...

Princeton University Thunch Talk

Too Big to Be?: Searching for the Most Massive Galaxies in the Distant Universe
Jacqueline Antwi-Danso
12:00pm|Princeton University, Peyton Hall, Grand Central

One of the unsolved problems in extragalactic astronomy is understanding the physics of how the most distant massive galaxies grow their stellar mass over cosmic time. Large-scale hydrodynamical simulations have been largely successful in matching...

Princeton University Donald R. Hamilton Colloquium Series

Visualizing Strongly Interacting Quantum Phases of Matter from the Wigner Crystal to Topological Phases for Building Next Generation Qubits
Ali Yazdani
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall A-10

Abstract: When electrons are forced to interact strongly with each other, some of the most exotic electronic phases and novel quasiparticles may emerge. A key approach to force electrons to strongly interact with one another is to confine them to...

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 High Energy Theory Seminar

Exploring Thermal CFTs from a Bootstrap Perspective
Alessio Miscioscia
11:00am|Jadwin Hall, PCTS Room 407

Abstract: In this talk, I will present recent developments in the study of Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) at finite temperature. The motivation for this work is different applications to holography, black holes in AdS as well as statistical physics...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

An Improved Line-Point Low-Degree Test
Prahladh Harsha
11:00am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

In this talk, I'll show that the most natural low-degree test for polynomials over finite fields is ``robust'' in the high-error regime for linear-sized fields. This settles a long-standing open question in the area of low-degree testing, yielding...
