PU High Energy Theory Seminar

Bootstrapping N = 4 sYM Using Integrability
Zahra Zahraee
2:30pm|Jadwin Hall, PCTS Room 407

Abstract: In this talk we use integrability data to bootstrap correlation functions of planar maximally supersymmetric Yang- Mills theory, focusing on four-point correlation function of stress-tensor. First, we start by demonstrating why the...

Joint IAS/Princeton Arithmetic Geometry Seminar

Microlocal Sheaves and Affine Springer Fibers
Pablo Boixeda Alvarez
3:30pm|Fine 322, Princeton University

The resolutions of Slodowy slices $S˜e𝑆~𝑒$ are symplectic varieties that contain the Springer fiber (G/B)e(𝐺/𝐵)𝑒 as a Lagrangian subvariety. In joint work with R. Bezrukavnikov, M. McBreen and Z. Yun, we construct analogues of these spaces for...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Incidence Bounds via Extremal Graph Theory
Istvan Tomon
10:30am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

A cornerstone result in geometry is the Szemerédi–Trotter theorem, which gives a sharp bound on the maximum number of incidences between $m$ points and $n$ lines in the real plane. A natural generalization of this is to consider point-hyperplane...

Finding the most distant galaxies in the universe with JWST
Brant Robertson
3:30pm|Peyton Hall, Peyton Auditorium

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has opened a new window into the early universe, enabling sensitive, high-resolution images of the near-infrared sky and spectroscopy of faint, distant sources. The JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) is...

Princeton University Dark Cosmos Seminar

Probing Inflation from Antarctica: Improving Cosmology Constraints with the Cosmic Microwave Background and Line Intensity Mapping
Jessica Avva Zebrowski
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall, Joe Henry Room

Abstract: Inflation, the theory describing a period of exponential superluminal expansion in the early universe, is both a proposed solution to the large-scale structure we see in our night sky and a mystery of which we have little experimental...

IAS Physics Group Meeting

Tidal Effects of Compact Objects from Theory to Observation
Zihan Zhou
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: Tidal deformabilities serve as an effective tool to study the structures of compact objects. In the first part of the talk, I will present how the worldline effective field theory (EFT) can be applied to examine the tidal responses of...

The Growing Legacy of JWST for Extragalactic Science
Brant Robertson
11:00am|Peyton Hall, Peyton Auditorium

The launch of James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has already proven to be a defining moment for this generation of astronomers. Like its revolutionary predecessor Hubble Space Telescope, JWST has been artfully used by astronomers worldwide to build a...
