Princeton University High Energy Theory Seminar

Emanant Chiral Supersymmetry in 1+1 Fermions on Lattice
Yu Nakayama
2:00pm|Jadwin Hall, 4th Floor, PCTS Room 407

Abstract: The appearance of chiral symmetry from lattice fermions has been a non-trivial issue over many years. We apply the idea of "emanant chiral symmetry" by Seiberg and Shao to study the "emanant chiral supersymmetry" on the 1+1 dimensional...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

The Error Resilience of Binary Codes with Interaction
Gillat Kol
10:30am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Q1: A fundamental result in coding theory, known as the Plotkin bound, suggests that a binary code can tolerate up to ¼ fraction of adversarial corruptions. Can we design codes that handle more errors if we allow interaction between the sender and...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Spring Seminar Series

Formation of Shocks for the Einstein--Euler System
John Anderson
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: In this talk, I hope to describe elements of proving a certain stable singularity formation result for the Einstein--Euler system which is the topic of work in progress with Jonathan Luk. I will first describe some of the motivating...

Members' Colloquium

Quantitative Stability of Geometric Inequalities: Pr\'ekopa-Leindler and Borell-Brascamp-Lieb
1:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

The Prékopa-Leindler inequality (PL) and its strengthening, the Borell-Brascamp-Lieb inequality, are functional extensions of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality from convex geometry, which itself refines the classical isoperimetric inequality. These...

IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

Cobordism Utopia
Jonathan Heckman
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS) & Zoom

Abstract: On general grounds one expects that global symmetries are absent in quantum gravity. We discuss some aspects of this issue, focusing on the recently proposed Swampland Cobordism Conjecture, and related conjectures connected with...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Monochromatic Sums and Products over the Rationals
Maria-Romina Ivan
10:30am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Hindman’s Theorem states that whenever the natural numbers are finitely coloured there exists an infinite sequence all of whose finite sums are the same colour. By considering just powers of 2, this immediately implies the corresponding result for...
