Institute for Advanced Study Astrophysics Seminar

Astrophysical Lessons from LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA's Black Holes
Maya Fishbach
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall

The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detector network has observed over 70 gravitational-wave sources to date, including mergers between black holes, neutron stars, and mixed neutron star-black holes. Focusing on the black hole mergers, I will describe some recent...

Princeton University Thunch Talk

Magnetospheric origin of Fast Radio Bursts
Yuanhong Qu (University of Nevada, Las Vegas)
12:00pm|Peyton Hall, Grand Central

Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are the milliseconds-duration radio bursts mainly originating from cosmological distances. The high brightness temperatures (~10^{36} K) implies the intrinsic emission mechanisms must be coherent. Observations show that most...

Rutgers University Astrophysics Seminar

On the Likely Prevalence of Ocean-Worlds in M-Dwarf Systems
Lujendra Ojha (Rutgers University)
2:00pm|Serin Hall Rm W330, Rutgers and Zoom

The habitability potential of planets in the circumstellar habitable zone (CHZ) of M-dwarf stars are of great interest because M-dwarf stars make up 75% of the population of stars in the galaxy, and >40% of M-dwarfs stars are expected to harbor exo...

Joint PU/IAS Number Theory

Kashiwara Crystals in Endoscopy
Griffin Wang
4:30pm|*Princeton University, Fine 214*

In my recent work on a geometric proof of the endoscopic fundamental lemma for spherical Hecke algebras, there are many new features not present in its Lie algebra analogue originally proved by B.C.~Ng\^o. One of such new features is an asymptotic...

  • Yao Xiao : Equivariant Lagrangian Floer Theory on Compact Toric Manifolds

    We introduce an equivariant Lagrangian Floer theory on compact symplectic toric manifolds. We define a spectral sequence to compute the equivariant Floer cohomology. We show...

IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

Multipartite Edge Modes and Tensor Networks
11:00am|Wolfensohn Hall (IAS) & Zoom

Abstract: Holographic tensor networks model AdS/CFT, but so far they have been limited by involving only systems that are very different from gravity. Unfortunately, we cannot straightforwardly discretize gravity to incorporate it, because that...
