Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar

Connecting Dense Matter to Astrophysical Compact Objects
Isaac Legred
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: Neutron stars and black holes represent the inevitable endpoints of stellar evolution for high-mass stars. Despite the apparent fine-tuning of the physical conditions necessary to produce them, neutron stars are abundant in the Galaxy. On...

Members' Colloquium

The AD+ Duality Program
Hugh Woodin
1:30pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

The study of descriptive set theory in the context of determinacy axioms began nearly 60 years ago. The context for this study is now understood to be the Axiom AD+, which is a refinement of the Axiom of Determinacy (AD).  The objects of this study...

IAS Joint SNS/SOM High Energy Theory Seminar

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Decaying Turbulence: But Were Afraid to Ask
Katepalli R. Sreenivasan
3:15pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS) & Zoom

Abstract: Gently stir a fluid in a large box sitting still. This talk is about the behavior of turbulence that is generated. We report results of large numerical simulations of the Navier-Stokes equations in a triply periodic box---and compare the...

Joint IAS/PU Arithmetic Geometry

Compatibility of Canonical Local Systems and $F$-isocrystals on Shimura Varieties
Stefan Patrikis
3:30pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

I will discuss compatibility of the canonical $G$-valued $l$-adic local systems on Shimura varieties of non-abelian type $G$. In previous work with Klevdal, we settled this for the projections of the local systems to the adjoint group of $G$, and...

Set Theory Group

Combinatorics of Singular Cardinals
Dima Sinapova
5:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

Abstract: Ever since Cohen invented forcing and showed the independence of the continuum hypothesis (CH), the powerset function of infinite cardinals has been a central theme in modern set theory. In this talk we will focus of the behavior of the...

Institute for Advanced Study / Princeton University Joint Astrophysics Colloquium

On the Origins of Cosmic Rays
Damiano Caprioli
11:00am|Peyton Hall Auditorium

The origin of extraterrestrial energetic particles ("cosmic rays") has puzzled scientists since the pioneering discovery by Victor Hess in 1912. In the last decade, however, modern supercomputers and multi-wavelength observations have opened new...

IAS Phenomenology Lunch and Meet

Information Discussions on Phenomenology and New Theories beyond the Standard Model
12:30pm|Bloomberg Hall Biology Conference Room (1st Floor, Room 113)

This semester, we will be beginning a *very informal* get-together every Monday of people interested in/working on phenomenology and new theories beyond the standard model.  The idea is to discuss over lunch, perhaps meet up around 12.20, grab lunch...
