Mathematical Conversations

Grothendieck's Nightmare and Subsequent Dreams
Mikael De La Salle
6:00pm|Birch Garden, Simons Hall

In Récoltes et Semailles, Grothendieck explains that, exactly once in his life, doing math had become painful for him. It was at the end of the analytic part of his career, when he was obsessed by the approximation problem. I will explain what this...

Institute for Advanced Study Astrophysics Seminar

Exploring the Dynamics of Supercritical Accretion onto the Strongly Magnetized Neutron Stars
Lizhong Zhang
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall

Accretion-powered X-ray pulsars are neutron stars that accrete matter from a companion star in a binary system, which exhibit fascinating dynamics. The strong magnetic field of the neutron star guides material onto the magnetic poles, which are...

Rutgers University Astrophysics Seminar

Multi-probe cosmology forecasts for LSST
Heather Prince
2:00pm|Serin Hall Rm W330, Rutgers and Zoom

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will constrain our models of the universe through observations of galaxies and galaxy clusters as well as transients such as supernovae and strongly lensed quasars. We analyze...

Joint IAS/Princeton/Montreal/Paris/Tel-Aviv Symplectic Geometry Zoominar

Three 20-min Research Talks
Julien Dardennes, Arnaud Maret and Luya Wang
9:15am|Remote Access

  • Julien Dardennes:The Coarse Distance from Dynamically Convex to Convex:

    Chaidez and Edtmair have recently found the first examples of dynamically convex domains in $R^4$ that are not symplectomorphic to convex domains, answering a long-standing...

IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

The Quality/Cosmology Tension for a Post-Inflation QCD Axion
Qianshu Lu
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS) & Zoom

Abstract: Post-inflationary QCD axion is an attractive solution to the Strong CP problem because of the possibility to uniquely predict the axion mass if axion makes up all of dark matter. On the other hand, QCD axion models often suffer from the so...

The Influence of Edges in First-Passage Percolation on Z^d
Dor Elboim
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

We study the probability that a geodesic passes through a prescribed edge in first-passage percolation on Z^d. Benjamini, Kalai and Schramm conjectured that this probability tends to zero as the length of the geodesic tends to infinity, as long as...
