Princeton University Galread [Galactic/Extragalactic Reading Group]

TBA
Hollis Akins
11:00am|Zoom and Peyton Hall, Grand Central

Each week, we hold a relatively informal seminar/discussion series with an emphasis on extra-galactic and large-scale structure astrophysics.

During Galread a leader/visitor presents a recent paper to the discussion group. The PDF of the paper is...

Princeton University Gravity Group Lunch Seminar

Searching for New Signals in the Microwave Sky
Colin Hill
12:00pm|Jadwin 102 (Joe Henry Room)

Measurements of the small-scale CMB temperature and polarization fields have recently undergone transformative improvements with Data Release 6 (DR6) of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) and will soon improve further with the Simons Observatory...

Princeton University Astroplasmas Seminar

Role of Nonlinear Landau Damping for Cosmic-Ray Transport
Benedikt Schroer
12:30pm|Dome Room, Peyton Hall or Zoom

Abstract: The self-confinement picture of cosmic-ray transport often hinges on the linear theory of growth and damping of magnetic perturbations. Especially the balance between the growth of the resonant streaming instability and non-linear Landau...

IAS CMP/QFT Group Meeting

Generalized Symmetries of Relative QFTs and Chiral Algebras
Brandon Rayhaun
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: I will sketch a theory of finite, generalized symmetries of 2D QFTs which live at the boundary of a bulk topological theory in one higher dimension, emphasizing various new ingredients which arise in the presence of a nontrivial bulk. This...

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...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar

Cryptographic tests of the python's lunch conjecture
Michelle Xu
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: In AdS/CFT, a spacetime geometry is said to contain a python's lunch when there exist choices of boundary regions with associated entanglement wedges that contain locally but not globally minimal surfaces. Previously, such geometries have...

IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

Entanglement Bootstrap and Conformal Field Theory
John McGreevy
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS) & Zoom

Abstract: Entanglement Bootstrap is a research program to understand and extract the universal data of quantum many body states from local entanglement information.  Since this universal data is usually encoded in a quantum field theory, the program...
