IAS Quantum Aspects of Black Holes Group Meeting

A Melonic Quantum Mechanical Model without Disorder
Anna Biggs
11:00am|Bloomberg Hall Physics Library & Zoom

Abstract: I will describe a quantum mechanical model involving interacting fermions without disorder that has the same low energy physics as the supersymmetric SYK model. The model is SU(2) invariant, and the supercharge involves the  SU(2) 3j...

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

Decay estimates for massless Vlasov fields on subextremal Kerr spacetimes
Leo Bigorgne
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: We will present a commutation vector field approach for the solutions to the massless Vlasov equation on the exterior of a Schwarzschild spacetime, together with extensions to subextremal Kerr black holes. The approach satisfies two...

IAS Joint SNS/SOM High Energy Theory Seminar

A Gapped Boundary of a Chiral Theory in 2+1d
Jeongwan Haah
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS) & Zoom

Abstract: It is believed that topologically ordered gapped local Hamiltonians in 2+1d consisting of commuting terms may not realize a chiral anyon theory. There is even a formula that expresses the chiral central charge of the edge theory as an...
