Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Quantum Mechanics, Semidefinite Programming, and Graph Invariants
Matthew Hastings
11:00am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

The central problem of physics and quantum chemistry is to find the ground state energy of some physical system governed by quantum mechanics.  In mathematical terms, this means finding the lowest eigenvalue of some linear operator on a vector space...

Princeton University Galread [Galactic/Extragalactic Reading Group]

TBA
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 Initiative Seminar Series

Forming Truncated Accretion Disks
Gibwa Musoke
12:30pm|Princeton University, Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: Black hole X-ray binaries and Active Galactic Nuclei transition through a series of accretion states in a well-defined order. During a state transition, the accretion flow changes from a hot geometrically thick accretion flow, emitting a...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Resolution of the Kohayakawa--Kreuter Conjecture
Raphael Steiner
10:30am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

A graph $G$ is said to be Ramsey for a tuple of graphs ($H_1,...,H_r$) if every $r$-coloring of the edges of $G$ contains a monochromatic copy of $H_i$ in color $i$, for some $i$. A fundamental question at the intersection of Ramsey theory and the...
