Princeton University Galread [Galactic/Extragalactic Reading Group]

Identification and characterization of massive quiescent galaxies in the JWST era
Jacqueline Antwi-Danso, University of Toronto
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 High Energy Theory Seminar

Exploring Thermal CFTs from a Bootstrap Perspective
Alessio Miscioscia
11:00am|Jadwin Hall, PCTS Room 407

Abstract: In this talk, I will present recent developments in the study of Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) at finite temperature. The motivation for this work is different applications to holography, black holes in AdS as well as statistical physics...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

An Improved Line-Point Low-Degree Test
Prahladh Harsha
11:00am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

In this talk, I'll show that the most natural low-degree test for polynomials over finite fields is ``robust'' in the high-error regime for linear-sized fields. This settles a long-standing open question in the area of low-degree testing, yielding...
