Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar Series

Terrestrial Quantum Gravity Tests
Dan Carney
12:30pm|Princeton University, Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: I will give an overview of recent activity based on the idea that we can test quantum properties of the gravitational field in experiments. I will emphasize the need to state precisely what hypotheses are being tested by showing some...

Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Symplectic Aspects of the Hilbert-Smith Conjecture and $p$-adic Actions.
Egor Shelukhin
12:30pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

I will discuss a recent proof of new cases of the Hilbert-Smith conjecture for actions by homeomorphisms of symplectic nature. In particular, it rules out faithful actions of the additive $p$-adic group in this setting and provides further...

Princeton University Astrophysical Sciences 2024 Spitzer Lecturer

Star Formation, Stellar Mass, and Black Hole Growth in the First Billion Years
Brant Robertson
1:00pm|Peyton Hall, Peyton Auditorium

JWST has the powerful new capability to both measure the structural and stellar population properties of distant galaxies through deep near-infrared imaging and probe emission lines and continuum spectroscopically. The combination of these probes...

Joint IAS/Princeton Arithmetic Geometry Seminar

The Geometric Langlands Conjecture
Sam Raskin
3:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

I will describe the main ideas that go into the proof of the (unramified, global) geometric Langlands conjecture. All of this work is joint with Gaitsgory and some parts are joint with Arinkin, Beraldo, Chen, Faergeman, Lin, and Rozenblyum. I will...

Princeton University Astrophysical Sciences 2024 Spitzer Lecturer

The Past, Present, and Future of the Deep Universe
Brant Robertson
11:00am|Peyton Hall, Peyton Auditorium

Results from JWST have challenged our prior views of galaxy formation and supermassive black hole growth at the earliest cosmic epochs. Our knowledge of the distant universe has evolved rapidly over the last two years of science operations, and...

Princeton University Dark Cosmos Seminar

Physics Potential at a future Muon Collider
Cari Cesarotti
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall, Joe Henry Room

Abstract: A clear outcome of Snowmass 2021 and now the US P5 report was the community support for R&D towards a future muon collider. In this talk we will discuss the general physics program that becomes available to the community during the...

IAS Quantum Aspects of Black Holes Group Meeting

The Additivity Anomaly in Holographic CFTs
Sam Leutheusser
11:00am|Bloomberg Hall Physics Library

Abstract: I will discuss consequences of the loss of the “additivity” property of QFT in the large N limit of Holographic CFTs. I will demonstrate how the additivity anomaly underlies the success of quantum error correcting code models of holography...
