  • Yao Xiao : Equivariant Lagrangian Floer Theory on Compact Toric Manifolds

    We introduce an equivariant Lagrangian Floer theory on compact symplectic toric manifolds. We define a spectral sequence to compute the equivariant Floer cohomology. We show...

IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

Multipartite Edge Modes and Tensor Networks
11:00am|Wolfensohn Hall (IAS) & Zoom

Abstract: Holographic tensor networks model AdS/CFT, but so far they have been limited by involving only systems that are very different from gravity. Unfortunately, we cannot straightforwardly discretize gravity to incorporate it, because that...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Tight Cell-Probe Lower Bounds for Dynamic Succinct Dictionaries
Huacheng Yu
11:00am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

A dictionary data structure maintains a set of at most $n$ keys from the universe $[U]$ under key insertions and deletions, such that given a query $x\in[U]$, it returns if $x$ is in the set. Some variants also store values associated to the keys...

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...

Gravitational Waves on Kerr Black Holes: Reconstruction of Linearized Metric Perturbations
Roman Berens
12:30pm|Princeton University, Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: The gravitational perturbations of a rotating Kerr black hole are notoriously complicated, even at the linear level. In 1973, Teukolsky showed that their physical degrees of freedom are encoded in two gauge-invariant Weyl curvature scalars...

Members' Colloquium

On a Theorem of Furstenberg
2:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

A deep result of Furstenberg from 1967 states that if $\Gamma$ is a lattice in a semisimple Lie group $G$, then there exists a measure on $\Gamma$ with finite first moment such that the corresponding harmonic measure on the Furstenberg boundary of...

PU High Energy Theory Seminar

Aspects of T Tbar Deformation and the Kernel Formula
Aki Hashimoto
2:30pm|Jadwin Hall, PCTS Room 407

Abstract: In this talk, I will review a simple derivation of an integral kernel formula for the partition function of T Tbar deformed CFT based on the holographic single trace T Tbar deformation and its generalization to J Tbar and J Jbar...
