Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar

On the uniqueness of Kerr-de Sitter
Allen Fang
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: The uniqueness of the Kerr-de Sitter family of  black hole spacetimes as stationary solutions to the Einstein vacuum equations is a crucial ingredient to understanding the final states of positive cosmological constant universes, such as...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar

Connecting Dense Matter to Astrophysical Compact Objects
Isaac Legred
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: Neutron stars and black holes represent the inevitable endpoints of stellar evolution for high-mass stars. Despite the apparent fine-tuning of the physical conditions necessary to produce them, neutron stars are abundant in the Galaxy. On...

Princeton University Donald R. Hamilton Colloquium Series

The Search for Axion Dark Matter
Benjamin Safdi
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall A-10

Abstract: Axions are some of the best-motivated beyond the Standard Model particle candidates at present. These ultralight particles may account for the cosmological dark matter and explain other outstanding problems in nature, such as the strong-CP...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar

Instabilities of near-extremal black branes
Alex Buchel
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: Extremal horizons (and associated emergent quantum criticality of the corresponding holographic models) receive strong quantum corrections at very low temperatures.  We point out that when such models are embedded in top-down holography...
