Princeton University High Energy Theory Seminar

Constraining the Scherk-Schwarz Landscape
Alek Bedroya
11:00am|Jadwin Hall, 4th Floor, LFTP Open Space

Abstract: Scherk–Schwarz compactifications have been widely studied for model building and as a testing ground for non-supersymmetric de Sitter and AdS vacua. I will use a simple correspondence between the radion potential and the thermal free...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Random Walk and Paint Blending
Peter Winkler
11:00am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Random walks on a graph, and Markov chains in general, provide endless fascination and myriad applications (for example, in sampling and approximation algorithms.)  A nearly trivial but endlessly useful tool in this theory is the "harmonic lemma for...

IAS CMP/QFT Group Meeting

On the Classification of c=1 Conformal Field Theories
Brandon Rayhaun
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: Nearly 40 years ago, Ginsparg painted a conjectural picture of the conformal moduli space of unitary 2D conformal field theories (CFTs) with compact spectrum and central charge c=1. I will present, in physical language, a mathematically...

Princeton University LFTP Seminar

Gravitational Tidal Matching: a Scattering Amplitudes approach to Love Numbers
Giulia Isabella
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, 4th Floor, LFPT Space

Abstract: At wavelengths large compared to the size of the source, any compact object admits a point-particle description, with finite-size corrections encoded by Love numbers. In this talk, I will discuss a novel method for computing gravitational...
