IAS Phenomenology Lunch and Meet

Information Discussions on Phenomenology and New Theories beyond the Standard Model
12:30pm|Bloomberg Hall Biology Conference Room (1st Floor, Room 113)

This semester, we will be beginning a *very informal* get-together every Monday of people interested in/working on phenomenology and new theories beyond the standard model.  The idea is to discuss over lunch, perhaps meet up around 12.20, grab lunch...

IAS Amplitudes Group Meeting

Scattering Amplitudes and Geometry in Free Surface Hydrodynamics
Nail Ussembayev
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: We consider the scattering problem of weakly nonlinear gravity waves on the surface of a two-dimensional incompressible fluid of infinite depth. The leading nonlinear dynamics is governed by four-wave interactions; however, a surprising...

IAS Physics Group Meeting

Lattice Models for U(1) Chern-Simons Theory
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: I will present a class of exactly solvable lattice models of bosonic modes on the square lattice that realize chiral topological phases described by U(1)_{2n}​ Chern-Simons theory. The key ingredient is a factorization of the bosonic...

IAS Special Physics Seminar

Superradiant Interactions of the Primordial Cosmic Neutrino Background and Dark Matter
Savas Dimopoulos
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: Cosmic relics such as the cosmic neutrino background (CνB) are among the most compelling and elusive targets in fundamental physics. With conventional detectors, the interaction rate is so small that a 10-cm sphere of matter would see...

IAS Quantum Aspects of Black Holes Group Meeting

A de Sitter Scrambling Algebra
11:00am|Bloomberg Hall Physics Library

Abstract: In previous work, Chandrasekaran, Longo, Penington, and Witten (CLPW) constructed an algebra for an observer in a de Sitter static patch. I will discuss how this algebra is affected by gravitational corrections. I will work in the eikonal...
