IAS Amplitudes Group Meeting

Deformations of the Moduli Space of Polygons and the Nonlinear Sigma Model
Nick Early
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: A recursive extension of $\phi^3$ amplitudes was discovered in 2019 by CEGM.  The first layer is a familiar integral over the positive moduli space $M^+_{0,n}$; the second layer is an integral over the moduli space of polygons in the...

IAS Physics Group Meeting

Modular-Invariant Random Matrix Theory and AdS3 Wormholes
Gabriele Di Ubaldo
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: We develop a non-perturbative definition of RMT2: a generalization of random matrix theory that is compatible with the symmetries of two-dimensional conformal field theory. Given any random matrix ensemble, its n-point spectral...

Duality of Turbulence to a Solvable String Theory with Discrete Target Space
Alexander Migdal
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: The Navier–Stokes (NS) equations describe fluid dynamics through a high-dimensional, nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) system. Despite their fundamental importance, their behavior in turbulent regimes remains incompletely...

Physical Applications of Fusion 2-Categories
Matthew Yu
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: Fusion 2-categories offer a higher dimensional generalization of the category of symmetries in (1+1)d. I will explain how to leverage fusion 2-categories in a special case and apply them to understand the categorical structure of (3+1)d...
