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 Quantum Aspects of Black Holes Group Meeting

One-Loop Aspects of de Sitter Axion Wormholes
Victor Ivo
11:00am|Bloomberg Hall Physics Library

Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss the one-loop determinant around axion wormholes in de Sitter. I will begin by reviewing these solutions, and explain our strategy to compute the one-loop determinant around them. 

I will then discuss general...

IAS CMP/QFT Group Meeting

What comes after A-D-E?
Terry Gannon
11:00am|Bloomberg Hall Physics Library (IAS)

Abstract: In 1987, Cappelli-Itzykson-Zuber classified all WZW models for sl(2), and found that they fell into an A-D-E pattern. Using this, they then classified all the Virasoro minimal models. The progress in extending this to higher rank Lie...
