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

Geometric Symmetries for Black Hole Tidal Love Numbers
John Staunton
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: We present a unified geometric perspective on the symmetries underlying the spin 0, 1, and 2 static perturbations around a Schwarzschild black hole. The symmetries are exact, each forming an SO(3,1) group. They can be formulated at the...

IAS CMP/QFT Group Meeting

Lieb-Schultz-Mattis Constraints from Stratified Anomalies of Modulated Symmetries
Salvatore Pace
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: We introduce stratified symmetry operators and stratified anomalies, which generalize onsite symmetry operators and onsite projective representations in quantum lattice systems. A stratified symmetry operator is a symmetry operator that...

IAS Quantum Aspects of Black Holes Group Meeting

Continuing Past the Inner Horizon Using WKB
Ahmed Almheiri
11:00am|Bloomberg Hall Physics Library & Zoom

Abstract: Features of the black hole interior can be extracted from the analytic structure of boundary correlation functions. Working in the geodesic approximation, we find analytic continuations that probe the interior of rotating and charged black...

IAS CMP/QFT Group Meeting

Classifying 2D Gapped Phases on the Lattice, Up to Invertible Phases
Daniel Ranard
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: We often say two gapped lattice Hamiltonians are in the same topological phase if they are connected by a path of gapped Hamiltonians. For 2D spin systems, it is conjectured that each phase is uniquely specified by the modular tensor...
