Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar Series

Bubbles of AdS as Black Hole Mimickers
Suvendu Giri
12:30pm|Princeton University, Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: I will present a case for the striking resemblance between bubbles of anti-de Sitter (AdS) within Minkowski spacetime and black holes. These solutions of Einstein’s equations are motivated by high-energy physics and lack horizons. We will...

PU High Energy Theory Seminar

Bootstrapping N = 4 sYM Using Integrability
Zahra Zahraee
2:30pm|Jadwin Hall, PCTS Room 407

Abstract: In this talk we use integrability data to bootstrap correlation functions of planar maximally supersymmetric Yang- Mills theory, focusing on four-point correlation function of stress-tensor. First, we start by demonstrating why the...

Princeton University Dark Cosmos Seminar

Probing Inflation from Antarctica: Improving Cosmology Constraints with the Cosmic Microwave Background and Line Intensity Mapping
Jessica Avva Zebrowski
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall, Joe Henry Room

Abstract: Inflation, the theory describing a period of exponential superluminal expansion in the early universe, is both a proposed solution to the large-scale structure we see in our night sky and a mystery of which we have little experimental...

Terrestrial Quantum Gravity Tests
Dan Carney
12:30pm|Princeton University, Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: I will give an overview of recent activity based on the idea that we can test quantum properties of the gravitational field in experiments. I will emphasize the need to state precisely what hypotheses are being tested by showing some...

Physics Potential at a future Muon Collider
Cari Cesarotti
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall, Joe Henry Room

Abstract: A clear outcome of Snowmass 2021 and now the US P5 report was the community support for R&D towards a future muon collider. In this talk we will discuss the general physics program that becomes available to the community during the...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar Series

Forming Truncated Accretion Disks
Gibwa Musoke
12:30pm|Princeton University, Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: Black hole X-ray binaries and Active Galactic Nuclei transition through a series of accretion states in a well-defined order. During a state transition, the accretion flow changes from a hot geometrically thick accretion flow, emitting a...
