Princeton University Dark Cosmos Seminar

Cosmological concordance from the early universe to the near field
Vera Gluscevic
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall, Joe Henry Room

Details: Cosmological observables, from the Lyman-alpha forest to the Milky Way substructure, offer unique avenues for probing dark matter and neutrino sectors. Moreover, they often reveal anomalies and tensions that could signal new physics. I will...

Princeton University Donald R. Hamilton Colloquium Series

Supernova Explosion Theory: The Emergence of Insight from Complexity
Adam Burrows
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall A-10

Abstract: The theory of compact-object birth and core-collapse supernovae is now entering a new and productive phase of rapid insight into themechanism and systematics of explosion. The panoramic perspective provided by the recent access to tens of...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar

What is an R7-Brane?
Jonathan Heckman
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: The Swampland Cobordism conjecture asserts that in quantum gravity, any spacetime can terminate, i.e., the cobordism group of quantum gravity is trivial. A striking consequence of this conjecture is that it predicts the existence of...

Black Hole Non-linear Stability: A Mathematical Overview
Elena Giorgi
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: In this talk, I will survey key geometric and analytic aspects of black hole perturbations, focusing on recent advances in understanding their dynamical stability, with a particular emphasis on the recent proof of the full nonlinear...

Princeton University Dark Cosmos Seminar

Freezing-in the Axiverse
Christipher Dessert
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall, Joe Henry Room

Abstract - The presence of light axions in the infrared is a generic feature of many ultraviolet (UV) scenarios, including string theory, with the number of such axions N naturally O(10-100). Even when these axions interact very weakly with the...
