Princeton University High Energy Theory Seminar

Black Hole Mimickers: BPS Case Study
Yoav Zigdon
2:30pm|Jadwin Hall, 4th Floor, PCTS Room 407

Abstract: Type II string theory has BPS brane bound states that carry two charges. I will show that their microcanonical ensemble average corresponds to a spherical black hole mimicker, which possesses a long throat, shares the same asymptotic data...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Spring Seminar Series

On Singularity Resolution at a Geometric UV Scale
Arvin Shahbazi-Moghaddam
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: A remarkable feature of general relativity is the presence of spacetime singularities. One of the central aims of a complete theory of (quantum) gravity is to resolve these singularities. In this talk, I will describe ongoing work—building...

Why Null Infinity is not Smooth, and how to Measure It
Leonhard Kehrberger
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: Be it numerical, formal, or rigorous, the typical setup for the evolution of spacetimes describing, for instance, the merger of two black holes is to make an ad hoc assumption on the initial data to have compactly supported gravitational...
