Princeton University Donald R. Hamilton Colloquium Series

100 years of Quantum Mechanics: A solid state physicist reports from the half-time show
Piers Coleman
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall A-10

Abstract: Celebrating a hundred years of quantum mechanics, the United Nations has declared 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. This is not only an occasion to step back and marvel at the progress, it also raises the...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Spring Seminar Series

A Few Extremal Surprises
Maciej Kolanowski
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: I will review a series of results regarding the extremal limit of generic black holes in both Einstein and Einstein-Maxwell theory. We will see that in AdS, at low temperatures, large tidal forces arise at the horizon. These tidal forces...

Princeton University High Energy Theory Seminar

Infinitely Many New Renormalization Group Flows Between Virasoro Minimal Models from Non-Invertible Symmetries
Yu Nakayama
2:30pm|Jadwin Hall, PCTS Room 407

Abstract: We discuss the role of non-invertible symmetries in RG flows between Virasoro minimal models. They give infinitely many new constraints by generalizing the notion of anomaly matching to non-invertible symmetries, leading to the predictions...

Princeton University High Energy Theory Seminar

Emanant Chiral Supersymmetry in 1+1 Fermions on Lattice
Yu Nakayama
11:00am|Jadwin Hall, 4th Floor, PGI Space

Abstract: The appearance of chiral symmetry from lattice fermions has been a non-trivial issue over many years. We apply the idea of "emanant chiral symmetry" by Seiberg and Shao to study the "emanant chiral supersymmetry" on the 1+1 dimensional...
