IAS CMP/QFT Group Meeting

Physical Applications of Fusion 2-Categories
Matthew Yu
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: Fusion 2-categories offer a higher dimensional generalization of the category of symmetries in (1+1)d. I will explain how to leverage fusion 2-categories in a special case and apply them to understand the categorical structure of (3+1)d...

Decay for Massless Vlasov Fields on Schwarzschild Spacetimes - A Hamiltonian Approach
Renato Velozo Ruiz
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: In this talk, I will present a Hamiltonian approach to show decay for massless Vlasov fields on the exterior of black hole backgrounds. Vlasov fields are transported along the geodesic flow, and so, the existence of trapped geodesics is an...

Princeton University High Energy Theory Seminar

Quantum Simulating Holographic Duality
Julian Sonner
2:30pm|Jadwin Hall, PCTS Room 407

Abstract: Holographic duality posits that quantum gravity under the assumption of certain boundary conditions is described by strongly interacting quantum matter. In the context of a theory-experiment consortium (Lausanne-Geneva-Trento-Zürich), we...

Plectic Lie algebra action on the cohomology of Hilbert modular varieties
Lue Pan
3:35pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

A result of Jan Nekovář says that the Galois action on p-adic intersection cohomology of Hilbert modular varieties with coefficients in automorphic local systems is semisimple. We will explain a new proof of this result for the non-CM part of the...

The Dragonfly Project: From Diffuse Galaxies to the Cosmic Web
Pieter van Dokkum
11:00am|Peyton Hall, Auditorium, Princeton University

The Dragonfly project is developing a new class of telescopes optimized for low surface brightness astronomy. Originally designed to test the ΛCDM prediction that galaxies are embedded in extended tidal debris fields, Dragonfly combines the light...
