Special Year Research Seminar

On the Maximum of a Twisted Divisor Function
Dimitris Koukoulopoulos
2:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Given $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and $\xi\in\mathbb{R}$, let $\tau(n;\xi)=\sum_{d|n}d^{i\xi}$. Hall and Tenenbaum asked in their book \textit{Divisors} what is the value of $\max_{\xi\in[1,2]} |\tau(n;\xi)|$ for a ``typical'' integer $n$. I will present work...

Princeton Center for Heliophysics Seminar

Into the Fire: Plasma Physics of the Turbulent Solar Corona
Steve Cranmer
3:00pm|Virtual Meeting

The solar corona is the hot and ionized outer atmosphere of the Sun. It traces out the complex solar magnetic field and expands into interplanetary space as the supersonic solar wind. In 1958, Eugene Parker theorized that the presence of a million...

Special Year Research Seminar

Recognizing Groups in Erdős Geometry and Model Theory
Artem Chernikov
3:30pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Erdős-style geometry is concerned with combinatorial questions about simple geometric objects, such as counting incidences between finite sets of points, lines, etc. These questions can be typically viewed as asking for the possible number of...

Princeton University Dark Cosmos Seminar

Molecules For Dark Matter Detection
Ben Lillard
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall, Joe Henry Room

Abstract: Organic scintillators are a promising avenue for the direct detection of sub-GeV dark matter (DM). With eV-scale excitation energies that rival the sensitivity of semiconductor targets, they can be produced in bulk and purified relatively...

Marston Morse Lectures

From Nonlocal Games to Undecidability
Thomas Vidick
11:00am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access - see Zoom link below

In this lecture I will present basic elements of the theory of nonlocal games from quantum information theory and give some examples. I will then introduce the idea of "compressing" the complexity of nonlocal games, and show how the right form of...
