Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Analog Coding, List Decoding, Bandwidth, and Mean Dimension
10:30am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

Suppose we have some system X, that evolves over time. We want to communicate the status of a point in X at all times using a bandwidth limited channel. How big a bandwidth is needed to achieve this? And what is the connection to Shannon entropy and...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar

Introducing GW250114: the loudest gravitational-wave signal demonstrating ten years of progress in gravitational-wave astronomy
Teagan Clarke
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: Ten years after the landmark discovery of gravitational waves, the field of gravitational-wave astronomy is thriving. Hundreds of gravitational-wave signals from merging black holes and neutron stars have been observed. GW250114 is the...

Princeton University High Energy Theory Seminar

Fortuity and Hairy Black Holes in AdS
Sunjin Choi
2:30pm|Jadwin Hall, PCTS Room 407

Abstract: By analyzing the properties of fortuitous operators in N=4 SYM, I will present a construction of supersymmetric hairy black holes in AdS5. Based on this construction, I will propose a microcanonical phase diagram in AdS5, exhibiting...

IAS Phenomenology Lunch and Meet

Information Discussions on Phenomenology and New Theories beyond the Standard Model
12:30pm|Bloomberg Hall Biology Conference Room (1st Floor, Room 113)

This semester, we will be beginning a *very informal* get-together every Monday of people interested in/working on phenomenology and new theories beyond the standard model.  The idea is to discuss over lunch, perhaps meet up around 12.20, grab lunch...

Analysis and Mathematical Physics

Fast Dynamo Action On The 3-Torus For Pulsed-Diffusions
Massimo Sorella
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

For the passive vector equation, the fast dynamo conjecture predicts exponential-in-time growth of the $L^2$ norm of the solution under the Lipschitz flow generated by a vector field, at a rate independent of the resistivity. We prove this...

IAS Amplitudes Group Meeting

DMB: Formula or Hoax?
Jan Albert
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: Almost 60 years ago, Dashen, Ma and Bernstein, while at the IAS, put forward a formula to compute the partition function of a relativistic gas at finite temperature in terms of the scattering matrices of its constituents. If correct, such...

Joint IAS/PU Groups and Dynamics Seminar

Polynomially Effective Equidistribution for Some Higher Dimensional Unipotent Subgroups
Zuo Lin
4:30pm|Simonyi 101

Let $G$ be a perfect Lie group, $\Gamma$ be a lattice in $G$ and $U$ be a unipotent subgroup of $G$. A celebrated theorem of Ratner says that for any $x$ in $G/\Gamma$ the orbit $U.x$ is equidistributed in a periodic orbit of some subgroup $U \leq L...
