Joint IAS/PU Number Theory Seminar

Twist-Parametrized Points on Modular Curves
Filip Najman
3:30pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

An important open problem is to classify rational points on all modular curves, or equivalently to classify the possible adelic Galois images of elliptic curves over Q, as envisioned in Mazur’s Program B. However, this problem is inherently infinite...

Special Campus Community Lecture

40 Years of Evolution: Darwin’s Finches
Rosemary Grant and Peter Grant
5:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

In the “Origin of Species” Charles Darwin established the scientific basis for understanding how evolution occurs by natural selection. To explain how new species form he envisioned a three-step process involving colonization of a new area...

IAS/Princeton/Montreal/Paris/Tel-Aviv Symplectic Geometry Zoominar

Geometry and Dynamics of Domains in the Cotangent Bundles of Tori
Jun Zhang
9:15am|Remote Access

In Euclidean spaces, star-shaped domains (also known as Liouville domains) are fundamental objects in modern symplectic geometry. Several important subclasses have been introduced and studied, including dynamically convex domains, geometrically...

Princeton University High Energy Theory Seminar

Regge's Inferno
Zohar Komargodski
11:00am|Jadwin Hall, PCTS Room 407

Abstract: We study large-spin operators in conformal field theories (CFTs) in spacetime dimensions d>2 by placing the theory on appropriate pp-wave backgrounds. From thermodynamics on these spacetimes, we obtain strong constraints on the asymptotic...
