IAS Quantum Aspects of Black Holes Group Meeting

August 28, 2025 | 11:00am - 12:00pm

Abstract: Thermal correlators in large N systems equilibrate at late times, but the precise functional behavior is unknown away from holographic and free field limits. In this talk I will analyze this problem in the case of the SYK model at high...

Abstract: Recent studies by Copetti, Córdova and Komatsu have revealed that when non-invertible symmetries are spontaneously broken, the conventional crossing relation of the S-matrix is modified by the effects of the corresponding topological...

Informal Physics Seminar

June 05, 2025 | 11:00am - 12:30pm

Abstract: We compute the supersymmetric index of half BPS black holes in N=2 supergravity with higher curvature corrections and show that the result agrees with the degeneracy of supersymmetric extremal black holes carrying the same charges. Both...

Princeton University Dark Cosmos Seminar

May 13, 2025 | 4:00pm - 5:00pm

Understanding the nature of dark matter is one of the major goals of modern physics.   The abundance and density profiles of dark matter halos depend directly on dark matter particle physics. Strong gravitational lensing enables a direct measurement...
