IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

December 08, 2025 | 2:30pm - 3:30pm

Abstract: Entanglement Bootstrap is a research program to understand and extract the universal data of quantum many body states from local entanglement information.  Since this universal data is usually encoded in a quantum field theory, the program...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar

December 08, 2025 | 12:30pm - 1:30pm

Abstract: In AdS/CFT, a spacetime geometry is said to contain a python's lunch when there exist choices of boundary regions with associated entanglement wedges that contain locally but not globally minimal surfaces. Previously, such geometries have...

IAS CMP/QFT Group Meeting

December 08, 2025 | 11:00am - 12:00pm

Abstract: I will sketch a theory of finite, generalized symmetries of 2D QFTs which live at the boundary of a bulk topological theory in one higher dimension, emphasizing various new ingredients which arise in the presence of a nontrivial bulk. This...

Princeton University Dark Cosmos Seminar

December 02, 2025 | 4:00pm - 5:30pm

Abstract: Strong gravitational lenses have provided great insights into the expansion history of the universe and the dark matter distribution from clusters down to sub-galactic scales. Current state-of-the-art measurements involving strong...
