Princeton University High Energy Theory Seminar

December 01, 2025 | 2:30pm - 3:30pm

Abstract: Over the past few years various platforms have been proposed to quantum-simulate the Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev (SYK) model, a paradigmatic disordered many-body system that admits a holographic dual at low temperatures. A common feature of these...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar

December 01, 2025 | 12:30pm - 1:30pm

Abstract:  In this talk, I will present upcoming work studying dynamical solutions, near extremal Reissner—Nordström, of fully coupled Einstein—Maxwell theory with a spherically symmetric neutral scalar field. We prove mathematically that extremal...

IAS CMP/QFT Group Meeting

December 01, 2025 | 11:00am - 12:00pm

Abstract: Higher-form symmetry in a tensor product Hilbert space is always emergent: the symmetry generators become topological only when the Gauss law is energetically enforced at low energies. In this talk, I explain a general method for defining...

IAS Quantum Aspects of Black Holes Group Meeting

November 20, 2025 | 11:00am - 12:00pm

Abstract: I will review the correspondence between highly excited strings and black holes in the presence of angular momentum. At fixed imaginary angular velocity $\nu$, free strings exhibit a Hagedorn instability, explained—as in Atick and Witten...

Princeton University Dark Cosmos Seminar

November 18, 2025 | 4:00pm - 5:30pm

Abstract: Gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters has emerged as a powerful tool to probe the standard CDM paradigm of structure formation in the Universe. Despite the remarkable explanatory power of CDM on large scales, tensions with observations...
