Princeton University Special Physics Seminar

September 16, 2024 | 11:00am - 12:00pm

Abstract: Tensor network states are new kinds of variational wavefunctions that help us to understand quantum phases and phase transitions beyond Landau paradigm. In this talk, I will first review the major development of tensor network simulation...

IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

September 13, 2024 | 11:00am - 12:15pm

Abstract: I will introduce a new 2d gravity/matrix integral duality. The bulk theory is a two-dimensional string theory defined by coupling two copies of Liouville CFT with central charges c = 13 ± is on the worldsheet. We call this string theory...

Princeton University Dark Cosmos Seminar

September 10, 2024 | 4:00pm - 5:30pm

Abstract: The large-scale structure of our Universe is well described by a model in which matter is predominantly Cold Dark Matter (CDM). While CDM was initially thought to have trouble reproducing the small scales of our Universe (dwarf galaxies...

IAS Amplitudes Group Meeting

September 10, 2024 | 2:30pm - 4:00pm

Description: During the IAS Amplitudes Group Meetings, we discuss recent results about scattering amplitudes and have pedagogical overview lectures on well-established topics in scattering theory. In this introductory meeting, we will decide on the...
