Abstract: A decade of work in band theory has built towards an understanding of topology that is largely based on the character theory of the space group. The (thousands of) topological materials predicted in this way provide a diverse set of...

Abstract: I will discuss a paper I wrote with Juan and Yiming Chen (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.11617.pdf). I will briefly motivate the discussion by explaining how the double cone wormhole was proposed in the context of spectral form factors (first...

Abstract: We identify degeneracies in the energy spectra of quantum theories that occur at integer values of the continuous parameter N of an analytically continued global O(N) symmetry. The degeneracies are enforced by the requirement that...

Abstract: I will give a short overview of 2312.12592 where Juan and I compute the three point amplitude in BFSS by relating the amplitude to an index computation. I will first give a quick introduction to BFSS and motivate the computation. I will...

Abstract: I will discuss log corrections to the gravitational path integral around asymptotically Euclidean AdS4 backgrounds that arise from the compactification of string/M-theory. The heat kernel method will be utilized, which divides the log...

Abstract: This talk will explore recent insights into the structure of classical self dual gravity and non-Kerr-Newman black holes from the study of celestial holography and scattering amplitudes. “Self dual gravity” refers to a theory in which the...
