IAS Amplitudes Group Meeting

October 24, 2023 | 2:30pm - 4:00pm

Abstract: Recent developments in massive on-shell scattering amplitudes in 4D have opened the door to understanding particle physics efficiently from an on-shell point-of-view, including on-shell notions of minimal coupling and black holes as...

PU High Energy Theory Seminar

October 23, 2023 | 2:30pm - 3:30pm

Abstract: A review of the concept of Krylov Complexity(K- Complexity) will be presented. One feature of K-Complexity is that its definition does not involve a tolerance parameter.

I will describe some general properties of K-Complexity, its behavior...

IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

October 20, 2023 | 11:00am - 12:15pm

Abstract: I will talk about the invariants of topologically ordered states of quantum lattice systems that generalize Berry classes and can be defined for any gapped state in any dimension. The equivariant version of such invariants unifies and...

IAS Physics Group Meeting

October 18, 2023 | 2:30pm - 4:00pm

Abstract: While von Neumann entropies for local subregions in quantum field theory universally contain ultraviolet divergences, there is widespread belief that differences between von Neumann entropies can be finite and well-defined in many...

Princeton University Dark Cosmos Seminar

October 17, 2023 | 4:00pm - 5:00pm

Pulsar timing arrays {PTAs) and gravitational wave detectors can serve as valuable tools in the detection of dark matter. Dark matter substructure within the Milky Way Galaxy can induce gravitational pulls on pulsars, leading to observable...

IAS Amplitudes Group Meeting

October 17, 2023 | 2:30pm - 4:00pm

Abstract: In this talk we will discuss how two objects of great interest to both mathematicians and physicists are connected.

On one hand, Amplituhedra are the image under a linear map of the positive part of the Grassmannian -- where all the...

IAS Quantum Aspects of Black Holes Group Meeting

October 17, 2023 | 10:00am - 11:00am

Abstract: Recently, it has been argued that in certain settings, the entropy of a region in semiclassical quantum gravity can be computed in a UV-finite way using tools from the theory of operator algebras. I will attempt to formulate the most...

IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

October 16, 2023 | 2:30pm - 3:30pm

Abstract: Kinematically, massless particles in Lorentz-invariant theories are classified by a dimensionful "spin scale"ρ  (2nd Casimir invariant) that characterizes helicity states' mixing under little group transformations.  However, dynamics for...
