Abstract: One of the unique features of
quantum gravity is the lack of local observables and completeness
of boundary observables (e.g. S-matrix in flat space or CFT
correlators in AdS). I will show that the existence of such
boundary observables is...
The Institute for Advanced Study requires that all adult
visitors, collaborators, conference and on-campus seminar attendees
and outside vendors coming to the Institute are required to have
completed a COVID-19 vaccination and booster in order to...
Abstract: The bootstrap program leverages
symmetry and positivity to carve out the space of
consistent quantum theories. In this talk I will highlight some of
its recent successes, ranging from the numerical solution of
statistical models at...
Abstract: I will discuss a direct
rigorous mathematical proof of the Gregory--Laflamme
instability for the 5D Schwarzschild
black string. This is a mode instability at the level of
the linearised vacuum Einstein equation. Under a choice of
ansatz...
All in-person attendees must be fully vaccinated,
including a booster dose. Individuals must be
prepared to present proof of vaccination and booster if asked but
will not be required to submit proof. Masks are
optional in all indoor spaces.

Abstract: Self-interacting dark
matter (SIDM) offers the potential to mitigate some of the
discrepancies between simulated cold dark matter (CDM) and observed
galactic properties. In various SIDM models, dark
matter particles can scatter with each...
