Abstract: Gravitational waves provide a unique observational handle on the properties of strong, dynamical gravity. Black hole ringdowns, in particular, cleanly encode information about the structure of black holes, allowing us to test fundamental...

Abstract: I will discuss the worldsheet sigma-model whose target space is the d+1...

Abstract: I will recall steps taken here at Princeton that led from the schematic physics of the cosmology I encountered in the mid-1960s to the present well-tested LCDM theory, and offer some lessons from the past on the future of research in...

Abstract: Quantum error correction has given us a natural language for the emergence of spacetime, but the black hole...

Abstract: Are black holes stable? This question, which has played a central role in General Relativity ever since the discoveries of the Schwarzschild (1916) and Kerr (1963) solutions, can be formulated as a remarkably simple to state mathematical...

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.
