Abstract: Strong gravitational lenses have provided great insights into the expansion history of the universe and the dark matter distribution from clusters down to sub-galactic scales. Current state-of-the-art measurements involving strong...

Abstract: Over the past few years various platforms have been proposed to quantum-simulate the Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev (SYK) model, a paradigmatic disordered many-body system that admits a holographic dual at low temperatures. A common feature of these...

Abstract:  In this talk, I will present upcoming work studying dynamical solutions, near extremal Reissner—Nordström, of fully coupled Einstein—Maxwell theory with a spherically symmetric neutral scalar field. We prove mathematically that extremal...

Abstract: Higher-form symmetry in a tensor product Hilbert space is always emergent: the symmetry generators become topological only when the Gauss law is energetically enforced at low energies. In this talk, I explain a general method for defining...
