I will discuss a novel operator algebraic approach to produce sequences of strongly converging unitary representations in various new families of groups. Various open questions are answered, notably some with geometric significance in minimal...

Abstract: I will describe a proposal for the CFT dual of the D1-D5-D5' system in the tensionless limit. More specifically, I will consider the case of a single D1-brane, and study the limit in which $g$ $Q_5^\pm \rightarrow 0$, with $g$ the string...

Abstract: We review the Memory Burden Effect and its potential implications for systems such as  black holes, both primordial and astrophysical, QFT solitons and quantum systems in table top labs. The phenomenon is universal in systems of efficient...

Gourmet dinner is limited to Institute Members, Faculty, Staff, Friends of the Institute, and their guests.

Fix a system of polynomial equations with integer coefficients. Surprisingly, its complex solution set (an analytic/topological object) is intimately linked to its solution sets over finite fields (discrete/algebraic objects). This talk will discuss...

We consider the problem of explicitly constructing binary linear codes achieving the optimal rate-distance tradeoff.  In 2017, Ta-Shma gave an almost-optimal construction in the low-rate regime, i.e., he gave a construction of binary linear codes...
