Physics Calendar

The Physics calendar contains High Energy Theory events hosted by the Institute for Advanced Study and Princeton University. A condensed version of the calendar is sent to the general Physics mailing list on Friday afternoons. Reminder emails are sent the morning of the event. If you are a local faculty member, postdoc or graduate student and would like to be added to the general Physics mailing list, please contact Lisa Fleischer, [email protected]

Members' Colloquium

Blow up for the Incompressible Euler equations with smooth space-time forcing
Tristan Buckmaster
2:00pm|Wolfensohn Hall

In this talk, we will discuss finite-time blow-up of the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations with smooth space-time forcing. We will describe a multiscale mechanism in which hydrodynamic instabilities amplify vorticity at successively...

IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

Thermal Giant Graviton Expansion
Kasia Budzik
3:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS) & Zoom

Abstract: In this talk, I will present a holographic expansion, known as the giant graviton expansion, of the thermal partition function of free N=4 super Yang-Mills. We use the twistorial uplift of self-dual N=4 SYM, which can be engineered in the...

IAS Phenomenology Lunch and Meet

Informal Discussions on Phenomenology and New Theories beyond the Standard Model
12:30pm|Bloomberg Hall Biology Conference Room (1st Floor, Room 113)

This year we will hold a *very informal* get-together every Tuesday of people interested in/working on phenomenology and new theories beyond the standard model.  The idea is to discuss over lunch, meet up around 12.20 pm to grab lunch in the dining...

IAS Physics Group Meeting

Voyages Beyond the Standard Model
Raffaele D'Agnolo
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: I will review the experimental evidence that we have accumulated on physics beyond the Standard Model in the last two decades and draw conclusions on how to move forward. The data point to a scale of new physics far removed from what we...

IAS Quantum Aspects of Black Holes Group Meeting

Euclidean Wormholes and Cosmologies
Panos Betzios
11:00am|Bloomberg Hall Physics Library (IAS)

Abstract: In the context of inflationary cosmology, a natural question concerns its initial conditions (what precedes inflation itself). The Hartle–Hawking (no-boundary) and Vilenkin (tunneling) proposals face complementary paradoxes and can lead to...

IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

String Compactifications and the Axiverse
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS) & Zoom

Abstract: In this talk, I will give an overview of the types of problems I work on in string phenomenology, with a specific view to how to relate Calabi-Yau geometry to axions in four dimensions. I'll discuss the broad-stroke features we find of...

Princeton University LFTP Seminar

The Nanohertz Gravitational-Wave Sky: Status and Prospects from Pulsar Timing Arrays
Matt Miles
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, 4th Floor, LFPT Space

Abstract: Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) are galaxy-sized gravitational-wave detectors built from the extraordinarily stable rotation of millisecond pulsars, designed to observe and understand the gravitational-wave universe at nanohertz frequencies...
