Abstract: Using the modified Villain lattice Hamiltonian formulation of the 1+1d compact boson theory, we construct exactly solvable abelian chiral lattice gauge theories in two spacetime dimensions. As a concrete example, we derive an explicit...

Abstract: I will survey recent developments in the matrix bootstrap, a non-perturbative method for solving large N quantum systems, including applications to the c=1 string and BFSS. I will also discuss work in progress with Klebanov and...

Abstract: In this talk, I will survey key geometric and analytic aspects of black hole perturbations, focusing on recent advances in understanding their dynamical stability, with a particular emphasis on the recent proof of the full nonlinear...

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

Abstract: Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) is a well-motivated extension of ΛCDM that can alter the inner structure of haloes via collisional heat transport. It has been explored as a possible solution to small-scale tensions such as the cusp-...
