Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar Series

The Statistical Mechanics of Semiclassical Black Holes
Jonathan Sorce
12:30pm|Princeton University, Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: Classical black holes obey laws of thermodynamics, which suggests that quantum black holes are complicated statistical systems. This supposition has been validated in specific examples using string theory and holography, but a general...

Cosmology from DESI's First Year of Large-Scale Structure Measurements
Kyle Dawson (University of Utah)
11:00am|Wolfensohn Hall

Over a five-year period, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) will spectroscopically classify nearly 40 million galaxies and quasars over 1/3 of the sky and to redshifts z 3.5. The DESI collaboration has completed measurements of the...

Princeton University Donald R. Hamilton Colloquium Series

Charting Quantum Frontiers: Unveiling Nature's Essence through First-Principles Simulation of Fundamental Forces
Christian Bauer
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall A-10

Abstract: The Standard Model of particle physics grapples with notable gaps, failing to elucidate critical aspects of our universe, such as the existence of dark matter and the intriguing baryon-antibaryon asymmetry. Unraveling the mysteries...

Institute for Advanced Study / Princeton University Joint Astrophysics Colloquium

Stars Disrupted, Destroyed and Coalesced
Iair Arcavi (Tel Aviv University)
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall

Supernovae, tidal disruption events and merging neutron stars can provide a wealth of physical insights from nuclear physics to cosmology; they can teach us about the creation of the elements, the formation of compact objects, accretion processes...
