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, lisa@ias.edu

IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

Multipartite Edge Modes and Tensor Networks
11:00am|Wolfensohn Hall (IAS) & Zoom

Abstract: Holographic tensor networks model AdS/CFT, but so far they have been limited by involving only systems that are very different from gravity. Unfortunately, we cannot straightforwardly discretize gravity to incorporate it, because that...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar Series

Gravitational Waves on Kerr Black Holes: Reconstruction of Linearized Metric Perturbations
Roman Berens
12:30pm|Princeton University, Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: The gravitational perturbations of a rotating Kerr black hole are notoriously complicated, even at the linear level. In 1973, Teukolsky showed that their physical degrees of freedom are encoded in two gauge-invariant Weyl curvature scalars...

PU High Energy Theory Seminar

Aspects of T Tbar Deformation and the Kernel Formula
Aki Hashimoto
2:30pm|Jadwin Hall, PCTS Room 407

Abstract: In this talk, I will review a simple derivation of an integral kernel formula for the partition function of T Tbar deformed CFT based on the holographic single trace T Tbar deformation and its generalization to J Tbar and J Jbar...

Princeton University Dark Cosmos Seminar

Near-field Cosmology with Stellar Streams
Nora Shipp
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall, Joe Henry Room

Abstract: Stellar streams, the tidal remnants of globular clusters and dwarf galaxies orbiting throughout the Milky Way’s halo, are some of the most powerful tools in the study of near-field cosmology. In particular, they are sensitive probes of the...

IAS Physics Group Meeting

Gravitational Wave Measurements with Pulsar Timing Arrays
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) consist of a set of regularly monitored millisecond pulsars with extremely stable rotational periods. The arrival time of pulses can be altered by the passage of gravitational waves (GWs) between them and the...

Unraveling the mysteries of our Milky Way black hole Sagittarius A*
Sara Issaoun
12:30pm|Princeton University, Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: In 2022, the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration revealed the first images of the shadow of our Milky Way supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). Since its detection in the mid-70s, this bright radio source in the Galactic...
