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]

IAS CMP/QFT Group Meeting

Anomalous Wess–Zumino Quantization in Two Dimensions
Changha Choi
11:00am|Bloomberg Hall Physics Library (IAS)

Abstract: Anomalies can modify the quantization of topological couplings, as occurs in the three-dimensional parity anomaly. We will discuss a two-dimensional analogue in sigma models with Majorana-Weyl fermions and compact Lie group targets. By...

Princeton University LFTP Seminar

Universality in the Axiverse
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, 4th Floor, LFTP Space

Abstract: In this talk I will explain how hierarchies in divisor volumes in Calabi-Yau threefolds give rise to distinctive axion effective theories in string compactifications. I will then provide evidence that distributions of divisor volumes have...

IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

The O(N) Grassmannian
Hayden Lee
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS) & Zoom

Abstract: I will discuss recent progress on a Grassmannian formulation of correlation functions in the large-N O(N) vector model, motivated by higher-spin holography. The formulation leads to a remarkably simple n-point formula and suggests an...

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

A Precision Bound for Gravitational Transseries
Ji Hoon Lee
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: We argue that the large N transseries of a holographic observable above the black hole threshold admits a precision bound, a limit on how precisely the transseries can determine the observable at finite N, set by the data of its D-brane...

Princeton University Donald R. Hamilton Colloquium Series

New Paradigms for Disordered Quantum Materials
Rahul Nandkishore
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall A-10

Abstract: I will discuss recent theoretical and experimental developments in our ability to understand and interrogate disordered quantum materials, and how marrying new theoretical perspectives to new experimental capabilities can yield new...
