calendar dates

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 Quantum Aspects of Black Holes Group Meeting

A Compendium of Logarithmic Corrections in AdS/CFT
Nikolay Bobev
11:00am|Bloomberg Hall Physics Library

Abstract: I will discuss the log(N) corrections to the Euclidean gravitational path integral in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence for 3d SCFTs arising from N M2-branes. These corrections can be computed in 4d gravity using heat kernel...

PU High Energy Theory Seminar

An Alternative Approach to Solving Two-Dimensional Adjoint QCD
Uwe Trittmann
3:00pm|Jadwin Hall, PCTS Room 407

Abstract: The method of exhaustively-symmetrized light-cone quantization (eLCQ) is described. As a continuous approach to solving quantum bound-state problems, it exploits the symmetries of physical systems to generate an optimal set of basis...

Princeton University Donald R. Hamilton Lecture

The many uses of emergent perfection in large quantum systems
Joel E. Moore
8:00pm|McDonnell Hall, A-02

Abstract: An underappreciated aspect of quantum mechanics is that large, relatively imperfect systems can show behavior that is as precise and reproducible as anything in nature. The first example was the observation of superconductivity in 1911...

IAS CMT/QFT Group Meeting

Lattice Realization of Topological Defects in 2D Conformal Field Theories (CFTs)
Madhav Sinha
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: Topological defect lines in 2D CFTs have found resurgence in the context of categorical symmetries. In this talk, I will present the lattice realization of these for unitary Minimal Models. I will use Spin chains, such as Transverse Field...

IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

" “Unnecessary” Quantum Critical Points in Condensed Matter and Field Theory"
Senthil Todadri
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS) & Zoom

Abstract: Quantum critical points usually separate two distinct phases of matter. Here I will discuss a class of "unnecessary" quantum critical points that lie within a single phase of matter (much like the liquid-gas transition, except that they...

IAS Physics Group Meeting

On a $Z_3$ Topological Term in 10d Heterotic String Theories
Yuji Tachikawa
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: I will compare the gravitational sectors of two 10d heterotic string theories, with E8 x E8 and Spin(32)/$Z_2$ gauge groups, and show that they differ by a subtle $Z_3$-valued topological term. I also discuss its relation to the...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar Series

Bubbles of AdS as Black Hole Mimickers
Suvendu Giri
12:30pm|Princeton University, Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: I will present a case for the striking resemblance between bubbles of anti-de Sitter (AdS) within Minkowski spacetime and black holes. These solutions of Einstein’s equations are motivated by high-energy physics and lack horizons. We will...
