Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Resolution of the Kohayakawa--Kreuter Conjecture
Raphael Steiner
10:30am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

A graph $G$ is said to be Ramsey for a tuple of graphs ($H_1,...,H_r$) if every $r$-coloring of the edges of $G$ contains a monochromatic copy of $H_i$ in color $i$, for some $i$. A fundamental question at the intersection of Ramsey theory and the...

Princeton Center for Heliophysics Seminar

Looking at Plasma Turbulence Through a Microscope: Peering into the Smallest Scales of the Turbulent Cascade with Magnetospheric Multiscale and Beyond
Julia Stawarz
2:00pm|Virtual Meeting

Plasmas throughout the Universe are filled with complex, highly nonlinear turbulent fluctuations that transfer energy from the large driving scales down to the smallest scales where energy can be most efficiently dissipated. In the absence of...

Amateur Astronomers Association of Princeton (AAAP) Monthly Meeting

Studying Supernova Remnants using JWST Imagery
Tea Temim
7:30pm|Peyton Hall & Zoom

Supernova explosions are among the most energetic events in the universe and they play a key role in shaping the energy balance, structure, and chemical content of galaxies. They are responsible for the formation and distribution of heavy elements...

Princeton University Thunch Talk

Intracluster Light in the Core of z~2 Galaxy Proto-clusters
Stephane Werner (Durham University)
12:00pm|Peyton Hall, Grand Central

Intracluster light is thought to originate from stars that were ripped away from their parent galaxies by gravitational tides and galaxy interactions during the build up of the cluster. The stars from such interactions will accumulate over time, so...

Deligne-Lusztig theory: examples and applications
Charlotte Chan
9:30am|Simonyi Hall 101

Abstract: Geometry and representation theory are intertwined in deep and foundational ways. One of the most important instances of this relationship was uncovered in the 1970s by Deligne and Lusztig: the representation theory of matrix groups over...

A Glimpse into the Langlands Program
10:45am|Simonyi Hall 101

Abstract: The goal of this lecture series is to give you a glimpse into the Langlands program, a central topic at the intersection of algebraic number theory, algebraic geometry and representation theory. In the first lecture, we will look at a...
