Princeton University SFIR: Star Formation/ISM Rendezvous

Thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect in the Circumgalactic Medium of L* Galaxies
Amiel Sternberg
2:00pm|Peyton Dome Rm

I will describe our recent paper Oren+ 2024 arXiv2403.09476 in which we analyze recent observations of the the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect arising in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of L* galaxies. We make use of analytic models and...

Joint IAS/PU Arithmetic Geometry

Perfectoidness via Sen Theory and Applications to Shimura Varieties
3:35pm|*Princeton University, Fine Hall 224*

Sen's theorem on the ramification of a p-adic analytic Galois extension of p-adic local fields shows that its perfectoidness is equivalent to the non-vanishing of its arithmetic Sen operator. By developing p-adic Hodge theory for general valuation...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

A New Approach to Strong Convergence
10:30am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

It was conjectured by Alon in the 1980s that random d-regular graphs have the largest possible spectral gap (up to negligible error) among all d-regular graphs. This conjecture was proved by Friedman in 2004 in major tour de force. In recent years...
