Special Year Seminar II

Cotangent Schubert Calculus
10:00am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Schubert Calculus studies cohomology rings in (generalized) flag varieties, equipped with a distinguished basis - the fundamental classes of Schubert varieties - with structure constants satisfying many desirable properties. Cotangent Schubert...

Institute for Advanced Study Astrophysics Seminar

Circumplanetary Disks
Phil Armitage
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall

The common observation that Jupiter's Galilean moons resemble a miniature Solar System has long been seen as evidence that young giant planets are surrounded by circumplanetary disks of gas and dust. Recently, one circumplanetary disk - around the...

Joint PU/IAS Number Theory

The Orbit Method and Analysis in Representation Theory
Trajan Hammonds
3:30pm|314 Fine Hall

In the 1960s, Kirillov’s orbit method provided a striking correspondence between irreducible representations of a Lie group $G$ and certain geometric objects called coadjoint orbits. In 2021, Nelson and Venkatesh profitably adapted this method to...

Princeton University Donald R. Hamilton Colloquium Series

Berry Curvatures and Adiabatic Observables
Raffaele Resta
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall A-10

Abstract: A sharp definition of what “adiabatic” means is given; it is then shown that the time-dependent expectation value of a quantum-mechanical observable in the adiabatic limit can be expressed— in many cases—by means of the appropriate Berry...

Princeton University Galread [Galactic/Extragalactic Reading Group]

TBA
Olivia Cooper
11:00am|Zoom and Peyton Hall, Grand Central

Each week, we hold a relatively informal seminar/discussion series with an emphasis on extra-galactic and large-scale structure astrophysics.

During Galread a leader/visitor presents a recent paper to the discussion group. The PDF of the paper is...
