Princeton University Donald R. Hamilton Colloquium Series

Physics meets Geometry: A Fuzzy Sphere Odyssey in Critical Phenomena
Yin-Chen He
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall A-10

Abstract: Historically, the synergy between physics and geometry, from the time of Archimedes and Newton to the era of Einstein, has repeatedly catalyzed breakthroughs in physics and mathematics. In this presentation, we will explore a new narrative...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Spring Seminar Series

Phase Space of JT Gravity with Positive Cosmological Constant
Elba Alonso- Monsalve
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: We construct the classical phase space of Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity with positive cosmological constant on spatial slices with circle topology. We identify solutions not previously discussed in the literature, and find the phase space...

Princeton University Special Seminar

Unveiling Compact Objects in Diverse Environments Through Fast Radio Bursts
Lindy Elkins-Tanton
12:30pm|Princeton University, Guyot Room 10

The asteroid (16) Psyche may be the metal-rich remnant of a differentiated planetesimal, or it may be a highly reduced, metal-rich asteroidal material that never differentiated. The NASA Psyche mission aims to determine Psyche’s provenance. How did...
