Princeton Center for Heliophysics Seminar

Collisionless Heating in Clusters of Galaxies
Ellen Zweibel
2:00pm|Virtual Meeting

Clusters of galaxies are pervaded by plasma which is hot, tenuous, magnetized, and host to a population of relativistic cosmic rays. The cooling time of this gas can be estimated from its observed radiative output, and found to be much shorter than...

Lower Bounds on Lyapunov Exponents for Linear PDEs Driven by Stochastic Navier-Stokes
Samuel Punshon-Smith
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

I will present recent work with Hairer, Rosati and Yi establishing quantitative lower bounds for the top Lyapunov exponent of linear PDEs driven by two-dimensional stochastic Navier-Stokes equations on the torus. For both the advection-diffusion...

IAS Amplitudes Group Meeting

Zeros and Infinities of the Kinematic Mesh
Shruti Paranjape
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: We begin with understanding scalar color-ordered amplitudes via the kinematic mesh and the ABHY associahedron. There are three important aspects of this construction: its zeros, large deformations and splitting. The zeros will imply the...

Princeton University Dark Cosmos Seminar

Baryons are Friends,Baryons are Friends, not Foes: How they can tighten dark matter constraints on small scales
Stacy Kim
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall, Joe Henry Room

The identity of dark matter is one of the biggest outstanding questions in astrophysics today. The smallest galaxies in the universe, dwarf galaxies, are powerful probes of its identity, as they are composed predominantly of dark matter.  However...

Joint IAS/PU Groups and Dynamics Seminar

Using Logic to Investigate Homeomorphism Groups of Manifolds
Thomas Koberda
4:30pm|Simonyi 101

It is a classical fact that countable groups of homeomorphisms of the interval and the circle are characterized by purely algebraic properties, namely linear and circular orderability. It remains a difficult and deep problem to understand countable...

Special Year Seminar I

Schubert Calculus on Peterson Varieties
Rebecca Goldin
2:00pm|Simonyi 101

We will discuss combinatorial and algebraic aspects of regular Hessenberg varieties, a large class of subvarieties of the flag variety G/B. For the special case of Peterson varieties, we show their equivariant structure constants are non-negative...
