IAS CMP/QFT Group Meeting

April 28, 2025 | 11:00am - 12:00pm

Abstract: Fusion 2-categories offer a higher dimensional generalization of the category of symmetries in (1+1)d. I will explain how to leverage fusion 2-categories in a special case and apply them to understand the categorical structure of (3+1)d...

Abstract: The James Webb Space Telescope was called the "First Light Machine" when it was being studied as a potential NASA mission.  It quickly became obvious that it would be impossible to prove that the "first" galaxy had been seen, but much more...

IAS Physics Group Meeting

April 16, 2025 | 11:00am - 12:15pm

Abstract: The Navier–Stokes (NS) equations describe fluid dynamics through a high-dimensional, nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) system. Despite their fundamental importance, their behavior in turbulent regimes remains incompletely...
