Abstract: I will describe a proposal that relates AdS_3 quantum gravity to a topological...

Abstract: This talk will concern the interaction problem in General Relativity in a specific setting. More precisely, we will describe a research program aimed at a rigorous understanding of the interaction of gravitational waves originating from...

Abstract: In this talk, I will describe an analytic procedure whereby scattering...

Abstract: There has been exciting recent progress in the study of the quantum nature of black holes through the use of certain exactly solvable models. This work shows how to realize, in concrete terms, various long-held expectations about quantum...

Abstract: Organic scintillators are a promising avenue for the direct detection of sub-GeV dark matter (DM). With eV-scale excitation energies that rival the sensitivity of semiconductor targets, they can be produced in bulk and purified relatively...

Abstract: We will discuss two recent developments in black hole perturbation theory: 

(1) the symmetries behind the well-known vanishing of the tidal Love numbers, and

(2) second order quasi-normal modes during the ring-down phase after a binary...
