Abstract:  Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) offers the potential to mitigate some of the discrepancies between simulated cold dark matter (CDM) and observed galactic properties.  In various SIDM models, dark matter particles can scatter with each...

Abstract: Gravitational waves provide a unique observational handle on the properties of strong, dynamical gravity. Black hole ringdowns, in particular, cleanly encode information about the structure of black holes, allowing us to test fundamental...

Abstract: I will discuss the worldsheet sigma-model whose target space is the d+1...

Abstract: I will recall steps taken here at Princeton that led from the schematic physics of the cosmology I encountered in the mid-1960s to the present well-tested LCDM theory, and offer some lessons from the past on the future of research in...

Abstract: Quantum error correction has given us a natural language for the emergence of spacetime, but the black hole...

Abstract: Are black holes stable? This question, which has played a central role in General Relativity ever since the discoveries of the Schwarzschild (1916) and Kerr (1963) solutions, can be formulated as a remarkably simple to state mathematical...
