Physics Calendar

The Physics calendar contains High Energy Theory events hosted by the Institute for Advanced Study and Princeton University. A condensed version of the calendar is sent to the general Physics mailing list on Friday afternoons. Reminder emails are sent the morning of the event. If you are a local faculty member, postdoc or graduate student and would like to be added to the general Physics mailing list, please contact Lisa Fleischer, lisa@ias.edu

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...

IAS Amplitudes Group Meeting

Rays, Residues and the Moduli Space of Polygons
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: We describe a (surprisingly) novel, uniform formula for all inverse propagators appearing in $tr(\phi^3)$ amplitudes which are dual to a basis of rays of the tropical Grassmannian $TropG(2,n)$.  Our formula manifests the standard kinematic...

IAS Physics Group Meeting

Duality of Turbulence to a Solvable String Theory with Discrete Target Space
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

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...

Princeton University Donald R. Hamilton Lecture

The Search for the Most Distant Galaxies
Marcia J. Rieke
6:00pm|McDonnell Hall, A-02

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...
