Joint BHI/CMSA Foundation Seminar Speaker: Matthew Dodelson (Harvard) Title: Ringdown in the SYK model Abstract: Thermal correlators in large N systems equilibrate at late times, but the precise late-time behavior is unknown away from holographic and free field limits. In this talk I will analyze this problem in the case of the SYK model away from […]

Foundation Seminar (Joint Seminar with BHI) Location: BHI Speaker: Christoph Kehle (MIT) Title: On the cosmic censorship conjectures Abstract: I will present the modern formulations of the weak and strong cosmic censorship conjectures and discuss some recent developments in the context of gravitational collapse.
Foundation Seminar (Joint Seminar with BHI) Title: Searching for Dark Matter in the Sky Abstract: Astrophysical and cosmological observations have allowed us to measure the abundance of dark matter and have provided important information on its properties. I will discuss past, present and future efforts to map the gravitational footprint of dark matter throughout the […]
