Non-dispersive one-way signal amplification in sonic metamaterials

Jefferson 256 17 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

Active Matter Seminar Speaker: Jayson Paulose, University of Oregon Title: Control of parametric amplification in space-time modulated mechanical metamaterials Abstract: Active mechanical metamaterials harbor acoustic signal processing functionalities that are impossible to achieve in passive structures. Amplifying an elastic wave as it passes through the material is a prominent example, with potential applications in acoustic signal […]

Symmetry Colloquia – Global Categorical Symmetries

CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

Symmetry Colloquia - Global Categorical Symmetries May 2, 2024 Location: Room G-10, CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge MA 02138 Speaker: Theo Johnson-Freyd, Dalhousie University and Perimeter Institute Title: The Universal Target Category Abstract: Hilbert's Nullstellensatz says that the complex numbers C satisfy a universal property among all R-algebras: every not-too-large nonzero commutative R-algebra maps to C. Deligne proved a similar statement […]

Liouville Theory and Weil-Petersson Geometry

CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

Colloquium Speaker: Sarah Harrison (Northeastern University) Title: Liouville Theory and Weil-Petersson Geometry Abstract: Two-dimensional conformal field theory is a powerful tool to understand the geometry of surfaces. Liouville conformal field theory in the classical (large central charge) limit encodes the geometry of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces. I describe an efficient algorithm to compute […]

Real-time observables in horizon thermodynamics

Virtual

https://youtu.be/zxjuAlzuW78 General Relativity Seminar Speaker: Albert Law, Stanford Title: Real-time observables in horizon thermodynamics Abstract: Euclidean black hole 1-loop determinants have recently been shown to compute a renormalized thermal canonical partition function for free fields in Lorentzian signature. A key ingredient is a 'quasinormal mode (QNM) character', whose Fourier transform equals the renormalized spectral density of the […]
