Abstract: I demonstrate that black hole dynamics simplifies – without trivializing – in the limit in which the number of spacetime dimensions D in which the black holes live is taken to infinity. In the strict large D limit and under certain conditions I […]
Abstract: Finite order Markov models are theoretically well-studied models for dependent data. Despite their generality, application in empirical work when the order is larger than one is quite rare. Practitioners avoid […]
Member Seminar Speaker:An Huang Title: Quadratic reciprocity from a family of adelic conformal field theories Abstract: This talk aims to provide a physics framework to understand quadratic reciprocity. Specifically, we consider […]
Abstract: We construct a certain type of Gauged Linear Sigma Model quasimap invariants that generalize the original ones and are easier to compute. Higgs-Coulomb correspondence provides identification of generating functions of […]
Speaker: Bartek Czech, Tsinghua University Title: Holographic Cone of Average Entropies and Universality of Black Holes Abstract: In the AdS/CFT correspondence, the holographic entropy cone, which identifies von Neumann entropies of CFT […]
Abstract: In this sequence of talks, I will describe our work with Alexander Frenkel and Stephen Randall, in which we presented a novel topological quantum gravity, relating three previously unrelated […]
Abstract: I will report on a project which aims to encode the DT invariants of a CY3 triangulated category in a geometric structure on its stability space. I will focus on […]
https://youtu.be/USKZjJ8_LI0 Speaker: Achilleas Porfyriadis, Harvard Black Hole Initiative Title: Extreme Black Holes: Anabasis and Accidental Symmetry Abstract: The near-horizon region of black holes near extremality is universally AdS_2-like. In this […]
Abstract: The spontaneous emergence of collective flows is a generic property of active fluids and often leads to chaotic flow patterns characterized by swirls, jets, and topological disclinations in their orientation […]
Abstract: In this talk we describe a new method to study the singular set in the obstacle problem. This method does not depend on monotonicity formulae and works for fully […]
Abstract: Three-dimensional (3d) gapped topological phases with fractional excitations are divided into two subclasses: One has topological order with point-like and loop-like excitations fully mobile in the 3d space, and the […]
