Member Seminar Speaker: Puskar Mondal Title: Stability and convergence issues in mathematical cosmology Abstract: The standard model of cosmology is built on the fact that while viewed on a sufficiently coarse-grained scale […]
Abstract: In this talk I will introduce a particular formulation of the Weak Gravity Conjecture in AdS space in terms of the self-binding energy of a particle. The holographic CFT dual […]
Title: The hypersimplex and the m=2 amplituhedron Abstract: I’ll discuss a curious correspondence between the m=2 amplituhedron, a 2k-dimensional subset of Gr(k, k+2), and the hypersimplex, an (n-1)-dimensional polytope in […]
Abstract: I will present a four-term exact sequence relating the cohomology of a fibration to the cohomology of an open set obtained by removing the preimage of a general linear section […]
Title: Oscillations in the thermal conductivity of a spin liquid* Abstract: The layered honeycomb magnet alpha-RuCl3 orders below 7 K in a zigzag phase in zero field. An in-plane magnetic […]
https://youtu.be/ufG0YLj_sik Speaker: Adam Wagner, Tel Aviv University Title: Constructions in combinatorics via neural networks Abstract: Recently, significant progress has been made in the area of machine learning algorithms, and they […]
Speaker: David Jordan (U Edinburgh) Title: Langlands duality for 3 manifolds Abstract: Langlands duality began as a deep and still mysterious conjecture in number theory, before branching into a similarly deep and mysterious conjecture of […]
Abstract: Life is a nonequilibrium phenomenon. Metabolism provides a continuous flux of energy that dictates the form and function of many subcellular structures. These subcellular structures are active materials, composed […]
Member Seminar Speaker: Jue Liu Title: Instability of naked singularities in general relativity Abstract: One of the fundamental problems in mathematical relativity is the weak cosmic censorship conjecture, proposed by Penrose, which […]
Abstract: The study of static vacuum Riemannian metrics arises naturally in differential geometry and general relativity. It plays an important role in scalar curvature deformation, as well as in constructing Einstein […]
