We will […]
Member Seminar Speaker: Benjamin McKenna Title: Random matrices and large deviations Abstract: We give a generalist overview of random matrices and their (a)typical behaviors. In recent years, classical results have been complemented by […]
General Relativity Seminar Speaker: Maria Rodriguez (Utah) Title: Tidal Squeezing of Black Holes Abstract: Recent developments indicate that Kerr black holes do not deform when perturbed by a static external gravitational field. Relying on […]
