Physics Calendar

The Physics calendar contains High Energy Theory events hosted by the Institute for Advanced Study and Princeton University. A condensed version of the calendar is sent to the general Physics mailing list on Friday afternoons. Reminder emails are sent the morning of the event. If you are a local faculty member, postdoc or graduate student and would like to be added to the general Physics mailing list, please contact Lisa Fleischer, lisa@ias.edu

IAS Physics Group Meeting

On a $Z_3$ Topological Term in 10d Heterotic String Theories
Yuji Tachikawa
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: I will compare the gravitational sectors of two 10d heterotic string theories, with E8 x E8 and Spin(32)/$Z_2$ gauge groups, and show that they differ by a subtle $Z_3$-valued topological term. I also discuss its relation to the...

IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

Aspects of Topological Symmetry, Holography, and Branes
Ibrahima Bah
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS) & Zoom

Abstract: In this talk I will discuss holographic duals of topological operators.  At low energy sugra, they can be realized by Page charge associated to Gauss law constraints. In the UV string theory, topological operators can be characterized by...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar Series

Bubbles of AdS as Black Hole Mimickers
Suvendu Giri
12:30pm|Princeton University, Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: I will present a case for the striking resemblance between bubbles of anti-de Sitter (AdS) within Minkowski spacetime and black holes. These solutions of Einstein’s equations are motivated by high-energy physics and lack horizons. We will...

Princeton University Dark Cosmos Seminar

Physics Potential at a future Muon Collider
Cari Cesarotti
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall, Joe Henry Room

Abstract: A clear outcome of Snowmass 2021 and now the US P5 report was the community support for R&D towards a future muon collider. In this talk we will discuss the general physics program that becomes available to the community during the...
