Condensed Matter seminar: "Avalanche statistics and the effect of inertia, or polymer welding, crazing and strain hardening and the connection to entanglements"
Mark Robbins, Johns Hopkins University
Many systems evolve through a series of rapid avalanches that have a power
law distribution of sizes. Examples include magnetic domain walls, fluid
interfaces, deforming ice crystals and earthquakes. A…

High Energy Theory Seminar: Partially massless gravity
Kurt Hinterbichler (Perimeter)
On de Sitter space, there exists a special value for the mass of a graviton for which the linear theory propagates 4 rather than 5 degrees of freedom. If a fully non-linear version of the theory exists and can be…
