High Energy seminar: "A Puncture in the Euclidean Black Hole"

Yoav Zigdon (Ben-Gurion University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 4N9

We study a black hole in string theory which is described by an exact worldsheet conformal field theory (CFT). In Euclidean signature, the radial-time part of its geometry is described by a shrinking…

Physics and Astronomy Colloquium: "First Results from the Muon g-2 Experiment at Fermilab’s Muon Campus"

Chris Polly (Fermilab)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, A4 - plus see Zoom link below

The much anticipated initial results from the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab’s Muon Campus were released last year.  The new determination of the muon’s anomalous magnetic moment is in good…



HET Seminar: "Effective Geometry, Complexity, and Universality"

Adam Brown (Stanford)

This talk will be based on arXiv:2111.12700 and arXiv:2112.0572.

 



Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: "Phase Separation Inside Cells "

Ned Wingreen (Princeton University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, A4 - also See Zoom link below

Biologists have recently come to appreciate that eukaryotic cells are home to a multiplicity of non-membrane bound compartments, many of which form and dissolve as needed for the cell to function.…



Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: "Explore topological physics and optical computing in synthetic dimensions"

Shanhui Fan (Stanford University)
- See Zoom link below

The physics of a photonic structure is commonly described in terms of its apparent geometric dimensionality. On the other hand, with the concept of synthetic dimension, it is in…



Astronomy Seminar: "21-cm Cosmology at a Crossroads"

Rennan Barkana (Tel Aviv/IAS)
- 4C6

Radio waves from high redshift are expected to show a rich signal due to the 21-cm line of intergalactic hydrogen. After years of theoretical…
