Upcoming Seminars



High Energy Theory Seminar: Tidal Love numbers and Tidal anomalous dimensions

Yue-Zhou Li (Princeton)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

In this talk, I will briefly review the worldline effective field theory (EFT) formalism for classical gravitational physics. Using worldline EFT, I will provide a framework for understanding the gravitational…



Experimental Particle Physics Seminar: Studying the Higgs boson at the LHC and beyond

Liza Brost (BNL)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2


Astrophysics Seminar: FRB science results from CHIME

Kendrick Smith (Perimeter)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 4E19

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are a recently discovered, poorly understood class of transient event, and understanding their origin has become a central problem in astrophysics. I will present FRB science results…



High Energy Theory Seminar: Comments on the density matrix of the universe in two dimensional quantum cosmology

Finn Larsen (UMichigan)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

I discuss work in progress on obtaining a reasonable density matrix of the universe in two dimensional quantum cosmology. I will do so by comparing aspects of the Hilbert space of closed universes in JT gravity…



High Energy Theory Seminar: "TBA"

Deyan Mihaylov (Case Western Reserve University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

Past Seminars



Astrophysics Seminar: How Well Can Cosmologists Do Astrophysics Using Line Intensity Mapping Observations?

Anirban Roy (NYU)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 4E19

In the last few decades, statistical analysis of cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature fluctuations has established the standard model of cosmology with high precision. The next frontier lies in…



CANCELLED: High Energy Theory Seminar: Real-Time Path Integrals, Caustics and Interference

Job Felbrugge (University of Edinburgh)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

Interference is one of the most universal phenomena in nature, as exemplified by the real-time Feynman path integral. Despite the ubiquity of interference patterns, their evaluation has often proven challenging.…



High Energy Theory Seminar: Comments on the density matrix of the universe in two dimensional quantum cosmology

Andreas Blommaert (Institute for Advanced Study)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

I discuss work in progress on obtaining a reasonable density matrix of the universe in two dimensional quantum cosmology. I will do so by comparing aspects of the Hilbert space of closed universes in JT gravity…
