Past Seminars



High Energy Theory Seminar: "TBA"

Alberto Nicolis (Columbia University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3C6



High Energy Theory Seminar: "The Callan Rubakov Effect"

T. Daniel Brennan (University of California San Diego)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3C6

The Callan Rubakov Effect describes the interaction between (massless) fermions and a smooth monopole in 4d gauge theory. In this scenario, the fermions can probe the UV physics inside the monopole core which leads…



Condensed Matter Seminar: Roller-Coaster in a Flatland: Magnetoresistivity in Eu-intercalated Graphite

Dr. Sasha Chernyshev (University of California, Irvine)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, A4

Novel phenomena in magnetically-intercalated graphite has been a subject of much research in the 1980s, with the most enigmatic findings of that era being a dramatic, roller-coaster-like behavior of the…



High Energy Theory Seminar: The Power of Lorentzian Wormholes

Jorritt Kruthoff (IAS)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3C6

As shown by Louko and Sorkin in 1995, topology change in Lorentzian signature involves spacetimes with singular points, which they called crotches. We modify their construction to obtain Lorentzian semiclassical…



Condensed Matter Seminar: Cell motility and shape as a playground for physics

Brian Camley (Johns Hopkins University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, A4

Cells crawl and reorganize in the body to perform their functions, ranging from white blood cells finding bacteria to skin cells closing over a wound. These behaviors provide huge opportunities for…
