High Energy Experiment Seminar: Evidence of the four-top-quark production at the LHC
Nedaa Alexandra Asbah (Harvard)
Abstract: A summary of the latest results on the evidence of the four-top-quark production using proton-proton collision data at a centre of-mass…
Astronomy Seminar: How to Find an Earth
Megan Bedell (Flatiron)
The detection of an Earth twin (an Earth-mass planet orbiting a Sun-like star within the habitable zone) has recently become feasible for the first time thanks to advances in observational…
High Energy Theory Seminar: Classifying boundary conditions in JT gravity
Jorrit Kruthoff (Stanford)
We will discuss various boundary conditions in JT gravity and their implications in both the classical and quantum theory. Our focus will primarily be on fixing the metric and extrinsic curvature on the…

Astronomy Seminar: Detection and Characterization of M-dwarf Planets with Next Generation Instruments
Guðmundur Kári Stefánsson (Princeton)
Abstract: Planets orbiting nearby M-dwarfs—the most numerous stars in the galaxy and our nearest stellar neighbors—are advantageous for detailed characterization. The…
Mathematical Biology seminar: "Boolean Networks: discrete dynamical models of high-dimensional nonlinear systems"
Jordan Rozum (Pennsylvania State University)
Boolean networks are a common modeling tool for studying the phenotypic changes that cells undergo in response stimuli. Examples include cell differentiation during embryogenesis, metastasis of…
High Energy Theory Seminar: Anomalies and Emergent Symmetries on the Lattice and in the Continuum
Shu-Heng Shao (IAS)
We consider various standard and exotic lattice models, and deform them using an approach generalizing the Villain formulation. The new lattice models exhibit many properties that were thought to be…
