Past Seminars



High Energy Theory Seminar: Staggered bosons, staggered  clock models and supersymmetry on the lattice

David Berenstein (UCSB)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

I will describe constructions of lattice field theories that assign a single bosonic variable to each site, rather a conjugate pair x,p. The information to realize a non-trivial dynamics is realized by non-trivial…



Astrophysics Seminar: How micro galaxies could help constrain the properties of dark matter

Raphael Errani (Carnegie Mellon University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 4E19

Guided by the recent discovery of the faint Milky Way satellite UMa3/UnionsI, in this talk I will present the results of our controlled high-resolution simulations to discuss how ”micro galaxies” could be…



High Energy Theory Seminar: The complex Liouville string

Victor Rodriguez (UCSB)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

I will introduce the complex Liouville string, a solvable critical worldsheet string theory defined by coupling two Liouville theories with complex conjugate central charges c = 13 ± is. By harnessing the non-…



Astrophysics Seminar: What can we learn from the evolution of galaxy sizes?

Kalina Nedkova (Johns Hopkins University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 4E19

Galaxies have grown significantly in size since the early Universe. While quiescent galaxies grow primarily through galaxy mergers, star-forming galaxies grow by accreting gas from their surroundings and forming new…



High Energy Theory Seminar: Gravitational atoms and black hole binaries

G.M. Tomaselli (IAS at Princeton University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

Superradiant instabilities may create clouds of ultralight bosons around rotating black holes, forming so-called "gravitational atoms". In this talk, I will review a series of papers that study the effects of a…
