Condensed Matter Seminar: Multi-gap topological physics: geometrical notions, physical phases and novel response
Robert-Jan Slager (University of Cambridge)
I will review recent work on multi-gap topological states. These phases are characterized by topological structures that cannot be captured by advances in more conventional symmetry-based…
Astrophysics seminar: The Red Universe UNCOVERed: Early Spectral results from the JWST Treasury Survey UNCOVER
Jenny Greene (Princeton University), https://crispygreene.wixsite.com/jenny
From brown dwarfs to the first galaxies, JWST is giving us a new look at the Universe in the infrared. UNCOVER has just completed a deep spectroscopic survey in the Hubble Frontier Field Abell 2744. I will discuss…
High Energy Theory seminar: Gluon scattering in AdS from supersymmetric localization
Pietro Ferrero (SCGP)
I will discuss some of the recent progress made in the computation of holographic correlators describing the scattering of gluons in anti de Sitter space.…
Colloquium: "The First 250 Years of Physics and Astronomy at Penn"
Paul Heiney (University of Pennsylvania Emeritus)
The histories of physics and astronomy at Penn will be presented primarily through the lives of prominent individuals, culminating in the 1994 merger of the Physics and Astronomy Departments. We…
High Energy Theory seminar: Self-Similar Quasicrystals and Hyperbolic Honeycombs
Justin Kulp (SCGP)
Most people are familiar with periodic tessellations and lattices; from the sidewalk outside David Rittenhouse Laboratory to their favourite spin systems. In this talk, I will discuss two less familiar…
Astrophysics seminar: New Cosmology Constraints from the Hyper SuprimeCam Year 3 Data Release
Roohi Dalal (Princeton University)
The Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) survey is the deepest Stage III weak lensing experiment, going to ~26 mag with exquisite seeing. The depth and image quality achieved by HSC allow us to probe cosmology using…
Condensed Matter Seminar: Controlling the assembly of molecular and colloidal liquid crystals
Lisa Tran (Utrecht University)
Liquid crystals are the basis of the modern display industry because of their unique properties. Yet, liquid crystalline ordering occurs in systems beyond displays and across length scales: from…
