Annual Strings and Geometry conference at Penn
Click on link for list of speakers
The conference is co-chaired by Mirjam Cvetic and Jonathan Heckman. It will center on topics in high energy theoretical physics and its intersection with geometry. The conference will take place in…
High Energy Theory seminar: "Type IIB flux compactifications with h^{1,1}=0"
Timm Wrase (Lehigh University)
After reviewing a few concepts of the swampland program, I revisit type IIB flux compactifications that are mirror dual to type IIA on rigid Calabi-Yau manifolds.…

Physics and Astronomy Colloquium: "Light from Dark Matter through Cosmic History"
Tracy Slatyer (MIT)
84% of the matter in the universe is "dark", presently invisible to us except through its gravitational interactions. However, even tiny interactions between dark and visible matter could have striking…
High Energy seminar: "Dark Black Holes"
Sarah Shandera (Penn State University)
Gravitational wave detections of merging ultracompact objects provide a completely new way to constrain non-minimal dark matter models. If the dark matter consists of a rich spectrum of particles,…
