IAS HET Seminar | Shai Chester, Weizmann Institute of Science | "Bootstrapping N = 4 super-Yang-Mills on the conformal manifold" | Wolfensohn Hall (behind Bloomberg Hall) & on Zoom Mon, Nov 15, 2021, 2:30 pm – 2:30 pm Abstract: We study the N = 4 SYM stress tensor multiplet 4-point function for any value of the complexified coupling tau, and in principle any gauge group (we focus on SU(2) and SU(3) for simplicity). By combining non-perturbative constraints from the numerical bootstrap with two exact constraints from supersymmetric localization, we… Speaker Shai Chester Affiliation Weizmann Institute of Science Presentation "Bootstrapping N = 4 super-Yang-Mills on the conformal manifold" IAS HET Seminar | Ahsan Z Khan, Member, School of Natural Sciences, IAS | "TBA" | Wolfensohn Hall (behind Bloomberg Hall) & on Zoom Fri, Nov 12, 2021, 1:45 pm – 1:45 pm Abstract: "TBA" https://theias.zoom.us/j/83544347711?pwd=WVgzdk02ZUpZZE90aUovMXRiaytidz09 Speaker Ahsan Z Khan Affiliation Member, School of Natural Sciences, IAS Presentation "TBA" The Universe from a single Particle - Michael Freedman - Microsoft Q Mon, Nov 1, 2021, 4:30 pm – 4:30 pm I will explore a toy model for our universe in which spontaneous symmetry breaking – acting on the level of operators (not states) - can produce the interacting physics we see about us from the simpler, single particle, quantum mechanics we study as undergraduates. Based on joint work with Modj Shokrian Zini, see arXiv:2011.05917 and arXiv:2108… IAS HET Seminar | Venkatesa Chandrasekaran, Member, School of Natural Sciences, IAS | "The Area Operator in Gravity and Holography" | Wolfensohn Hall (behind Bloomberg Hall) & on Zoom Fri, Oct 29, 2021, 1:45 pm – 1:45 pm Abstract: The area operator plays a central role in our understanding of holography and black hole thermodynamics. In this talk I will discuss a formulation of the area operator at the level of classical gravity, the “kink transform”, which defines a notion of a half-sided boost of gravitational initial data. I will show that it satisfies the… Speaker Venkatesa Chandrasekaran Affiliation Member, School of Natural Sciences, IAS Presentation "The Area Operator in Gravity and Holography" Special IAS HET Seminar | Nima Arkani-Hamed, Professor, School of Natural Sciences, IAS | "Spacetime and Quantum Mechanics; Particles and "Strings"; Polytopes, Binary Geometries and Quiver Categories" | Wolfensohn Hall (behind Bloomberg Hall) & on Zoom Tue, Oct 26, 2021, 1:30 pm – 1:30 pm Abstract: The past decade has seen the emergence of surprising new connections between the real-world physics of elementary particle scattering processes, and simple new mathematical structures in combinatorics, algebra and geometry. These ideas provide, in a number of examples, a different starting point for conceptualizing… Speaker Nima Arkani-Hamed Affiliation Professor, School of Natural Sciences, IAS Presentation "Spacetime and Quantum Mechanics; Particles and "Strings"; Polytopes, Binary Geometries and Quiver Categories" IAS HET Seminar | Michael Levin, University of Chicago | "Lattice Edge Theories for Topological Phases of Matter" | Wolfensohn Hall (behind Bloomberg Hall) & on Zoom Mon, Oct 25, 2021, 2:30 pm – 2:30 pm Abstract: Edge excitations of (2+1)D topological phases are usually described using continuum field theories. But the boundaries of some (2+1)D topological phases can also be described using lattice-like edge theories that have a finite dimensional Hilbert space for a finite size boundary. I will discuss several examples of… IAS HET Seminar | Nathan Haouzi, Member, School of Natural Sciences, IAS | "Old and New Physics Prospects for q-Virasoro" | Wolfensohn Hall & on Zoom Fri, Oct 22, 2021, 1:45 pm – 1:45 pm This seminar will be presented in-person in Wolfensohn Hall at the IAS and on Zoom.
