Into the Dusty Universe with ALMA and JWST

Speaker: Jed McKinney (University of Texas, Austin)Host: Justin Spilker

Most of star-formation over the last 11 Billion years has happened within thick veils of dust, and in turn, dust shapes star-formation inside galaxies. Dust also absorbs and scatters light which can make optical probes of gas conditions difficult to measure, and hides very distant galaxies from even the most [...]
Generalized Symmetries in String Theory
September 25, 2023 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm (CDT) MIST M102
Generalized Symmetries in String Theory

Speaker: Max Hübner (University of Pennsylvania)

Generalized global symmetries occur in large classes of quantum field theories (QFTs). Whenever a QFT admits a string construction one can ask how structures associated with these symmetries lift and are characterized in the stringy realization of the QFT. For example topological operators realizing these symmetries in many cases admit [...]
Understanding Schwarzschild
September 26, 2023 11:30 am (CDT) MPHY 578 / IQSE Seminar Room
Understanding Schwarzschild

Speaker: William G. Unruh (Canadian Institute for Advanced Research; University of British Columbia; Institute for Quantum Science and Engineering, Texas A&M University)

Since Schwarzschild, in 1915/1916, discovered the metric that bears his name in the mathematics of Einstein's brand new theory, confusion reigned in understanding the Schwarzscild "singularity" at r=2GM/c^2. Was this some sort of matter shell? Was this a breakdown of the theory? This talk will be a historical tour of [...]

Compositeness from eV to TeV
September 28, 2023 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm (CDT) MIST M102
Compositeness from eV to TeV

Speaker: Benoît Assi (Fermilab)Host: Doojin Kim

Composite states occur over vast scales and play an important role in various domains of particle physics. In the first part I report on the recent development and application of non-relativistic QCD for the study of hadrons and multi-hadron systems in QCD and beyond. In particular, I will demonstrate how we [...]

Transforming Our Understanding of Galaxy Formation with the Power of JWST and ALMA

Speaker: Wren Suess (University of California, Santa Cruz)Host: Justin Spilker

Galaxies are one of the fundamental building blocks of our universe, yet despite a century of study we still don’t understand how these vast cosmic ecosystems formed. The key challenge is that we want to measure physical properties like stellar mass, but all we observe is light. Making the translation [...]
