Upcoming HET and HEE Seminars



High Energy Theory Seminar: Perturbations of Gibbons-Maeda Black Holes in Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton Theories

Christopher Pope (Texas A&M University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

The study of perturbations around black hole backgrounds in general relativity and Einstein-Maxwell theory has a long history, going back to Regge and Wheeler in the 1950s. In view of more recent developments in…

Past HET and HEE Seminars



High Energy Theory Seminar: Testing Beyond Slow-Roll Inflation Across Large and Small Cosmic Scales

Matteo Braglia (NYU)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

Inflation is widely recognized as the leading theory for explaining the origin of the Big Bang. While the simplest slow-roll models predict a nearly scale-invariant spectrum of primordial density perturbations,…



High Energy Theory Seminar: Integrability and Hidden Symmetries in Black Hole Dynamics

Uri Kol (Harvard University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

The last decade has produced a number of remarkable discoveries, such as the first direct observation of gravitational waves by the LIGO/Virgo collaboration and the first black hole image taken by the…



High Energy Theory Seminar: "TBA"

Lorenzo Ricci (University of Maryland)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2


High Energy Theory Seminar: 5D SCFTs, Brane Webs, GTPs, Quivers and Geometry

Sebastian Franco (CUNY)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

String/M-Theory provides various approaches for constructing 5d Superconformal Field Theories, most notably geometric engineering via M-theory on toric Calabi-Yau 3-folds and webs of (p,q) 5-branes in Type IIB String…



High Energy Theory Seminar: Topological defects on the worldsheet

Konstantinous Roumpedakis (Johns Hopkins University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

In this talk, I will discuss the implications of non-invertible topological defects on the worldsheet. I will consider two different setups where such defects arise in string theory. The first setup is toroidal…
