Charting the AdS/CFT Landscape
Eric Perlmutter - Princeton University
What are the bounds of the AdS/CFT correspondence? Which quantities in conformal field theory have simple descriptions in terms of classical anti-de Sitter spacetime geometry? These foundational questions in holography may be meaningfully addressed via the study of CFT correlation functions, which… -
Probing frontiers of fundamental physics and astrophysics with numerical relativity
Vasileios Paschalidis - University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
The coalescence of black hole-black hole (BHBH), black hole-neutron star (BHNS) and neutron star-neutron star (NSNS) systems are among the most promising sources of gravitational waves (GWs) detectable by Advanced LIGO/Virgo and NANOGrav. In addition, distinct observable electromagnetic radiation… -
The 576-fold Bott Periodicity of the Majorana fermions
Andre Henriques - University of Oxford
Bott periodicity (1956) is a classical and old result in mathematics. Its easiest incarnation of which concerns Clifford algebras. It says that, up to Morita equivalence, the real Clifford algebras Cl_1(R), Cl_2(R), Cl_3(R), etc. repeat with period 8. A similar result holds for complex Clifford… -

Advanced LIGO and the first years of gravitational-wave astrophysics
Salvatore Vitale - Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Almost fifteen years after LIGO started listening to the cosmos, and 100 years after Einstein discovered general relativity, gravitational waves have been detected by ground-based interferometers, opening a new window on the universe. In this talk I will address some of the most exciting areas of… -
Data Science in Radio Cosmology
Richard Shaw - University of British Columbia
In recent decades probing for the subtle indications of new physics in experimental data has become increasingly difficult. The datasets have gotten much bigger, the experiments more complex, and the signals ever smaller. Success stories, like LIGO and Kepler, require a sophisticated combination of… -

Exoplanet science as a case study in data-rich astrophysics
Timothy Morton - Princeton University
I will begin by giving an overview of the current state of exoplanet science, a field that has advanced tremendously in just the last few years. While specialized instrumentation and observational facilities have provided the data driving this advance, the development and application of statistical… -
Gravitational waves and fundamental (astro)physics
Huan Yang - Tsinghua University
Gravitational waves, as predicted by Einstein one hundred years ago, have been detected by the advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in September last year. This finding marks the beginning of gravitational-wave astronomy. From now on, we are able to probe our universe… -
