kSZ tomography and its applications to cosmology
Moritz Munchmeyer - University of Wisconsin–Madison
Upcoming CMB and large-scale structure experimental data can be cross correlated to reconstruct the large-scale matter velocity field in a process called kinetic Sunyaev–Zel'dovich (kSZ) tomography. Similar to CMB lensing reconstruction, kSZ tomography provides a large-scale probe from small scale…Probing Dark Matter Particle Properties with Ultra-High-Resolution CMB Lensing
Neelima Sehgal - Stony Brook University
I will discuss a novel and powerful way to probe dark matter particle properties using deep, high-resolution cosmic microwave background (CMB) gravitational lensing measurements. These measurements can distinguish between cold dark matter and alternative dark matter models that can explain…Discovering the Goddess of the Night with Machine Learning
Miriangela Lisanti - Princeton University
The Gaia mission is in the process of mapping nearly 1% of the Milky Way’s stars. This data set is unprecedented and provides a unique view into the formation history of our Galaxy and its associated dark matter halo. My talk will focus primarily on recent work using deep learning methods to…Discussion: Is there novel physics at the black hole horizon?
Emil Mottola - Los Alamos National Laboratory
Not quite black holes at LIGO
Bob Holdom - University of Toronto
The Einstein action has made us very accustomed to black holes and their “no drama” event horizons. But the Einstein action will eventually be subsumed into a UV complete theory of gravity, and in such a theory there can be a new class of solutions that are not quite black holes. Within a Planck…Spacetime and higher-spin symmetries in the de Sitter S-matrix
Yasha Neiman - Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University
I will discuss the problem of an observer's S-matrix in de Sitter space, i.e. the mapping between fields on the initial and final horizons of a de Sitter static patch. I will show how the S-matrix of free massless fields can be packaged in a spinor-helicity language. This involves “cheating” the…Quantum gravity from fakeons
Damiano Anselmi - Università di Pisa
A new quantization prescription is able to endow quantum field theory with a new type of “particle”, the fakeon (fake particle), which mediates interactions, but cannot be observed. A massive fakeon of spin 2 (together with a scalar field) allows us to build a theory of quantum gravity that is both…
