Title: Hamiltonian dynamics of fluids and vortex sheets Speaker: Boris Khesin Date: Tuesday, April 8, 2014 Time: 1:00pm-2:00pm Place: Lecture Hall 102, Simons Center [box, type=”download”]Watch the video. [/box] Abstract: We show that an approximation of the hydrodynamical Euler equation describes the binormal mean-curvature flow on vortex membranes in any dimension. This generalizes the classical binormal, … Read more
On behalf of the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics, we would like to congratulate our colleague and the speaker of della Pietra lecture series Dr. Andre Linde on the recent discovery of gravitational waves which supports his long standing contributions to the theory of cosmic inflation. The detection of gravitational waves by the BICEP2 … Read more
Title: Deriving anomaly-induced response from thermal equilibrium. Part II Speaker: Kristan Jensen, Stony Brook University Date: Thursday, March 20, 2014 Time: 1:00pm-2:30pm Place: Seminar Room 313, Simons Center Abstract: Now that we believe that anomalies manifest themselves through macroscopic transport in thermal states, I’ll show you how to derive that transport from basic considerations of Euclidean field theory. To do … Read more
