| Tue 21 Oct 2025 14:00 - 15:30 | GAnG Seminar: Joydeep Chakravarty Centre for Geometry, Analysis and Gravitation Title: Imaging black holes at high frequency Abstract: We devise a formalism to probe local physics about a bulk point in general geometries using boundary correlators. In the exterior region, this allows for the factorization of boundary correlators in terms of flat-space like scattering amplitudes. The formalism also leads to direct measurements using lightcones emerging from the bulk point, capturing the boundary imprint of bulk causality. Next, we use it to understand the physics of... |

In support of this interpretation, comets boast a rich diversity of volatile organic molecules, with many thought to be limiting for prebiotic chemistry. Modelling studies suggest, however, that a significant proportion of these fragile organic molecules will be destroyed during hypervelocity impact with Earth. In this talk I will... |

Centre for Fundamental Physics Gravity from Entropy Gravity is derived from an entropic action coupling matter fields with geometry called Gravity from Entropy action [1]. The fundamental idea is to relate the metric of Lorentzian spacetime to a quantum operator, playing the role of a renormalizable effective density matrix and to describe the matter fields topologically, according to a Dirac-Kähler formalism, as the direct sum of a 0-form, a 1-form and a 2-form. While the geometry of spacetime is defined by its metric,... |

| Tue 10 Jun 2025 11:30 - 12:30 |  Seminar: Terahertz and Water presented by Dr Fabio Novelli from The University of SouthamptonCentre for Electronics Click Here for Teams Link Summary An inherently powerful tool to study liquid water is terahertz (THz) radiation because it can reveal the sub-ps fluctuations of the water network: radiation between about 1 and 25 THz is strongly absorbed by intermolecular collective modes of hydrogen-bonded water molecules, which can be thought of as "small and short-lived phonons". The talk is divided into two parts. In the first part I will describe a novel approach, dubbed "intense THz time-domain... |

Abstract: I address the problem of reconstructing space-times from measurements of their scattering data for suitable wave equations on the background geometry. For linear waves, the reconstruction allows one to reconstruct just the operator itself, assuming knowledge of the background geometry; moreover the best results deal with ``finite'' scattering, where measurements do no occur at infinity, but rather on a suitably long... |

Even in the G_N -> 0 limit, it is necessary to impose the gravitational Gauss law, which forces states to be de Sitter invariant. We set up Feynman rules for computing cosmological correlators in such states. We enumerate some necessary (but not sufficient) conditions that must be imposed on states... |

However, it is possible to change the geometrical layout of the array including adjacent sensor spacing and these additional spatial degrees of freedom (DOFs) can be exploited to improve the performance in terms of either beamforming or direction finding or both. With the development of compressive sensing (CS) or the sparsity maximization framework, a new CS... |

In this talk, I present a massive flat-space limit in which cosmological correlators arising from the exchange of heavy fields can be expressed in terms of massive Feynman diagrams in Minkowski space. As a phenomenological application, I use this limit to compute the imprints of massive particles during inflation on... |

Perturbative quantum gravity around backgrounds with isometries and compact Cauchy slices provides an interesting laboratory in which this emergence can be explored. In this context, the remaining isometries are gauge symmetries and, as a result, gauge-invariant... |

Black hole environments: a landscape of possibilities Centre for Geometry, Analysis and Gravitation Title: Black hole environments: a landscape of possibilities Abstract: Black holes in our Universe are not expected to be in vacuum. Different black hole environments include accretion disks, dark matter spikes or superradiant boson clouds. In binary systems, these environments could be probed by future space-based gravitational wave interferometers. Understanding their impact is crucial--not only for detecting the gravitational wave signal in the first place but also for uncovering new... |
| Mon 10 Feb 2025 15:00 - 17:00 | Seminar: Theory talks Centre for Fundamentals of AI and Computational Theory Speaker: Vasilis Klimis Title: Fuzzing The work is about how we applied lightweight formal methods to improve SPIRV, the industry-standard language for GPU computing. One major focus was on structured control flow: we built a formal model... |

At resonance, this 'hammer' enables the capsule to progress efficiently through complex environments without the need for external accessories. This simplicity in... |

Holloway, Arizona State UniversityCentre for Bioengineering Title: Designing Biomaterials with Spatiotemporal Control for Tissue Engineering Applications Abstract: Advances in materials science, biomolecule delivery, and cell biology has enabled significant innovations within the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine over the past few decades. Nonetheless, minimal translation of tissue engineering-based therapeutics to the clinic has occurred. An ongoing challenge within tissue engineering is the difficulty in regenerating... |

Asymptotics in General Relativity: the role of spatial infinityCentre for Geometry, Analysis and Gravitation Asymptotics in General Relativity: the role of spatial infinity In this overview talk I will discuss the relation between the asymptotic behaviour of the gravitational at null infinity and spatial infinity ¾the so-called problem of spatial infinity. I will argue that the conditions assumed by Penrose in his programme to study isolated systems in General Relativity are too restrictive to describe generic spacetimes. I will also discuss how a conformal approach to the study of the structure of... |

However, present methods have generally been designed for Markov processes, presenting a major limitation due... |
| Tue 21 Jan 2025 14:00 - 15:00 | Seminar: GAnG seminar - Lashi Bandara Centre for Geometry, Analysis and Gravitation Title: Harmonic analysis and boundary value problems in geometry Abstract: Historically, boundary value problems have appeared in engineering problems as partial differential equations on structures with boundary. However, in the past half century, differential operators have played a crucial role to encode, understand and resolve geometric and topological questions. This often requires the deformation of boundary conditions and harnesses index theory as a control mechanism through utilising... |
