SUMMARY:Recreational / Games:Community & Camping 101
DESCRIPTION:Whether you’re brand new to camping or looking to build confidence outdoors\, Community & Camping 101 is a weekend designed to help you feel at home outside. Learn foundational camping skills\, prepare meals outdoors\, explore nearby trails\, practice reciprocal stewardship\, and build community around the campfire. No previous outdoor experience is required.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | Phasing out Dark Matter Isocurvature with Thermal Misalignment
DESCRIPTION:Thermal misalignment provides an alternative to the standard misalignment mechanism for the cosmological production of scalar dark matter. In this framework\, feeble couplings to particles in the thermal bath generate a finite-temperature potential that drives the scalar towards large field values early in the radiation era\, dynamically inducing the misalignment before the onset of scalar oscillations. As a result\, the relic abundance is controlled primarily by particle masses and couplings rather than the initial field value. As a light spectator field\, the scalar acquires inflationary fluctuations that are uncorrelated with the adiabatic curvature mode\, generically sourcing isocurvature perturbations. We show that\, unlike standard misalignment\, where light scalars are strongly constrained by cosmic microwave background bounds on dark matter isocurvature for high-scale inflation\, thermal misalignment can naturally suppress the isocurvature signal. This occurs through a novel late-time phase offset between the background zero mode and the superhorizon perturbations\, which reduces the final dark matter density contrast. Thermal misalignment therefore provides a new and generic route to isocurvature-safe scalar dark matter.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Pseudo-magnetism in a strained discrete honeycomb lattice
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Slowly-varying nonuniform strain in honeycomb media can generate an effective pseudo-magnetic field\, even though the underlying medium is non-magnetic. This phenomenon was first discovered in graphene and later in photonic crystals\, and other physical settings. In this talk\, I will start from a discrete nearest-neighbor tight-binding model for a nonuniformly strained honeycomb medium. I will then show how this model leads to a continuum magnetic Dirac Hamiltonian that describes wave packets concentrated near a Dirac point of the undeformed structure. I will focus on unidirectional deformations with bounded gradients that preserve translation invariance along the armchair direction. In this setting\, we prove the existence of eigenmodes that behave like plane waves along the armchair direction and are strongly localized in the transverse direction\, together with quantitative correction estimates. These results apply to deformations that produce an approximately constant pseudo-magnetic field perpendicular to the plane. They also lead to nearly flat bands and\, as a consequence\, a very high density of states. These analytical results are also supported by numerical simulations of the corresponding deformations. This is joint work with Michael I. Weinstein.\n\nContact:  Ian Tobasco

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry: Reconstruction Theorems
DESCRIPTION:Gabriel's reconstruction theorem states that a noetherian scheme can be fully recovered from its abelian category of quasi-coherent sheaves. This motivates noncommutative algebraic geometry\, which advocates viewing any abelian category as a category of sheaves on a \"noncommutative space\". I will sketch two approaches to the proof and discuss extensions to the derived and stacky settings.
