Group Meetings
Published by admin on Monday, March 1, 2010
The Gravity Group at UMississippi has a regular weekly scheduled meeting throughout the year to discuss current research progress, topics of interest and new papers. Typically, at each meeting, two members of the group, each make a short presentation, either their current area of research or a paper that has attracted their interest.
For the Spring 2021 semester, the Group meets on Thursdays between 3-4pm. The schedule of speakers for this semester are as below:

The group also has a running series where an external speaker is invited to give seminar talk during one of the usual meetings on their area of research or any topic of interest. The seminar then replaces the usual format of the meetings on those days. The list of external speakers will be updated as time goes on.

The next scheduled seminar speaker is Dr. Sabrina Pasterski, from PrincetonUniversity, scheduled for 29th April, 2021.
Abstract: We will start with a review of the celestial amplitude framework mapping 4D S-matrix elements to CFT correlators living on the celestial sphere, before turning our attention to recent results within the conformally soft sector.
Note: Due to the current COVID-19 situation, the meetings have shifted to an online format. In case one wishes to participate, please direct your queries to either Dr. Leo Stein <lcstein@olemiss.edu>.
