Congratulations to my partner on getting the verbal offer to tenure track assistant professor position of Nanyang Technological Universit❤️❤️ Time to study Tokyo-Singapore flights.
We studied one point functions in Janus solutions and found yet another set of weak/strong coupling match for maximal SUSY interfaces. https://t.co/f449TMkVph
I have said before that you shouldn't feel entitled to share your opinions about quantum mechanics unless you have personally calculated a Clebsch-Gordan coefficient.
I’m very happy to share that I will be joining the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU), University of Tokyo, as a postdoctoral researcher starting in fall.
Excited for the years ahead!
Our third one on the road of understanding entropy and energy of interface conformal field theory. Thank you @PlanckScale@karch_andreas for collaboration!
It is very curious to me why people in Massachusetts drive so slow. Both in rural areas and the Boston metro, compared with areas elsewhere. Even slower than Florida from my observation. What are the factors? Small size, perhaps?
Zijie Zhuang, a grad student at the University of Pennsylvania, recently helped calculate an exponent that describes the paths through random grids of hexagons. A solution had eluded geometers for over a decade. https://t.co/L4GUHz8H4Z
After four years of test-optional admissions for undergraduate applications, The University of Texas at Austin will return to requiring standardized testing scores, beginning with applications for the Fall 2025 semester: https://t.co/SmqOMxIqqQ
Many thanks to @PlanckScale, Yuya and Carol for kindly hosting me at Caltech. I learned a lot and had a wonderful week at the beautiful (and cool, literally) town of Pasadena.

Our paper with Christoph F. Uhlemann in July, presenting the existence of multiple RT surfaces in 4D holographic ICFT, while giving explicit examples. It modifies the universal relation of log terms in EE in 4D ICFT.
Our new paper on the CFT side proof of the universal relation in 2D ICFT, while giving a bound on the ‘effective central charge’. We also showed that the parallel statements work for higher dimensional holographic ICFTs.

Just heard about the 300kph Audi rs6 crash on the German autobahn. What fascinates me, who drives the lawless roads in US and China, is how German people really obey the laws of going on the right lane, even at 150+mph…
The nice little New England town of Amherst, MA has so many roundabouts in their roads. They are definitely more efficient and safer in the case of any number of intersections. Great city planning right there. Big Texas cities like Austin have no more than five of them.
Happy to elaborate. First off, preprints are not just an idea. They have been the reality in theoretical physics for 30 years and I would be surprised if you find anyone who wants to go back to the old days of journals and peer review 1/n
