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, each week, two members of the group each make a short presentation, either about their current area of research or a paper that has attracted their interest.
For Fall semester 2024, the Group meets on Mondays at 4-5PM for a research update, both a scheduled ca. half hour presentation and room for free-form updates, and on Thursdays at 4-5PM for a journal club. The schedule of speakers for this period is:
Group Meeting Schedule(*subject to change)
| Date | Research Presentation | Paper Presentation |
|---|---|---|
| Sep 2 & Sep 5 | [Labor day] | arXiv discussion |
| Sep 9 & Sep 12 | Aniket | Nathan |
| Sep 16 & Sep 19 | Nauman | Purnima |
| Sep 23 & Sep 26 | Subhayu | seminar |
| Sep 30 & Oct 3 | Anuradha (paper) | Amitesh |
| Oct 7 & Oct 10 | Nathan | Arindam |
| Oct 14 & Oct 17 | Purnima | Aniket |
| Oct 21 & Oct 24 | Dipika (paper) | Nauman |
| Oct 28 & Oct 31 | Amitesh | seminar |
| Nov 4 & Nov 7 | James (paper) | Nathan |
| Nov 11 & Nov 14 | Subhayu (paper) | seminar |
| Nov 18 & Nov 21 | Arindam | seminar |
| Nov 25 & Nov 28 | [Thanksgiving break] | |
| Dec 2 & Dec 5 | Francesco (paper) | Purnima |
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.
Tentative List of Seminars(*subject to change)
| Date | Speaker | Affiliation | Title of talk |

| 10/31/2024 | Jan Kożuszek | Imperial | The dynamics of dRGT massive gravity |
| 11/14/2024 | David Shlivko | Princeton | Beyond the cosmological constant: Detecting dynamical dark energy |
| 11/21/2024 | Sizheng Ma | Perimeter | Black Hole Spectroscopy Beyond Linear Quasinormal Modes |
The next scheduled seminar speaker is Sizheng Ma
Title: Black Hole Spectroscopy Beyond Linear Quasinormal Modes
Abstract: Black hole spectroscopy has gained significant attention in recent years. In this talk, I will explore what can be achieved beyond the study of linear quasinormal modes, focusing on two main topics. First, I will review recent advancements in the study of quadratic quasinormal modes. Then, I will present our latest work on tail modeling in binary black hole mergers, leveraging a novel numerical-relativity tool known as Cauchy-characteristic matching.

Note: Due to the current COVID-19 situation, the meetings have shifted to a hybrid format. This format will be followed until otherwise announced. In case one wishes to participate, please direct your queries to either Dr. Leo Stein <lcstein@olemiss.edu> or Dr. Anuradha Gupta <agupta1@olemiss.edu>.
