Rethinking Bar Formation in Disk Galaxies—Elena D'ONGHIA

Stellar bars are ubiquitous in disk galaxies, yet despite decades of theoretical and numerical work, a predictive understanding of when disks become bar unstable remains elusive. Classical approaches based on local stability criteria or idealized global arguments often fail to capture the behavior of realistic disks embedded in external potentials ...

Demystifying lattice QCD computations of alpha_s—Martin LÜSCHER

Lattice QCD permits the strong coupling constant alpha_s to be determined from the masses and decay constants of the light hadrons. The precision achieved in these computations is competitive with the one of the world average of the experimental measurements of the coupling and is likely to improve in the ...

Lessons of the effective field theory of quantum gravity—John DONOGHUE

General Relativity is naturally treated as a quantum field theory using the techniques of effective field theory. In this colloquium, I will review the simple ideas behind this treatment and provide examples. This will lead to a discussion of the lessons learned and the limits of the theory. Overall I ...
