We compute and compare the continuum limits of several quantities in QCD with and without a dynamical charm quark. We consider both low energy quantities, like the hadronic scales r0 and t 0 , and high energy quantities, ...

This thesis is divided into two parts. The first part concerns the study of the ambitwistor string and the scattering equations, while the second concerns the interplay of the symmetries of the asymptotic null boundary of ...

Since they were first envisioned, quantum computers have oft been portrayed as devices of limitless power, able to perform calculations in a mere instant that would take current computers years to determine. This is, of ...

This thesis presents an investigation into the dynamics of vortex rings impacting a sharply-stratified density interface. This problem has a long history and is important for understanding how individual eddies in stratified ...

This thesis examines previously unresolved issues regarding the fluid dynamics of the spread of buoyant water into a rotating environment. We focus in particular on the role that finite potential vorticity and background ...

e consider time-dependent solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations using anti–de Sitter (AdS) boundary conditions, and provide the first counterexample to the weak cosmic censorship conjecture in four spacetime dimensions. ...

Numerical relativity has proven to be a successful and robust tool for non-perturbative studies of gravitational phenomena in the highly dynamical and/or non-linear regime. Perhaps the most prominent achievement in the ...

The age of gravitational-wave astronomy has begun. Gravitational waves are propagating spacetime perturbations ($\textit{“ripples in the fabric of space-time”}$) predicted by Einstein’s theory of General Relativity. These ...
