(Joint seminar with the School of Theoretical Physics)
Prof. Peter Coles
Maynooth University
The Wave Mechanics of Large-scale Structure
Abstract:
There has been been a resurgence of interest recently in an idea, originally raised in a seminal paper by Widrow & Kaiser (1993), that the equations describing the evolution of a self-gravitating fluid can be rewritten in the form of a Schrodinger equation coupled to a Poisson equation determining the gravitational potential. In this talk I’ll discuss some of the merits of this idea and explain why it is of topical interest, illustrating the talk with examples of recent work.
Location: Lecture Room, 1st Floor, School of Theoretical Physics, DIAS, 10 Burlington Road, Dublin 4

@aliiicv @fermatslibrary We just celebrated Synge Week here in DIAS. He spent his last 47 years back in Ireland working with the institute. You can see the influence of having a famous uncle as a writer and playwright here✍️
