The Evolution of Quasars with Cosmic Time

While the luminosity and mass distributions of quasars has evolved dramatically with cosmic time, the physical properties of quasars of a given luminosity are remarkably independent of redshift. I will describe recent results on the spectra of luminous quasars, the dark matter halos in which they sit, and the intergalactic medium of their host galaxies, that are essentially indistinguishable from moderate redshifts to z>6. The one property apparently unique to the highest-redshift quasars is that some small fraction show evidence for having very little infrared excess from hot dust. Dust obscuration is another theme in quasar studies; an appreciable fraction of the growth of black holes may be hidden at optical wavelengths by dust. I will describe searches for obscured quasars at high redshift and low, and studies of their demographics and physical properties.

A K matrix construction of symmetry enriched phases

Condensed Matter
We construct in the K matrix formalism concrete examples of symmetry enriched topological phases, namely intrinsically topological phases with global symmetries. We focus on the Abelian and non-chiral topological phases and demonstrate by our examples how the interplay between the global symmetry and the fusion algebra of the anyons of a topologically ordered system determines the existence of gapless edge modes protected by the symmetry and that a (quasi)-group structure can be defined among these phases. Our examples include phases that display charge fractionalization and more exotic non-local anyon exchange under global symmetry that correspond to general group extensions of the global symmetry group.

We start with a one-slide review of the Kontsevich-Soibelman (KS) solution to the wall-crossing problem and then proceed to direct and comprehensive physics counting of BPS states that eventually connects to KS. We also asks what input data is needed for either approaches to produce complete BPS spectra, and this naturally leads to the BPS quiver representation of BPS states and the new notion of quiver invariants.
We propose a simple geometrical conjecture that can segregate BPS states in Higgs phases of the BPS quiver dynamics to those that experience wall-crossing and those that do not, and give
proofs for all cyclice Abelian quivers. We close with explanation of how physics distinguishes two such classes of BPS states.
Qanti-kt: Nondeterministic jet clustering

High Energy Physics
The interpretation of events with jets is often ambiguous, especially for the sort of highly complex events one encounters at the LHC. One often finds that an event interpreted as signal-like using one choice of jet algorithm and radius parameter is no longer signal-like with another, even if the two are very similar. Here we present an extension of the Qjets procedure designed to account for this ambiguity and assign each plausible interpretation of an event a weight, so that events which are unambiguously signal-like carry more influence on one's results than events which are only marginally so. This procedure can be used with any existing analysis employing a sequential recombination algorithm like anti-kT and we will show that through its use the statistical power of an analysis often increases. In particular, we will see that a up to a 20\% improvement in statistical significance can be realized for a Higgs-like analysis searching for a resonance recoiling against an associated vector boson.
