Scientific Scope
Understanding the quantum structure of spacetime is a major research theme in theoretical physics. In the last decade quantum-field-theory-based approaches – either utilizing an effective field theory framework or targeting quantum field theories of gravity valid on all scales – have been in the focus of several national and international research initiatives. In particular, functional methods, including the renormalization group, Monte Carlo techniques, and the derivation of consistency bounds imposed from low-energy physics, have advanced to powerful tools driving these investigations. At the same time new observational channels probing the strong gravity regime may advance into an interesting arena for testing quantum gravity phenomenology in the future. Our workshop will bring together the leading researchers working in these research areas. Its program will give an overview of recent developments related to open fundamental questions (unitarity, causality, stability, and low-energy consistency bounds) as well as potential phenomenological consequences with respect to the physics of black holes, cosmology, and gravitational waves. Its goal is to sharpen the key questions which must be addressed in order to connect the fundamental and phenomenological branches in a meaningful way.
Prerequisits for the Tutorial Courses
We are very much looking forward to Gustavo de Brito and Benjamin Knorr introducing us to the world of handling flow equations within Mathematica. The prerequisits for the tutorial are summarized here. Please make sure that you have Mathematica and Xact running before the tutorial starts!
Registration deadlines
The registration for the event is closed.
Format
The workshop will have a hybrid format, and online participation via streaming will be ensured. Online participants can participate on an equal footing in question sessions, discussions etc. Online talks will also be an option.
