Black Holes Inside and Out, Copenhagen, Denmark --------------------------------------------------------------- Announcement on Hyperspace@GU: https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/?p=27063 Starting: 2024-08-26 to 2024-08-30 Location: Copenhagen, Denmark Additional Information: https://strong-gr.com/black-holes-inside-and-out/ Contact: vitor.cardoso[AT]nbi.ku.dk Black holes are the most amazing macroscopic objects in the universe. According to Einstein's General Relativity, their exterior is extremely simple, while their interior holds the failure of the underlying theory. There are thus strong reasons to test black hole spacetimes, an endeavor made possible by gravitational-wave astronomy and very-large baseline interferometry. The conference "Black Holes Inside and Out" will be devoted to the discussion of black-hole physics in a broad sense. Its main aim is to bring together people working on theoretical, phenomenological, and observational aspects of classical and quantum black holes. Talks will cover foundational topics as well as recent theoretical and observational breakthroughs. Each session will consist of invited talks and ample discussion sessions. This conference is preceded by the focused workshops "Ringdown Inside and Out" (Aug 22-24). We hope that while both meetings can certainly be attended separately, participants as well as speakers can benefit from the proximity of the events, allowing them to continue discussions. Invited speakers include: Niayesh Afshordi Abhay Ashtekar Enrico Barausse Iosif Bena Emanuele Berti Richard Brito Alessandra Buonanno Cliff Burgess Gregorio Carullo Mihalis Dafermos Mariafelicia de Laurentis Adrian del Rio Roberto Emparan Netta Engelhardt Stefan Gillessen Ruth Gregory Carlos Herdeiro Tanja Hinderer Jutta Kunz Luis Lehner Ramesh Narayan Samaya Nissanke Paolo Pani Alessia Platania Eric Poisson Frans Pretorius Misao Sasaki Paul Tiede Will Unruh Matt Visser Bob Wald Silke Weinfurtner Helvi Witek The meeting will be held at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. The Niels Bohr Institute carries an important legacy in physics and is one of the leading institute in theoretical and experimental physics. Copenhagen is a very enjoyable and beautiful city, and as the capital of Denmark has plenty of wonderful things to do and is easy to reach. The entire Nordic region has plenty to offer and is a remarkable place for summer vacations. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1.4. Puzzles in the Quantum Gravity Landscape: viewpoints from different approaches, Waterloo, Canada --------------------------------------------------------------- Announcement on Hyperspace@GU: https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/?p=27070 Starting: 2023-10-23 to 2023-10-27 Location: Waterloo, Canada Additional Information: https://events.perimeterinstitute.ca/event/47/ Contact: conferences[AT]perimeterinstitute.ca Unraveling the quantum nature of gravity is one of the most pressing problems of theoretical physics. Several ideas have been put forward and resulted in a number of theories of quantum gravity. While these theories have explored different facets of the "quantum gravity landscape", all viable approaches should ultimately make contact with observations, and answer exciting questions in cosmology and black-hole physics. Sharing knowledge, exchanging ideas, and building a dictionary between different theories are crucial steps toward answering these questions, efficiently contrasting different theories, and ultimately reaching a deeper understanding of our Universe. This conference will contribute to these goals by bringing together leading experts in different approaches to quantum gravity, gravitational effective field theory, black-hole physics, and cosmology. We will focus on specific puzzles in quantum gravity and their resolutions within different approaches. The conference will be highly interactive, with plenty of time to discuss common problems, understand the big picture, and develop novel connections between fields.

This mini-course provides an introduction to quantum field theory in curved spacetime. Our goal will be to derive the Unruh effect and use it as an example of many techniques employed in the community: the algebraic approach, Fock space quantization, path integral techniques, and particle detectors. We shall also discuss a bit about the Hawking effect. The last lecture is devoted to the functional renormalization group, a technique that hasn't been much explored within QFT in curved spacetimes settings so far. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3.2.
