Lorentzian Quantum Gravity: Renormalization Group and Phase Structure, Munich, Germany --------------------------------------------------------------- Announcement on Hyperspace@GU: https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/?p=26791 Starting: 2023-09-07 to 2023-09-08 Location: Munich, Germany Additional Information: https://www.cas.uni-muenchen.de/veranstaltungen/tagungen/ws_pithis/index.ht… Contact: Andreas.Pithis[AT]physik.uni-muenchen.de Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce and invite you to participate in the two-day workshop "Lorentzian Quantum Gravity: Renormalization Group and Phase Structure" at the Center for Advanced Studies of the University of Munich (LMU) from Thursday 07/09/23 to Friday 08/09/23. This workshop will bring together researchers investigating different approaches to (Lorentzian) quantum gravity which include causal dynamical triangulations, causal sets, asymptotically safe gravity, tensor models, group field theories and spin foam models. The main goal is to encourage a fruitful exchange of ideas in a pleasant and amicable atmosphere to bridge gaps, find common ground or accentuate differences between the different approaches. In particular, the focus will be on whether, to what extent and which Lorentzian aspects play a significant role for the definition of the theory as well as for the recovery of a physically desirable continuum limit to be explored, for instance, by renormalization group methods. The workshop will consist of 4 sessions with altogether 12 speakers. Each session will include ample time for discussions after the presentations. The list of speakers consists of Jan Ambjorn, Jan Pawlowski, Astrid Eichhorn, Dario Benedetti, Daniele Oriti, Sebastian Steinhaus, Seth Asante, Stav Zalel, Maximilian Becker, Renata Ferrero, Johannes Thuerigen and Andreas Pithis. For further information (schedule, location etc.), please visit the website of the workshop which will be frequently updated. We encourage people interested to join for the discussions to register via info[AT]cas.lmu.de. In particular, we invite people outside of Munich to join via Zoom (the Zoom link will be sent after completing the registration). Kind regards, Dr. Andreas Pithis Acknowledgement: The workshop will be generously funded by the Center for Advanced Studies (CAS) of the LMU via its "Junior Researcher in Residence" program. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1.2.

More information: https://cerg1.ugc.edu.hk/hkpfs/index.html About the group: The CUHK GW group researches gravitational waves, ripples in the fabric of space-time. These waves carry information about some of the most extreme objects in the Universe. Thanks to gravitational-wave detectors' continued development, the current gravitational-wave detectors now make weekly detections when online. Moreover, with the rapidly improving detectors and more detections, many new scientific investigations are expected to become possible. This means there is much exciting work to do in investigating new detection avenues. The group is a part of the LVK collaboration and is led by Otto Hannuksela and Tjonnie Li. The group works on topics ranging from numerical simulations of magnetars to gravitational lensing, waveform modeling, tests of general relativity, and pulsar timing arrays. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2.5.

These tools will be applied and evaluated in a range of applications, including gravitational astronomy, the main subject of the present offer. The successful candidate will collaborate with Eric Chassande-Mottin (one of the co-leads of RICOCHET) on the development of analysis methods for gravitational polarimetry based on observations from the Virgo and LIGO gravitational wave detectors. This largely unexplored field offers promising prospects. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to join the international Virgo scientific collaboration and work on the latest data from the O4 science run currently underway. Contract Period : 24 months Remuneration : Between 4100 and 4540 euros gross per month depending on experience The candidate must hold: - either a PhD in statistical signal processing, data science or machine learning with an interest in astrophysics ; - or a PhD in astroparticle physics with skills and professional experience in experimental data analysis. Work Context The APC laboratory [https://apc.u-paris.fr], located in the center of Paris (France), on the Universite' Paris Cite' campus, is a multidisciplinary laboratory developing research in five scientific fields: cosmology, high-energy astrophysics, gravitation, particle physics and theory.

Conference on Quantum Effects in Gravitational Fields, Leipzig, Germany (reminder) ------------------------------------------------------------ Announcement on Hyperspace@GU: https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/?p=26808 Additional Information: https://indico.tpi.uni-jena.de/event/289/ The combination of quantum and gravitational physics led decades ago to the prediction of quantum radiation by black holes and the production of quantum particles in expanding universes. In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest, arising from both a theoretical and an experimental perspective. On the theoretical side, there are significant new findings regarding quantum effects in the inside of black holes or the interconnections between quantum entanglement, gravity, and holography. On the experimental side, there have been advances on observational signatures of quantum effects in gravitational fields, motivated partly by impressive advances in technology. During August 28-September 1, 2023, we will hold an in-person conference at Leipzig University, Germany, to present and discuss recent developments in the field. Confirmed plenary speakers are: Stefan Floerchinger (Heidelberg and Jena, Germany) Christian Gerard (Orsay, France) Veronika E. Hubeny (UC Davis, U.S.A.) Harvey S. Reall (Cambridge, U.K.) Jeff Steinhauer (Technion, Israel) Robert M. Wald (Chicago, U.S.A.) Elizabeth Winstanley (Sheffield, U.K.) Noa Zilberman (Technion, Israel) We also welcome contributed talks from scientists working on this area.

The Committee consisting of Profs. Lars Andersson, Mauro Carfora, Gerhard Huisken, Luciano Rezzolla, and Fulvio Ricci prepared the following laudation: "...Dr. Maggio's Ph. D. thesis, Probing new physics on the horizon of black holes with gravitational waves, offers a comprehensive and brilliant overview of the phenomenology of exotic compact objects and their connection to testing gravity with gravitational wave observations. Her thesis work is unique in broadness, novelty, and combination of conceptual, technical, numerical, and phenomenological results, providing an outstanding example of original, bold research at the interface between gravitational-wave astronomy and General Relativity. Elisa Maggio is an outstanding scholar emerging as an excellent and active young scientist in gravitational wave astronomy, among the best early-career scientists of her generation. We will look at her work as foundational in the field, allowing us to probe physics beyond our reach just a few years ago...." In recognition of the high quality of the nominations received, the Committee has also decided to award an honorable mention to the outstanding Ph.D. research carried out by Gabriele Benomio in the Thesis "The wave equation on black rings and the linear stability of slowly rotating Kerr spacetimes." The prize is sponsored by The University of Pavia and by the Italian Society for Relativity and Gravitational Physics (SIGRAV) to honor the memory of Giulio Rampa. It is given to a graduate student every two years for outstanding research in general relativity. The prize was established in 2011 and is endowed under the terms of a donation from Nadia and Giorgio Rampa. Each GRT prize carries a certificate and a net check for EUR 2,000. The prizes will be presented to Elisa Maggio at the 25th edition of the "Italian Society for General Relativity and Gravitation (SIGRAV) Conference" that will be held at SISSA (Trieste), Italy, on 4-8 September 2023. This biennial conference is devoted to all aspects of gravitational physics. The Rampa Prize winner will present her work during a special conference session. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
