Chalonge - de Vega Lectures Autumn 2022 and Nobel Lectures in Physics ============================================== 1. Conferences ============================================== 1.1. Testing Gravity 2023, Vancouver, Canada --------------------------------------------------------------- Announcement on Hyperspace@GU: https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/?p=25219 Starting: 2023-01-18 to 2023-01-21 Location: Vancouver, Canada Additional Information: https://www.sfu.ca/physics/cosmology/TestingGravity2023/ Contact: testing-gravity[AT]sfu.ca Registration is open for the 4th Testing Gravity conference at SFU Harbour Centre in Vancouver, January 18-21, 2023. Like the previous meetings in this series, TG2023 will feature the latest updates from the gravitational wave detectors, laboratory tests, cosmological surveys and other experiments, as well as discussions of recent theoretical advances. Testing Gravity remains a topical theme because of the unexplained nature of Dark Matter and Dark Energy and the long-standing failure to reconcile gravity with quantum physics. The Testing Gravity conference series aims to provide theorists working on extensions of General Relativity with a realistic perspective on what aspects of their theories can be tested. On the other hand, the experimentalists and observers get a chance to learn about new ideas that their experiments can test. There will be a one-day "school" on Wednesday, January 18th, featuring review lectures covering the key topics of the conference. The main conference, January 19-21, will include invited and contributed talks, and a poster session. To register and for further information, including special accommodation rates, please visit the conference website. We are looking forward to seeing you in Vancouver. The Scientific Organizing Committee: Andrei Frolov, Makoto Fujiwara, Levon Pogosian, Dimitrios Psaltis, Douglas Scott and Alessandra Silvestri +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1.2. Third Hermann Minkowski Meeting on the Foundations of Spacetime Physics, Albena, Bulgaria --------------------------------------------------------------- Announcement on Hyperspace@GU: https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/2022/09/23/third-hermann-minkowski-meeti... Starting: 2023-05-15 to 2023-05-18 Location: Albena, Bulgaria Additional Information: http://www.minkowskiinstitute.org/meetings/2023/ Contact: minkowski2023[AT]minkowskiinstitute.org The Third Hermann Minkowski Meeting on the Foundations of Spacetime Physics will commemorate the 115th anniversary of Minkowski's 1908 world-view-changing lecture "Space and Time," which presented the novel ideas of the spacetime structure of the world and the four-dimensional physics of spacetime. In addition to technical papers on areas related to Minkowski's contributions to the foundations of spacetime physics, papers on closely related topics, including on conceptual issues of spacetime physics, will be also welcome. There will be a special session on how Hermann Minkowski, had he been alive in 1915, might have reformulated Einstein's general relativity: whether gravitational phenomena can be fully accounted for by the non-Euclidean geometry of spacetime without the need to assume that gravitation is a physical interaction; in 1921 Eddington mentioned this possibility explicitly - "gravitation as a separate agency becomes unnecessary" (A. S. Eddington, The Relativity of Time, Nature 106, 802-804, 17 February 1921). Contributed papers in the form of extended abstracts of up to two pages should be emailed to minkowski2023[AT]minkowskiinstitute.org by January 31, 2023. Submissions will be reviewed and notification of acceptance will be sent by February 28, 2023. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1.3. 5th Zeldovich meeting, Yerevan, Armenia --------------------------------------------------------------- Announcement on Hyperspace@GU: https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/2022/09/30/5th-zeldovich-meeting/ Starting: 2023-06-12 to 2023-06-17 Location: Yerevan, Armenia Additional Information: http://www.icranet.org/zeldovich5 Contact: zeld5[AT]icranet.org We are happy to announce the 5th Zeldovich meeting, an international conference in honor of Ya.

Ideally, you already have some experience with the data analysis tools relevant for LISA. You are expected to closely collaborate with Bonga and students in her group. In addition, you should be open to interact with Radboud University's data analysis experts on gravitational waves (B. Krishnan and G. Nelemans) and particle physics (S. Caron). The goal is to improve current models for tidal resonances, create efficient and accurate waveform models and develop data analysis tools to identify tidal resonances in mock data and extract the relevant parameters.

Special issue of Symmetry ------------------------------------------------------------ Announcement on Hyperspace@GU: https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/2022/09/06/special-issue-of-symmetry/ Additional Information: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/symmetry/special_issues/611S4E4W8Y We have announced a special issue of Symmetry, titled "Advances in Theoretical Physics, Quantum Gravity and Spacetime Symmetries", and anyone is welcome to submit a paper. Summary of the issue: In the search for a theory of quantum gravity, a pressing pressing question is "what is the structure of spacetime at the Planck scale?". Spacetime symmetries, and violations thereof, are promising probes for testing Planck-scale departures from known physics, and some of the most precise tests of Lorentz/CPT symmetry have Planck reach. Several approaches to Planck-scale physics can lead to the spontaneous breaking of spacetime symmetries in the gravitational sector, which could lead to observational signatures in current and future experiments. Therefore, it is of interest to study the theoretical mechanisms of spacetime-symmetry breaking in order to be able to identify any such observational hints of new physics.
