Lederle Graduate Research Tower (LGRT) 419B, UMass Amherst
The Amherst Center for Fundamental Interactions will be hosting the second “Northeast Gravity Meeting” . The goal of this workshop is to bring together a group of experts, both senior and junior, working on topics in classical and quantum gravity, cosmology and related subjects. Of special interest this year are developments in the AdS/CFT correspondence, including implications for QCD, the proposed computational complexity /Action duality, and pre-inflationary physics.
Co-organizers:
