LGRT 1033
This workshop will highlight recent progress in understanding the landscape of quantum gravities, as well as defining the important open questions and developing connections with different areas of particle theory. The themes of the program will mimic the various approaches used to tackle this problem from top-down to bottom-up constructions as well as relating constraints from cosmology, holography and generalized symmetry structures.
Co-organizers:
