5th PI/UT/CITA Workshop (CIAR Cosmology & Gravity Focus Group)
University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Monday December 6, 2004
| Also sponsored by the Cosmology and Gravity Program of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research |  |
This mini-workshop will be the next of an ongoing series of one-day meetings between researchers at Perimeter, CITA and University of Toronto. These meetings are held to share new ideas and encourage interactions in our common fields of interest: superstrings, cosmology, particle theory and quantum gravity.
The meeting will be held in the Physics Building of the University of Toronto on Monday December 6. As usual, the format of the meeting will be a series of short 30-minute talks to seed informal discussion. The seminars will start at 11am in the Physics Lounge seminar room -- refreshments will be available starting at 10:30am. The afternoon session will be held in the CITA Lounge.
Organizers:
Speakers:
- Cliff Burgess (PI/McMaster): Supersymmetric Large Extra Dimensions and the Cosmological Constant
- Liam McAllister (Stanford): Volume Stabilization and the Inflaton Mass
- Bond/Contaldi/Kofman/Vaudgevange (CITA): Scanning Inflation
- Anthony Lewis (CITA): Probing vector, tensor and other cosmological perturbations
- Pat McDonald (CITA):Primordial Spectrum from Lyman Alpha Clouds
- Thomas Thiemann (Perimeter/AEI):Cosmological Applications of Loop Quantum Gravity
Mirror Symmetry Workshop
November 19-23, 2004
This meeting will be an international gathering of leading researchers to discuss the latest developments in our understanding of "mirror symmetry", a surprising relation that can exist between two Calabi-Yau manifolds. It happens that two such geometries may look very different, but are nevertheless equivalent when employed as hidden dimensions in string theory. Mirror symmetry has become a very powerful tool in both physics and mathematics.
Talks presented at the Mirror Symmetry Workshop may be found here.
Please note that you must have Windows Media Player version 9 or higher installed on your computer to view the talks.

Distinguished Lecture: Nigel Hitchin
|
November 17, 2004
|
Nigel Hitchin is one of the world's foremost geometers, and beyond that he has exercised a major influence on the shape of modern theoretical physics. He will deliver a lecture entitled "Geometry with B-fields" at Perimeter on November 17th. This lecture will be the third and final lecture in his Coxeter Lectures, co-sponsored by the Fields Institute in Toronto. Follow this link for more information on the full lecture series.

Workshop on Quantum Gravity in the Americas: Status and future directions
The goal of the workshop is to bring together Quantum Gravity researchers working in the Americas to share their approaches and results, draw connections between research efforts, develop a broader perspective on the issues, focus on outstanding problems, foster an interactive community, and set objectives for future research. This workshop is a following-up of the workshop organized in January in Mexico.

Workshop on Reference Frames and Superselection Rules in Quantum Information Theory
Perimeter Institute, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
July 12-16, 2004
COSMO-04
University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
September 17-21, 2004
Perimeter is a co-sponsor for COSMO-04. The focus of this international workshop will be the symbiosis between particle physics and cosmology, one of the central problems of modern theoretical physics.
