Location:

Trieste - Italy

Venue:

LB (Main Lecture Hall)

Organizer(s):

J. de Boer (University of Amsterdam), E. Gava (INFN), S. Kachru (Stanford University & SLAC), K.S. Narain (ICTP), S. Randjbar-Daemi (ICTP)

Collaboration(s):

the Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics (APCTP), the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) & the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA)

Description:

TOPICS:

• Physics of Black Holes
• Gauge / Gravity Correspondence
• Scattering Amplitudes in SYM and Supergravity
• Physics Beyond the Standard Model
• Holographic QCD
• Holographic Condensed Matter
