1-day Workshop on Quantum Gravity

July 4th 2019, RIKEN, Wako, Japan

In order to construct a quantum theory of gravity, it is currently required to study freely from various viewpoints. In this small workshop, we will discuss various different topics such as field theory, string theory, quantum black hole, quantum universe and so on, and will consider future directions to quantum gravity casually but deeply. Let's enjoy exciting discussions!

Speakers

・Pei-Ming Ho (National Taiwan University) “Trapping Horizon and Negative Energy”
・Keisuke Izumi (Nagoya University) “S-matrix Unitarity and Renormalizability”
・Hikaru Kawai (Kyoto University) “Quantum Universe and Naturalness”
・Yutaka Matsuo (University of Tokyo) “Quantum toroidal algebra and M-theory”
・Yuki Yokokura (RIKEN) “Black Hole as a Quantum Field Configuration ”
・Tamiaki Yoneya (University of Tokyo) “Revisiting the quantization problem of Nambu dynamics”
