[Todos] Summer School: PASI on Quantum Gravity.

[Gaston Giribet]

Reenvio el anuncio de una escuela en Mexico:


Dear Colleagues,

Arrangements are now being finalized for a Quantum Gravity summer school 
(Pan-American Advanced Studies Institute on Quantum Gravity) to be hosted 
by the Institute for Mathematics of the National Autonomous University Of 
Mexico (UNAM) in Morelia, Mexico, June 23-July 3, 2010. Please see 
http://www.physics.ucsb.edu/~pasi/ for up to date information and the 
application/financial aid form.   Applications should be received by

Jan 31, 2009

to receive full consideration.  Please note: We expect to be able to cover 
all local expenses  as well as to provide significant (and, in some cases, 
full) travel support for participants from the Americas. Unfortuantely, 
our funding cannot support the expenses of participants based outside the 
Americas.

Lectures at the school will describe current research in several 
approaches to quantum gravity, including string theory, loop gravity, and 
causal dynamical triangulations. Anticipated lecturers include:

Abhay Ashtekar (Penn State U.)
Máximo Bañados (Universidad Católica)
Alejandro Corichi (UNAM-Morelia)
Scott Dodelson (Fermilab)
Laurent Freidel (Perimeter Institute)
Alberto Güijosa (ICN-UNAM)
Veronika Hubeny (Durham U.)
Clifford Johnson (USC)
Per Kraus (UCLA)
Renate Loll (Utrecht U.)
Carlo Rovelli (U. Marseille)
Robert Wald (U. Chicago)

Lectures will be appropriate for advanced Ph.D students and beginning 
postdocs. The goal of the school is to bring together researchers from 
these different approaches from throughout the americas.

Logistics and Funding:

The location and timing of our school have been chosen to synergize with 
the  19th International Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation 
(GR19), to be held July 5-9, 2010 in Mexico City  (see 
http://www.gr19.com/). We have funding from the U.S. National Science 
Foundation to support travel and local expenses for participants from 
throughout the americas. We expect to be able to cover all local expenses 
as well as to provide significant (and, in some cases, full) travel 
support for participants from the Americas.   Nevertheless, we urge the 
student's home institutions to support the students to the maximum 
possible extent as this will increase the number of students who can 
participate in our school.  Unfortuantely, our funding cannot support the 
expenses of participants based outside the Americas.

Please distribute this announcement to interested students and postdocs.

We look forward to an exciting school!

Sincerely,

Donald Marolf
Alejandro Corichi
