Conference “String Theory and Quantum Gravity”

Description

*

Understanding quantum gravity is one of the main open questions in modern theoretical physics. The most promising approach to this problem is currently string theory, which provides a unifying framework for all elementary particles and their interactions, including gravity. In recent years, important progress in has been made, in particular using the so-called AdS/CFT correspondence. The meeting will bring together some of the key proponents of these developments.
