About:

The aim of the workshop is to bring together a diverse group of about thirty researchers, in an informal setting. The workshop will be discussion-oriented, with up to three talks a day, which will span a wide range of topics regarding quantum features in a de Sitter universe. These include:

  • ▪ holography and quantum gravity in de Sitter spacetimes,
  • ▪ infrared properties of expanding spacetimes,
  • ▪ CFT techniques and cosmological correlations,
  • ▪ lower-dimensional theories and matrix model techniques.
