Workshop Description
The Center for Fundamental Theory of the Institute for Gravitation and the Cosmos at Penn State is organizing a three-day workshop titled "Supergravity versus Superstring Theory in the Ultraviolet." The dates are August 27-30, 2009 (both days inclusive). This workshop will bring together experts in supergravity, superspace and higher-loop calculations aiming at unraveling the high energy behavior of supergravity theories in four dimensions. We plan to keep the workshop quite informal with time allotted for discussions. The invited speakers include:
- Tom Banks
- Nathan Berkovits
- Zvi Bern
- Niels Emil Bjerrum-Bohr
- John Joseph Carrasco
- Henriette Elvang
- Daniel Freedman
- Mike Green
- Renata Kallosh
- Kelly Stelle
- Pierre Vanhove
- Daniel Waldram
