Conformal anomalies: theory and applications 2024

Jun 5, 2024, 8:00 AM → Jun 7, 2024, 6:15 PM Europe/Paris

Amphi E030, bâtiment E2, rez-de-chaussée (Tours)

Maxim Chernodub (CNRS, Université de Tours, France), Sergey Solodukhin ( Institut Denis Poisson), Laetitia Portier (Institut Denis Poisson)

This workshop will bring together leading experts from around the world to discuss the latest advances in our understanding of conformal symmetries and their anomalies, covering a wide range of topics related to conformal systems, including:

• Correlation functions
• Boundaries
• Applications in black holes
• Cosmology
• Strongly coupled systems
• Condensed matter systems
   

This event is a follow-up to the first workshop on conformal anomalies held in Tours in 2022.

There is no conference fee.
