The Loops’17 conference will highlight recent developments and new research directions in loop quantum gravity and other background independent approaches to the problem of quantum gravity.
– Deadline for early registration: May 15th, 2017
– Deadline for late registration: June 15th, 2017
– Deadline for submission of talks (extended): June 1st, 2017
A non-exhaustive list of topics of the conference includes: Canonical loop quantum gravity, Covariant LQG (Spinfoams), Symmetry-reduced models, Quantum cosmology, Black holes in quantum gravity, Quantum gravity phenomenology, Foundational and mathematical aspects.
Although the conference is focused on non-perturbative approaches to quantum gravity, experts from other fields of quantum gravity research are also encouraged to participate.
