Notice for QCD Meets Gravity 2022:
QCD Meets Gravity 2022 will be held Dec 12-16 in Zurich
Workshop Details
December 13-17, 2021
Location: Via Zoom
This is the 7th in a series of meetings for researchers interested in the remarkable correspondence between Yang-Mills theory and gravity, known as the double-copy construction. Due to the continuing pandemic the meeting will be on line, following a similar format as used last year. The meeting brings together experts in both gauge and gravity theories including supersymmetric extensions and focuses on bringing the methodologies developed for gauge theories to handle problems in gravity. An early manifestation of this is the KLT relations. The BCJ double-copy construction has greatly simplified multiloop perturbative computations in gravity theories, leading to new insight into the ultraviolet properties of gravity theories. Currently, there is an intense global research activity to understand the origin of the relationship as well as to apply it to more general classical solutions in General Relativity, including the important problem of gravitational radiation from compact astrophysical objects. This year significant component will be devoted to discussing recent developments on gravitational EFTs that arise from unitarity and positivity. Registration will not be necessary since everything will be available via zoom. For zoom link, please email cristina@physics.ucla.edu.
