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.
- Registered Participants: TBA
- August 29: Arrival/Registration day.
- September 4: Departure date.
