PUBLIC LECTURE by Gerard 't Hooft
ARRIVAL INFORMATION
OBJECTIVES:
The workshop will focus on a broad range of issues in high-energy theory, such as gravity quantization (including string and matrix theories), non-perturbative dynamics of gauge theories, fundamental theoretical aspects of early cosmology and gravitational physics, etc. The talks are expected to be informal and interactive, with a substantial pedagogical component. We strongly encourage blackboard presentations.
Previous workshops: 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012
(Former participants include Changrim AHN, Carlo ANGELANTONJ, Ignatios ANTONIADIS, Adi ARMONI, Eric BERGSHOEFF, Martin CEDERWALL, Antonio DE FELICE, Frederik DENEF, Tohru EGUCHI, François ENGLERT, Jarah EVSLIN, Matthias GABERDIEL, Joaquim GOMIS, Rajesh GOPAKUMAR, Amihay HANANY, Chris HULL, Nikos IRGES, Dan ISRAEL, Alexandros KEHAGIAS, Sergey KETOV, Keun-Young KIM, Bum-Hoon LEE, Kimyeong LEE, Olivera MISKOVIC, Bengt NILSSON, Nobuyoshi OHTA, Takuya OKUDA, Eleftherios PAPANTOPOULOS, Fabio RICCIONI, Jorge RUSSO, Tsukasa TADA, Henry TYE, Peter SCHUPP, Henri VERSCHELDE, Yi YANG, Bin WANG, Wen-Yu WEN.)
This workshop preceeds BANGKOK WORKSHOP ON DISCRETE GEOMETRY AND STATISTICS held at the same venue two weeks later.
PRE- AND POST-WORKSHOP RESIDENCE PROGRAM:
Participants are invited to remain in residence for informal communication and collaboration during the weeks preceeding (January 2-6) and succeeding (January 16-20) the workshop. Please indicate the prospective timing of your stay at the time of registration.
REGISTRATION:
There will be no registration fees for the upcoming workshop.
Registration has been closed. General inquiries may be directed to Oleg Evnin <oleg.evnin@gmail.com> and Auttakit Chatrabhuti <dma3ac2@gmail.com>.
VENUE:
The workshop will be hosted by the physics department of Chulalongkorn University (commonly abbreviated as "Chula", pronounced choo-lah, with a stressed second syllable), Thailand's leading school in natural science fields centrally located in the modernized Pathumwan district of Bangkok.
PRACTICALITIES:
Citizens of a large number of nations (including EU, US, Canada, Russia, Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, a number of South-East-Asian countries and Hong Kong passport holders) enjoy visa-free entry to Thailand for up to 30 days. Some others (including India, mainland China and Taiwan passport holders) can obtain a visa-on-arrival at the airport for up to 15 days.
Participants are expected to arrange their own accommodations, though the organizers can provide some advice in this matter. Reservations should not be difficult to make via, e.g., booking.com or other similar sites, or by contacting the hotels directly. Being an epicenter of a gigantic tourist industry, Bangkok offers plentiful accommodations at all luxury levels, priced considerably lower than the general international standards. It should not be difficult to find housing within 1km of the workshop location indicated on this map. A neat mid-range (around 1200-1400 baht/night) hotel within walking distance that we can recommend is Patumwan House. (The Vista Residence hotel, which has been enjoyed by many workshop participants in the past, is closing down for remodelling, and no longer takes bookings.) Happy 3 Hotel has been preferred by some of our visitors as a somewhat more upscale alternative. We generally advise against the luxurious corporate highrise hotels, a few of which are located close to the university, but inquire if interested. (Very) basic accommodations can start at as low as 400 baht/night for a private room, for example, at Cozy Bangkok or White Lodge.
Climatic conditions in Bangkok are advantageous during the season of the workshop (roughly corresponding to a pleasantly warm and sunny summer in temperate countries).
