Some of the most interesting physics problems currently under
investigation are strongly correlated systems both in and (far) out of
equilibrium. A quantitative and even qualitative understanding of
such strongly correlated systems requires the application of methods
that encompass the description of (non-perturbative) strong
correlations and critical phenomena, dynamical aspects as well as
being applicable at different length, momentum and time scales and a
possibly related change of the relevant degrees of freedom. Among
various methods the most tailor-made one for these challenges is the
renormalization group in its modern, functional, formulation. This
workshop aims at encouraging interdisciplinary and integrated
discussions based on the renormalization group.
The main topics will include:
- Phase diagram & dynamics of QCD
- Astrophysics & nuclear structure from the RG
- Phase diagram & dynamics of ultracold gases
- Cosmology & UV completion of the Standard Model
- Non-equilibrium evolution & dynamics
We plan to have an intense week (
August 29 -- September 2)
with 20 talks (4 per day) during
the workshop and most of the rest of the time is reserved for
discussions. Participants are invited to stay for a longer period
(1-3 weeks with a working desk, an access to the printer and internet
facilities supplied).
You can find the list of the confirmed speakers at the
Participants page.
We look forward to having fruitful discussions in Kyoto, Japan!
