===================================================

Summer Institute 2010 is the third summer workshop at Fuji-Yoshida for
cosmologists and string theorists. The aim of this workshop is to provide
an occasion where the researchers from the two areas gather at a single place
to initiate an intensive and systematic research on various topics of their
common interest. It is sponsored by the Grant-in-Aid for Creative Scientific
Research "Superstring Theory and Creation of Universe" (project #19GS0219,
Principal Investigator: Tohru Eguchi).

The workshop takes place at a seminar house in Fuji-Yoshida city, one of the
most popular summer resorts in Japan at the foot of Mt. Fuji. The place has
a panoramic view of the mountain as well as an extensive lawn suitable for
sports and recreational activities. We hope the calm and refreshing environment
will help concentrating on the research and facilitate discussions of people
from different areas in physics.

The workshop consists of the sessions on string theory (4-8 August), cosmology
(10-14) and the joint session in between (8-10) where we have lectures on topics
of common interest. This year we plan to invite some cosmologists and string
theorists from abroad as lecturers, and the seminars will be delivered
in English.

The invited lecturers include

Sergei Dubovsky (Stanford)
Richard Easther (Yale)
Gary Shiu (Wisconsin)
Piotr Sulkowski (Caltech)
Chung-I Tan (Brown)
Toby Wiseman (Imperial)

The registration is open until the number of participants reach the capacity
of the workshop site.  Please note also that we will ask most participants
to share twin rooms during the joint session and other days with many
participants.

Looking forward to seeing you in Fuji-Yoshida,
