YITP Long-term and Nishinomiya-Yukawa Memorial Workshop

Progress of Theoretical Bootstrap

October 27th - November 28th, 2025
Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University

On this long-term workshop

This is a long-term workshop entitled "Progress of Theoretical Bootstrap" at Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics (YITP), Kyoto University, for five weeks, from Oct.27 (Mon) to Nov.28(Fri), 2025.

The long-term workshop aims to gather theoretical physicists working on bootstrap broadly defined, exchanging ideas and encouraging fruitful discussions in the relaxing atmosphere of Kyoto. The first week of the workshop is devoted to the Extreme Universe International Conference.

It is a "stay-and-discuss" style workshop, where each participant is encouraged to stay long and is assigned to a desk in an office at YITP. We arrange core discussions week on the 1st, 3rd, and 4th week, where we have several seminar sessions led by core participants. On the 2nd and 5th weeks, we arrange one or two seminar sessions including the poster sessions and contribution talks. For the remaining times other than these sessions, participants are free to work on their own research, discuss physics with other participants, have fun bootstrapping, and start new collaborations during the workshop.

Shall we bootstrap in Kyoto? We welcome yoru pariticipation!
