Fifth Tux winter workshop (2017)

Fifth Tux workshop on Quantum Gravity

Basic Information

 

When?

Monday, February 13 to Friday, February 17 2017

Where?

In the Tux Center, in the village of Tux, in the Austrian alps.

Tux in winter

What?

Topics covered by the conference include

  • All approaches to loop quantum gravity (e.g. canonical, covariant, GFT)
  • Other approaches to quantum gravity and their relation to LQG
  • LQG related quantum gravity phenomenology
  • Quantum gravity topics of general interest

Hintertux Glacier

This year, we specifically invite contributions concerning the continuum limit and renormalisation. More general and in particular pedagogical talks on these issues are highly welcome. While all other contributions are also welcome, we reserve the right to treat presentations targeting the topic of the workshop with preference.

Registration

Registration

Please register your participation in the workshop by email to

  • Norbert Bodendorfer <Norbert.Bodendorfer_at_fuw.edu.pl>
  • Hanno Sahlmann <hanno.sahlmann_at_gravity.fau.de>

as soon as practical, and before Dec 2016.

Please send title and abstract of your proposed talk to

  • Norbert Bodendorfer <Norbert.Bodendorfer_at_fuw.edu.pl>

We in specifically invite contributions concerning the continuum limit and renormalisation. More generally, we encourage contributions which go beyond presenting current results, but focus on making some interesting point not necessarily based on ones own research or highlight connections between different topics. Since one of the main aims of this workshops is to generate discussion and interaction, such contributions are particularly welcome. Also, given time constraints due to an increasing number of participants each year, we reserve the right to treat such contributions with preference.

Travel and Housing

Travel and Housing

Housing can be booked via the tourist information in Tux. Please notice that the conference venue is in Tux-Lanersbach:

Tux-Center
Lanersbach 401
6293 Tux
www.tux-center.at

If you stay in Hintertux or in Finkenberg, you would have to take a bus to get there. Should you encounter any problems with finding accommodation, we are there to help. Please contact Norbert.Bodendorfer@fuw.edu.pl

The nearest international airports are Munich and Innsbruck. From there, Tux can be reached by bus, train, or shuttle. If you are interested in shuttle service, please check out

Four Seasons Travel
www.tirol-taxi.at
Tel: +43 512 584157
e-Mail: office@airport-transfer.com

They offer affordable two way transfer from Munich airport. They say a typical wait at the airport is 30 minutes. If a certain number of people arrive on the same plane and book together, there is a rebate.

If you come by public transport, the situation is as follows: The regular trains of the German and Austrian railway companies stop in Jenbach. From there, there is a train connection with the Ziller Valley Railway Company to Mayrhofen. Mayrhofen is some 15km from Tux, and there are buses that run between Mayrhofen and Tux. You can find the schedules as well as more detailed information on the travel page and the schedules page of the tourist information in Tux

If you arrive late or have to leave early, there might be no suitable connection between Jenbach and Tux. In this case, please let us know, and we will try to organize some kind of car transport for you.
