Sixh Alexander Friedmann International Seminar on Gravitation and Cosmology
The Seminar will be held from June 28th to July 3rd, 2004 at Cargèse Institute, Corsica, France, and aims at the continuation of the Friedmann Seminars previously held at St. Petersburg (Russia) and João Pessoa (Brazil). The first Friedmann Seminar in 1988 was dedicated to the centenary anniversary of Alexander Friedmann. The working language of the Seminar is English.
| Organizers: | 1) Center for Theoretical Physics, Université de Provence (Marseille, France). |
| 2) Alexander Friedmann Laboratory for Theoretical Physics (St. Petersburg, Russia). |
Organizing Scientific Committee: M. Carmeli (Israel), T. Damour (France), N. Deruelle (France), J. Fonseca (Scientific Secretary, Brazil), B. Geyer (Germany), Yu. N. Gnedin (Russia), A. A. Grib (Russia), G. L. Klimchitskaya (Brazil, Russia), V.N. Melnikov (Russia), U. Mohideen (USA), V. M. Mostepanenko (Vice-Chairman, Brazil, Russia), M. Novello (Brazil), C. Romero (Brazil), R. K. Tavakol (England), R. Triay (Chairman, France).
The Seminar Scopes are Traditionally Rather Wide and Include Selected Topics on
:
1) Classical gravity.
2) Observational cosmology.
3) Quantum effects in curved space-time (Casimir effect in that number).
4) Quantum gravity.
5) Gravitational theory with extra dimensions.
Seminar Expenses: The Seminar registration fee is US$150. Estimated local expenses per person per day are US$45 (including accommodation based on double occupancy and three meals). The Organizing Committee hopes that it could be possible to cover Cargèse's local expenses and registration fee for a limited number of participants from the former Soviet Union and developing countries.
Location: The Cargèse Institute is located on the seashore of the island of Corsica, 50 km north of Ajaccio, 2 km south of Cargèse, a pleasant village of considerable charm and historic interest.
