Supersymmetry breaking in String Theory
Isaac Newton Institute Cambridge, United Kingdom
EventSupersymmetry breaking in String TheoryLocation Isaac Newton Institute Cambridge, United Kingdom March 10, 2014 - March 14, 2014 Supersymmetry breaking in string theory is a crucial issue, both for formal and more applied aspects within string phenomenology, and in string theory more generally. Any string theoretic setup aiming at addressing phenomenological issues, both in particle physics and in cosmology, has to address supersymmetry breaking. On the other hand, supersymmetry is so deeply rooted in string theory that it is difficult to break it without spoiling many desirable features, or at least without losing analytical control. For instance, stability of non-supersymmetric solutions or frameworks in string theory is often an unresolved issue.
This workshop is aimed at bringing together experts in the field, to discuss the current status of supersymmetry breaking in string theory and future directions of the field. There will be morning sessions with overview talks and a discussion session. The afternoons are reserved for individual discussions as well as shorter talks on more specialised subjects.

Black Holes and Quantum Information
The Weizmann Institute of Science Rehovot, Israel
EventBlack Holes and Quantum InformationLocation The Weizmann Institute of Science Rehovot, Israel January 12, 2014 - January 17, 2014 Understanding quantum aspects of black holes has been a driving problem in theoretical physics for the last 40 years, and has led to a deeper understanding of gravity. At the same time, some fundamental problems remain unanswered such as the fate of the infalling observer. The workshop will cover recent progress in black hole physics, and in particular the usage of quantum information theory. The workshop follows the Jerusalem winter school on quantum information.
