The first British Gravity Meeting was held at the University of Southampton, UK, on 27/28 March. 47 10-minute plenary talks were given. Here are the abstracts in the order given. A brief conference report will also appear in Matters of…
The plenary presentations of the conference are summarised, highlighting some aspects that were of particular interest and attempting to link a few of the topics covered. Particular emphasis is placed on the problem of deep-inelastic…
This talk reviews progress reported at Quark-Matter 2001 on various theoretical aspects of the quark-gluon plasma and discusses how the new results obtained at RHIC change the standard picture of ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus…
This is an introduction to the group field theory approach to quantum gravity, with emphasis on motivations and basic formalism, more than on recent results; we elaborate on the various ingredients, both conceptual and formal, of the…
This volume contains the proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Quantum Physics and Logic (QPL 2017), which was held June 10-14, 2019. Quantum Physics and Logic is an annual conference that brings together researchers working…
These are notes from a 15 week course aimed at graduate mathematicians. They provide an essentially self-contained introduction to some of the ideas and terminology of QFT.
The superluminal X-ray transient source GRS 1915+105 was observed during July 20-29, 1996 with the Indian X-ray Astronomy Experiment (IXAE) on the Indian satellite IRS-P3 launched on March 21, 1996 from Shriharikota Range in India. During…
In summer 1999 an experiment at ILL, Grenoble was conducted. So-called ultra-cold neutrons (UCN) were trapped in the vertical direction between the Fermi-potential of a smooth mirror below and the gravitational potential of the earth above…

In this review, I show a personal overview of theoretical results shown in the International Conference on the Initial Stages in High-Energy Nuclear Collision, in Illa da Toxa, Galicia, Spain, Sept.~8-14, 2013.
This contribution follows the talk, given by F. Delduc at the conference SQS'2011 in Dubna, Russia (July 18-23, 2011). To a considerable extent it is a summary of known facts about the links between geometry and extended supersymmetry in…
These are some thoughts contained in a letter to colleagues, about the close relation between gravity and quantum mechanics, and also about the possibility of seeing quantum gravity in a lab equipped with quantum computers. I expect this…
This is a written, expanded version of the summary talk given at the conclusion of the ICGC-2004 held at Cochin. Brief introductory remarks are included to provide a slightly wider context to the theme talks.
This review is based on lectures given at the 1992 Trieste Spring School on String Theory and Quantum Gravity and at the 1992 TASI Summer School in Boulder, Colorado.
This volume contains the proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Quantum Physics and Logic (QPL 2020), which was held June 2-6, 2020. Quantum Physics and Logic is an annual conference that brings together researchers working on…
This writeup summarises some of the highlights from the 2015 Rencontres de Blois, with a compression ratio of about 100:1 relative to the original presentations.
An extended text of the talk given at the conference ``2001: A Spacetime Odyssey'', to be published in the Proceedings of the Inaugural Conference of the Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, 21-25 May…
This pre-print contains the abstracts of seminars (including key references) presented at the ESI workshop on mathematical problems in quantum gravity held during July and August of 1996. Contributors include A. Ashtekar, J. Baez, F.…
Numerical Relativity is concerned with solving the Einstein equations, as well as any field or matter equations on curved space-time, by means of computer calculations. The methods developed for this purpose up to now, as well as the…
I will summarise the new theory developments that emerged during the 2015 QCD Moriond conference. I will give my perspective on some of the topics and emphasise what I consider most relevant.
