EFTs, Gravity, and Fluid Dynamics: Progress, Challenges, and Emerging Opportunities Workshop

“EFTs, Gravity, and Fluid Dynamics: Progress, Challenges, and Emerging Opportunities Workshop” is an event sponsored by the Physics Department of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and The Gravity Theory Trust, taking place in Urbana, Illinois on December 16 – 18, 2024 in room 190 of the Engineering Sciences Building.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together experts in Effective Field Theory (EFT), gravity, and fluid dynamics to foster interdisciplinary collaborations.

Sample topics interfacing EFTs, gravity, and fluid dynamics include:

New insights in gravitational thermodynamics and gravitational EFTs.

Causality constraints on gravitational and hydrodynamic EFTs.

The fluid-gravity correspondence.

Mathematical aspects of well-posed formulations of non-ideal fluid dynamics in general relativity.

There is no registration fee but registration is required. The deadline for registration is October 31, 2024.
