November 30 to December 2 in Paris (France)

A multidisciplinary meeting mathematics/physics/philosophy

CATEGORIES and PHYSICS 2011

The aim of this workshop is to explore in which extent the theory of categories can help to solve the difficulties of theoretical physics; to progress towards new theories; to gain a better understanding of nature. Among the difficulties, we emphasize the mathematical formulations of quantum physics and its interpretations; the problems issued by divergences and singularities; the relational character of physics (expressed by background independence, covariance,…); the quest for an unified theory; the quantization of gravity…

All those questions imply new visions of the nature and may be addressed in the categorical framework; hopefully in a way also relevant for unification of physics and quantum gravity… Categories provide new approaches to geometry, relations between physics, geometry and logic… : cobordisms, causal sets,… for space-time ; more generally, topoi, model categories (Quillen), synthetic differential geometry (Kock et Lawvere), diffeology…

Topics for the workshop :

Categorical views of quantum physics

New approaches to geometry; its relations with algebra and logic…

Quantum gravity

Epistemologic implications of categories

1st DECEMBER 2011

IHES Burre sur Yvette Greater Paris  16:45 hrs.

IHES Seminar in Theoretical and Experimental Approaches to Gravitation Series

 Carlo ROVELLI (CPT, Marseille ).

 Amphithéatre Léon Motchane ( IHÉS )

 Theme: Gravitation

Résumé:   Loop Quantum Gravity has much developed in last few years. I review the present state of the theory, focusing on the following issues: the precise definition of the covariant theory, the relation with the old canonical LQG (and the separability of the Hilbert space), the finiteness of the transition amplitudes, the classical limit and the computation of the n-point functions, and the distinction between the theorems proved and the open hopes.
