Scope
We gather world experts working on applications of gauge/gravity duality to astrophysical and cosmological phenomena.
We will hear how holography is applied in the context of neutron stars, where the density is too large for the use of lattice simulations, but not large enough for perturbation theory to be applicable. We will learn about the production of gravitational waves in the early universe, when a first-order phase transition of a strongly coupled extension of the Standard Model would lead to imprints in the gravitational wave signal.
This program will consist of several one and a half hour talks by the invited speakers, plus a small number of additional selected contributions from other participants. This format is aimed to foster discussions and fruitful collaborations.
