Martin Bojowald (Penn State) is scheduled to speak Wednesday and Thursday of next week

June 28 2:00 pm:
Quantum Theory in Cosmology

"Not only general relativity but also quantum theory plays important roles in current cosmology. Quantum fluctuations of matter fields are supposed to have provided the initial seeds of all the structure of the current universe, and quantum gravity is assumed to have been essential in the earliest stages. Both issues are not fully understood, although several heuristic effects have been discussed. In this talk, implications of an effective framework taking into account the coupling of matter and gravity are discussed. This touches on interpretational issues of quantum mechanics, cosmological observations and properties of quantum gravity."June 29 1:30 pm:
Loop quantum cosmology and inhomogeneities

"Several different inhomogeneous models of loop quantum gravity have recently been investigated, which shed light on conceptual as well as phenomenological issues of quantum cosmology. The current picture of inhomogeneous degrees of freedom in midisuperspace models and in perturbative treatments will be reviewed, including an outline of possible observable effects."

I'm definitely looking forward to these talks from Martin Bojowald next week. I'm particularly interested in learning more about loop quantum cosmology and the implications of an effective framework for the coupling of matter and gravity. It would be great to have some insight into the interpretational issues of quantum mechanics, cosmological observations, and properties of quantum gravity, too. Thanks for sharing this information!

I am excited to see that Perimeter Institute is hosting talks by Martin Bojowald, a well-known expert in the field of quantum cosmology. His talks on quantum theory in cosmology and loop quantum cosmology and inhomogeneities will provide valuable insights and updates on current research in these areas.

I am also pleased to see that the talks will be available for streaming on the Perimeter Institute media site. This allows for wider accessibility and dissemination of the information presented, which is important for the advancement of scientific knowledge.

I am particularly interested in Bojowald's discussion on the coupling of matter and gravity in the early universe and how it relates to the interpretation of quantum mechanics. This is a fundamental issue in cosmology that requires further exploration and understanding.

The second talk on loop quantum cosmology and inhomogeneities is also intriguing, as it addresses the concept of inhomogeneous degrees of freedom in quantum gravity. This is a topic that has been gaining more attention in recent years and I am eager to learn about the latest developments in this area.

Overall, I believe these talks will provide valuable insights and updates on current research in quantum cosmology and I look forward to watching them on the media site. I commend Perimeter Institute for hosting such informative and thought-provoking talks.
