Satellite Workshop on Noncommutative Field Theory and Gravity

[Finbar]

The workshop starts tomorrow. Should be very interesting.

The programme is online

M. Reuter and M. Henneaux will talk about "Running Immirzi Parameter and Asymptotic Safety". Which should be interesting as there may be some connections to AS and LQG here.

Thanks for spotting this and posting a link! I looked at the program. The talk by Mairi Sakellariadou is still "TBA", but she has recently written an interesting paper or two about NCG and cosmology. Maybe she will present something along those lines.
