Fundamental Physics UK 4th Annual Workshop

在过去的几年里，基础物理学的研究人员从世界各地大量涌入英国。这项提议的目的是为基础物理的三个主要领域：弦理论、引力和量子场论之间的交叉受精提供一个刺激的环境。2007年11月、2008年11月和2009年11月的前三次会议分别在伦敦国王学院和剑桥大学三一学院举行。这些会议被广泛认为是成功的，我们认为，现在为这些会议建立了一个牢固的传统。这些会议的总体目标将是创造动态和非正式的研究环境，所有英国研究人员都将从中受益。因此，我们希望在此基础上，于2011年2月再次在剑桥市三一学院组织第四次会议，以便围绕选定的一些会谈进行大量互动。讲座的目的将是为当前的“热门”研究课题提供一个教学大纲。然而，也将有大量的非正式讨论，包括以会谈为中心的积极讨论以及私下讨论的时间。

Over the past few years there has been a large inflow of researchers in fundamental physics from across the world into the UK. The aim of the proposal is to provide a stimulating environment for cross fertilization between the three main areas of fundamental physics: string theory, gravity and quantum field theory. The previous FPUK meetings, in November 2007, 2008 and 2009, were held at King's College London and Trinity College Cambridge. These were widely regarded to be a success and we believe that there is now a strong tradition established for these meetings. The overall aim of these meetings will be to create dynamic and informal research environment from which all UK researchers will benefit. Therefore we wish to build on this and organize a fourth meeting in February 2011, again in Trinity College, Cambridge.The meeting will be organized to allow for a good deal of interaction surrounding a selected number of talks. The aim of the talks will be to provide a pedagogical synopsis of the current 'hot' research topics. However there will also be significant periods of informal discussion, including both an active discussion centered on the talks as well as time for private discussions.
