Participation of US graduate students and postdocs in the school on quantum gravity in Zakopane, Poland.

OISE 11- 043444 jorge pullin路易斯安那州立大学M学院该项目为3名美国博士后和7名美国研究生提供支持，参加在波兰Zakopane举行的为期两周的school on Quantum Gravity课程（2月28日）。2011年3月12日)。该学院将在欧洲科学基金会的框架内举办。量子几何和量子引力研究网络。波兰的组织者是来自华沙大学的耶日·莱万多夫斯基教授。学校的目的是为学生介绍网络的主要研究课题，即：环量子引力，自旋泡沫模型，动态三角，矩阵模型，以及非交换几何和量子群在量子引力中的应用。该校教授的大部分课程都不是美国大学教授的。在这所学校就读，将成为培养该领域新一代美国研究人员的重要事件。该项目实现了为美国初级研究人员和学生提供全球视野和独特专业知识的项目目标。

OISE 11-04344Jorge PullinLouisiana State University & A&M CollegeThis project provides support for a 3 US postdocs and 7 US graduate students to participate in a two-week school on School on Quantum Gravity in Zakopane, Poland (February 28 ? March 12, 2011). The school will be held within the framework of the European Science Foundation?s research network on Quantum Geometry and Quantum Gravity. The Polish organizer is Professor Jerzy Lewandowski from the University of Warsaw.The aim of the school is to provide the students with an introduction to the main research topics of the network, namely: loop quantum gravity, spin foam models, dynamical triangulations, matrix models, and the application of non-commutative geometry and quantum groups to quantum gravity.Most of the courses taught at the school are not taught at US universities. Attendance at this school will be a formative event in the preparation of a new generation of US researchers in the field. This project fulfills the program objectives of providing US junior researchers and students with a global perspective and access to unique expertise.
