Discrete Approaches to the Dynamics of Fields and Space-Time


Information

Discrete approaches to space-time have been playing an important role in lattice gauge theory, dynamical triangulation of quantum gravity and other formulations. The various approaches using non-perturbative discrete formulations make numerical calculation possible. We think that discrete approaches will gradually become indispensable, even for a possible new formulation beyond the standard model and for Planck scale physics. Considering the development of non-perturbative formulations of superstring theory and the gauge/gravity correspondence, the discrete approaches to the dynamics of fields and space-time are getting increasingly important. They also become a promising tool in condensed matter physics and quantum information theory.
In this workshop we aim to create a platform for researchers working in the field described above to discuss and exchange ideas for further new developments. As concrete subjects, we discuss: lattice gauge theory, large N gauge theory, lattice supersymmetry, field theories on non-commutative space-time, gauge/gravity correspondence, quantum gravity, matrix models of non-perturbative formulation of string theory, lattice gravity, tensor models, etc. Recent developments in condensed matter physics which are closely related to particle physics will be discussed as well.
This workshop is one of a series of workshops starting in 2010 at YITP, 2012 at RIKEN, 2013 at KEK, 2014 at Keio University, 2015 at the Okayama Instituten of Quantum Physics, 2016 at Shizuoka University and 2017 at APCTP. This workshop is an event within the thematic program "String-Math 2018" of Tohoku Forum of Creativity.
