10th IBS/IFT workshop: Dark World to the Swampland
The IBS-IFT Workshop is a regular event organized jointly by IFT and IBS-CTPU, this year reaching its tenth anniversary.
The aim of the workshop is share ideas, foster collaborations, and to discuss recent developments in theoretical physics.
The event is organized over two weeks. The first week, November 4-7, will focus on String Phenomenology
The Center for Theoretical Physics of the Universe is one of the 30 centers of the Institute of Basic Science in South Korea. The IBS-CTPU carries out research on particle physics and cosmology, which aims to understand nature at the most fundamental level and answer the big questions about the origin of the universe.
The Institute for Theoretical Physics IFT UAM-CSIC is a joint research center belonging to the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM). It is the only Spanish center dedicated entirely to research in Theoretical Physics. The IFT members develop research in the frontiers of Elementary Particle Physics, Astroparticles, and Cosmology, in order to understand the fundamental keys of Nature and the Universe.
With this workshop we want to try to advance our understanding of quantum gravity, mainly through the swampland program, by refining several of the conjectures that have been put forth in the program to bridge the gap between effective field theories and the UV completion as quantum gravity.
