International Loop Quantum Gravity Seminar

This is a seminar on research that takes place every Tuesday at 9am (US Central Time). Slides of the talks are posted in advance here. Talks are recorded and the audio posted here. Among the groups that participate live are PennState, Perimeter Institute, Marseille, AEI-Potsdam, Utrecht, UNAM-Mexico, FUW-Poland, CSIC-Madrid, UDELAR, Uruguay, UWO-Canada, UNB-Canada, Umass Dartmouth, Hamilton College, IISER Kolkata-India, Friedrich-Alexander-University (FAU) Erlangen-Nuremberg, Florida Atlantic University, University of Minho, Bard College, Wroclaw University, Yor k University and LSU. If your group wishes to participate, please write to pullin at lsu.edu. Locally at LSU, we listen to the talks in 241 Nicholson Hall. You are welcome to join the mailing list.

The seminar is coordinated by Jorge Pullin, LSU. Advisory committee: Jonathan Engle (Florida Atlantic U), Kristina Giesel (FAU Erlangen), Etera Livine (ENS Lyon), Parampreet Singh (LSU). Previous members: Bianca Dittrich (Perimeter Institute), Simone Speziale (Univ. Aix Marseille).
