Friedmann.10 — Tenth Alexander Friedmann International Seminar on Gravitation and Cosmology and Fourth Symposium on the Casimir Effect
The Tenth Alexander Friedmann International Seminar on Gravitation and Cosmology and Fourth Symposium on the Casimir Effect to be held from June 23, 2019 (date of arrival) to June 29, 2019 (date of departure) at Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The objective of the meeting is to promote contacts between scientists working in the field of Relativity, Gravitation and Cosmology and related fields. It is well known that the important role in Gravitation and Cosmology is played by the Casimir effect. To underline this, special Symposia devoted to this effect have been included in the Programs of the 7th, 8th, and 9th Friedmann Seminars. The Casimir effect is a multidisciplinary subject. Its applications extend from gravitation and cosmology to the van der Waals forces, materials properties, precise measurements and nanotechnology.
The main topics to be discussed at the tenth Friedmann Seminar and the fourth Casimir Symposium are the following:
- Classical gravity
- Theoretical Astrophysics
- Quantum gravity
- Geometrical aspects of gravitational theory
- Observational and theoretical cosmology
- Quantum effects in curved space-time
- Gravitational theory with extra dimensions
- Casimir effect in cosmology and at a laboratory table
- including materials properties, precise measurements, field-matter interaction, and applications to nanotechnology
