Conclusion Strings Geneva Geneva

So, now I'm back from Geneva back in his native plains. The Strings 2008 are gone and everyday life will begin again. Actually, I now wanted to present the pictures from the visit of the United Nations, but somehow does not want to insert work so well. I will try it tomorrow then sometimes another computer ...

Well, what a conclusion can be drawn from the conference? A revolutionary breakthrough was not presented. But still some remarkable progress:

* It is growing evidence that N = 8 Supergravity in 11 dimensions has no perturbative UV divergences. A still mysterious mechanism seems to be at work, which eliminates these infinities. With the existing supersymmetry can not seem to explain be. If confirmed, they would have finally found a renormalizable theory of quantum gravity. Sorry, but it has little to do with reality. Can provide, perhaps an indication of realistic theories.

* Low Ads5/CFT4 AdS4/CFT3 seems another example of an integrable system to be.

* The planar limit of Ad5/CFT_4 correspondence seems on the verge of a solution. It is fascinating to see how a test delivers to the other for confirmation. The Konishi operator is now up to 4.Loopordnung calculated correctly on both sides were. The summation of an infinite series is absolutely wrong on the string side provides a single integer coincides with the already known result of the gauge theory calculation. Most remarkable!

* Everyone is waiting anxiously to finally the LHC is switched on Sep 10. With papers on the first measurement results can be expected in the middle of next year. Whether the Higgs particle was found, but probably will not be known for another two to three years. Until enough statistics and luminosity for an evaluation is available.

is built here some pics from Geneva and CERN

This gigantic globe made entirely of wood in front of the reception of the CERN on the other side. According to my research, it was a gift of Switzerland to the 50th anniversary of CERN. Women will now Ausstellungsäume are



From the reception to the auditorium where the talks take place, must overcome a maze of corridors. Luckily, there are so ne Art Ariadne's thread as a black stripe on the floor, where you must follow:


If this is not sufficient, this cute little guy on the right track shows



On the next screen is not a lunar module to see, but an old bubble chamber with the sub-atomic particles were detected:



Here's another object that can be found in the park:


As a foretaste of the visit of the United Nations yesterday, a picture of the back entrance:



Yes, yes, this is only the facade of the back entrance of the Palace of Nations ". The front and much more is available from the 2nd part ...

Inexpensive Professional Camcorder

I'm sitting in a DVD video library with Internetvebindung in the center of Geneva. Since the store closes in a quarter of an hour, I can not tell that much. Therefore, only a telegraphic style.
Bin yesterday afternoon the train arrived. This morning, then the Strings 2008 conference began with initial presentations.
the evening was a visit to the United Nations. The security measures are as high as at an airport, if you want to be left in there. I hope tomorrow's a few pictures I've shot to upload.

Last week I got a new preprint paper posted online, though I'm still awaiting my final in Physics journal is published. A physicist from Italy has reported then mail me. It belongs to the group, their numerical results, I'm comparing my article with my bills. He wants to send me a C source code of their program, so that I can do myself further comparisons of the two methods. I'm not sure if I could do something with the program because I found the theoretical background to Method not get it.

came yesterday then the mail of the professors from Texas. The grant funding from the university to my planned stay there is scholarship. Now I can finally get down to me to apply this commitment to the appropriate foundation. A Regular Postdoc position have now also posted. Then I apply even if it is not the scholarship works.

Yes, and also is next week at the Strings 2008 conference at CERN in Geneva, to which I nearly nine hours on Sunday will be traveling by train. Since it was only 15 € more expensive, I then also posted the 1st class. The new Superteilchenbeschleuniger yes there is only switched on Sep 10, so I can rest easy and have nothing to fear that a black hole swallowed me * g *
