The topic of this conference school is General-Relativistic Gauge Field Theory: its mathematical foundations, its first principle conceptual and technical development, state-of-the-art applications, and model building.
The event also features contributed oral contributions by young researchers, each with a maximum duration of 15 minutes (including questions).
Organization: Lucrezia Ravera (Politecnico di Torino, Italy)
Scientific Advisement: Jordan François (University of Graz, Austria)
The Scientific Program includes the following modules (18 hours of lectures in total):
- [Module DG, 4.5h], 3 lectures, by Jordan François (University of Graz, Austria);
- [Module AS, 4.5h], 3 lectures, by T.B.A. ();
- [Module SR, 4.5h], 3 lectures, Lucrezia Ravera (Politecnico di Torino, Italy);
- [Module FA, 4.5h], 3 lectures, by Philipp Berghofer (University of Graz, Austria).
-
Lectures DG
Three lectures on Bundle Differential Geometry (DG) of Gauge Field Theory, to provide the mathematical and geometric tools underpinning classical gauge theories: Ehresmann connection and Yang-Mills Gauge Field Theory, Cartan connection and gauge gravity, twisted connections on field space and anomalies, differential geometry of field space and gauge-fixing.
Detailed program of Module DG: T.B.A.
-
Lectures AS
Three lectures on Asymptotic Symmetries (AS) in General Relativity and applications to gravitational (and electromagnetic) radiation and gravitational waves physics.
Detailed program of Module AS: T.B.A.
-
Lectures SR
Three lectures on Symmetry Reduction (SR) schemes – in particular, the Dressing Field Method (DFM) and its relational interpretation – in General-Relativistic Gauge Field Theory, including state-of-the-art model building and applications (among which, e.g., General Relativity, Supersymmetric Field Theories, etc.).

-
Lectures FA
Three lectures on Foundational Aspects (FA) of General-Relativistic Gauge Field Theory, to allow a clearer understanding of the current state of general-relativistic physics and gauge theories, starting from first principles and conceptual analysis.
