Announcement
The 22nd Pacific Coast Gravity Meeting will be held at the Kavli
Institute
for
Theoretical Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara, on
March 3 and 4, 2006. In the tradition of the Pacific Coast Gravity
Meetings,
this will be an open meeting. All interested researchers and students
in
all areas of gravitational physics---classical and quantum, theory and
experiment---are invited. Graduate students and postdocs are especially
encouraged to attend. We would like this meeting to serve as a
communication
medium among all branches of gravitational physics. We particularly
encourage
participants from the quantum gravity, string theory, experimental
gravity,
and astrophysics communities. Because this is a regional meeting, many
participants will be from the Western United States, but all are
welcome.
Participants and Talks
The meeting will follow the standard, very informal, format of previous
PCGMs. All talks will be 10 minutes long, plus 2 minutes for questions.
There will be no proceedings. Transparencies and
audio
of the talks will be made available online. Here is the list of participants and talks.
Schedule
Here is the schedule of talks for the
meeting.
Lodging
A block of rooms has been set aside at the nearby Best
Western South Coast Inn at the KITP rate of $103 per night (plus
tax).
Please contact the hotel directly to make reservations (1-805-967-3200
or 1-800-350-3614 );
don't forget to mention the conference (PCGM) when calling. The rooms
will
be held at the special rate until February 2nd. The KITP
Visitor's Page lists alternative accommodations, as well as
directions
to the KITP and information on what to wear. (The PCGM is not an
"official"
KITP event, however, so please do not contact KITP staff; send
all inquiries to David Mateos, or directly to the hotel.)
Here is a map of the Santa Barbara area,
with
the locations of the KITP and Best Western marked. In addition, there
is
a more detailed map of the area surrounding
the
University (the KITP is near the East gate), and a campus
map (the KITP is located in Kohn Hall).
GGR Prize
A prize will be awarded for the best talk by a student at the
meeting.
