New Foundations for Quantum Statistical Mechanics
Dorje Brody - Imperial College London
A new microcanonical equilibrium state is introduced for quantum systems with finite-dimensional state spaces. Equilibrium is characterised by a uniform distribution on a level surface of the expectation value of the Hamiltonian. The distinguishing feature of the proposed equilibrium state is that…
3d ADS/CFT from a quantum gravity point of view.

Partition Functions of Three Dimensional Gravity
Alexander Maloney - McGill University
We consider pure three dimensional quantum gravity with a negative cosmological constant. The torus partition function can be computed exactly as a sum over geometries, including all known quantum corrections. The answer provides important clues about the structure of quantum gravity; in particular…
A perspective on Quantum Gravity Phenomenology
Giovanni Amelino-Camelia - University of Naples Federico II
I discuss the status of Quantum Gravity Phenomenology, focusing separately on the 3 key areas: ability to discover, ability to constrain, and ability to falsify. And I stress the importance of adopting carefully taylored test theories as a remedy to difficulties encountered when comparing…
New physics from inflation
Ulf Danielsson - Uppsala University
I discuss how physics beyond the Planck scale and before inflation might leave an imprint on the primordial spectrum. There are interesting limitations connected with the information paradox that suggests unexpected new ways to test ideas on quantum gravity.
Imprinting Short-Distance Physics on Long Distance Observables: Can this be consistent?
Richard Holman - Minerva University
We use the example of inflationary physics to discuss the possibility that short distance physics might be imprinted on long-distance observables. In particular, we focus on issues involving decoupling in field theory.
What if Quantum Thermodynamics were a fundamental extension of Quantum Mechanics?
gian paolo beretta - University of Brescia
What if the second law of thermodynamics, in the hierarchy of physical laws, were at the same level as the fundamental laws of mechanics, such as the great conservation principles? What if entropy were an intrinsic property of matter at the same level as energy is universally understood to be? What…
