ANALOGUE GRAVITY
Villa Olmo, Como, Italy, 16-21 May 2011 PROGRAM
Our knowledge of the world that surrounds us is characterized by a strong division into sectors, and Physics is no exception. Yet, remarkably, this knowledge is also streaked by "fils rouges" that connect apparently unrelated phenomena. This allows us to understand and study the physics of one area using "analogue" systems that are connected by a unifying physical concept. Analogue gravity is the study of certain aspects of gravitational interactions, most notably Hawking radiation emitted from black holes, as predicted more than 35 years ago by S. Hawking. Since the first studies initiated by W. Unruh in the early eighties, black hole and horizon analogues have been identified in a number of systems ranging from flowing fluids to flowing dielectrics. The field has made great progress in the past years and the first experimental results are now maturing. The school will give a general overview of the field of Analogue Gravity, of its main and most recent achievements and will propose new challenges and open questions that are looking for answers.

Those who want to submit a communication proposal should send a short abstract to grschool@centrovolta.it Proponents will be informed about acceptance of their contribution in due time. Registration Participants will be accommodated in a B & B near Villa Olmo and will be requested to pay an inclusive fee of EURO 700 covering accommodation (in rooms to be shared with other participants), breakfast and lunch for the duration of the school. Alternatively, participants may arrange for their own accommodation and are requested to pay only the registration fee of EURO 320, also covering lunch (the school secretary provides assistance for hotel reservation through the accommodation form available at www.centrovolta.it/sigrav2011/). Accommodation is not guaranteed after April 8th 2011. Some support to cover local expenses may be available; those who need support should mention it in their registration and send a short curriculum vitae and a summary of current research (maximum two pages A4). Please note that no support to cover travel expenses will be available. Registration forms are available on the web page http://www.centrovolta.it/sigrav2011/ or at grschool@centrovolta.it For information also contact directly the Organizing Secretariat at Centro A.Volta: grschool@centrovolta.it or mariagiovanna.falasconi@centrovolta.it, tel. +39 031 579814, fax +39 031 573395 Further information about the School (course abstracts, schedule of lectures, etc.) is also available at the web page http://www.centrovolta.it/sigrav2011/
