Aspects of Horava gravity for string theorists

by Diego Blas

Monday 13 May 2013, 14:00 → 15:00 Europe/Zurich

4/2-011 - TH common room (CERN)

In this talk I'll try to summarise the current status of Horava gravity as a theory of quantum gravity. After describing the set-up, I'll focus on the achievements so far, and on the current challenges (together with suggested ways to address them).
