REDUCTION AND EMERGENCE IN PHYSICS

Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy & Center for Advanced Studies at
LMU Munich

21-22 June 2013

*********************************************

The aim of the workshop is to bring together physicists and philosophers of
physics for a meeting focused on fundamental issues in physics relating to
reduction and emergence. Participants will include researchers with
expertise in string theory, statistical physics, condensed matter physics,
and renormalisation. The workshop will combine consideration of issues in
contemporary physics research with discussion of longstanding philosophical
questions, such as the nature of scientific explanations and the
relationship between different systems of physical laws.

The workshop will be held in Munich over two days (21-22 June) and will
feature talks by researchers with a wide range of expertise. Submission of
contributed papers are welcomed from researchers with interests in
emergence and reduction in physics. We invite submissions of an abstract of
1000 words by 15th April 2013. Only PDF files are accepted. We anticipate
there will be space for between two and four contributed talks. To submit
please send the file to Karim.Thebault at lrz.uni-muenchen.de.
