Reaching a Century:

Classical and Modified General Relativity’s Attempts to explain the evolution of the Universe.

A CENTURY OF THE EINSTEIN’s THEORY OF GRAVITATION

The Gravitation and Mathematical Physics Division (DGFM) of the Mexican Physical Society (SMF) is glad to announce the celebration of its X Mexican School. As in previous ones, our main goal is to provide an inviting arena for exchanging and discussion on top developments in gravitational physics in a pedagogical manner. Apart from researchers, an important number of postdocs and graduate students take part in our School, which in this occasion will be focused on the discussion of classical and modified general relativity.

The scientific program will include five courses and four plenary talks, and there will also be time for about 40 parallel talks.

LECTURE COURSES
• Gravity: newtonian, post-newtonian and relativistic, Clifford Will.
• The cosmological constant problem, Antonio Padilla
• Neutron stars, Dany Page
• Testing gravity at cosmological scales, Ignacy Sawiki
• Modified Gravity and its Predictions. Andrew Tolley

PLENARY TALKS
• Inhomogeneous Cosmology, Roberto Sussman
• Supernova Data an the accelerating cosmos, Robert P. Kirshner

The venue will be the Hotel Iberostar located in Playa del Carmen, Rivera Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico, an inspiring place offering cultural features and natural beauty at the Caribbean coast, in a region where a number of Maya cities once flourished.

Arrival Information
Cancun in the nearest international airport. From there we suggest to take an authorized airport taxi. It’s a 45 minute ride to Playa del Carmen and will cost around 65 usd. Otherwise, there are available buses for 10 usd.
