| Conformal gravity holography in four dimensions |
| Speaker: | Maria Irakleidou (Vienna University of Technology) |
| Abstract: | We formulate four-dimensional conformal gravity with (Anti-)de Sitter boundary conditions that are weaker than Starobinsky boundary conditions, allowing for an asymptotically subleading Rindler term concurrent with a recent model for gravity at large distances. We prove the consistency of the variational principle and derive the holographic response functions. One of them is the conformal gravity version of the Brown-York stress tensor, the other is a `partially massless response'. The on-shell action and response functions are finite and do not require holographic renormalization. Finally, we discuss phenomenologically interesting examples, including the most general spherically symmetric solutions and rotating black hole solutions with partially massless hair. |

| How to publish your work in the Physical Review |
| Speaker: | Dr. Thomas Pattard (APS Editorial Office, Ridge, NY) |
| Abstract: | In this talk, I will try to give some insight into the publishing process from the
perspective of an editor. I will give a short overview of APS publishing, and the workflow
associated with the handling of a typical manuscript. This will lead us to the question of
what we are looking for in a paper / referee report / cover letter, and how the
communication between all involved parties can be improved. In the last few minutes of the
talk, I will briefly discuss various recent APS initiatives. |

| Locally covariant field theory and the Hadamard parametrix |
| Speaker: | Jochen Zahn (University of Vienna, Physics) |
| Abstract: | I give an introduction to locally covariant field theory, a framework for
quantum field theory on curved spacetimes. I highlight the role of the Hadamard
parametrix in defining nonlinear observables, such as the stress-energy tensor or
the current density. Some physically relevant information can be extracted from
this object, such as anomalies or the nontrivial scaling behavior of observables
(related to the renormalization group flow). Connections to microlocal analysis
and index theory will be discussed, albeit rather superficially. |
