The school will take place at ECT*, the European Center for Theoretical Studies in Nuclear Physics and Related Areas, in Trento, Italy, from Feb. 27 - March 10, 2006. The program is interdisciplinary and focuses on recent Renormalization Group and Effective Field Theory applications to atomic, condensed matter, nuclear and high-energy many-body systems.

The final program is now available.

We have lined up a program with excellent lecturers:

Jean-Paul Blaizot (ECT* & CNRS) -
Exact RG approach to Bose-Einstein condensation 1
Bertrand Delamotte (Paris) -
Exact RG approach to frustrated systems 1 2
Bengt Friman (GSI) -
RG approach to nucleonic matter 1
Richard Furnstahl (Ohio State U.) -
EFT and density functional theory 1 2 3 4
Holger Gies (Heidelberg) -
Introduction to the exact RG and applications to gauge theories 1
Peter Lepage (Cornell) -
Introduction to EFT and RG 1 2 3 4 5
Walter Metzner (MPI Stuttgart) -
Functional RG approach to low-dimensional Fermi systems 1 2 3 4
Andreas Nogga (Juelich) -
EFT for nuclear forces 1 2 3
Thomas Schaefer (NC State) -
EFT for cold atoms and high-density QCD 1 2 3 4
Ramamurti Shankar (Yale) -
RG approach to interacting Fermi systems 1

Participant talks:

Jens Braun (Heidelberg) -
The phase boundary of QCD at finite T and flavor number from the functional RG PDF
Sebastian Diehl (Heidelberg) -
Universality in the BCS-BEC crossover in cold fermion systems PDF
Joaquin Drut (U. Washington) -
Dilute Fermi gases in the BCS-BEC crossover PDF
Eiji Nakano (National Taiwan U.) -
Shear viscocity of a pionic gas PDF


This school is aimed at graduate students and junior researchers, and offers the opportunity to develop contacts across physics at an early stage in their career. The cost of the school is 800 Euros, which will cover full accomodation and meals in Trento for 13 days. In exceptional cases, ECT* will be able to provide partial or full fellowships.

Applications can be sent via the web form. The deadline for applications is Dec. 15, 2005, and selected participants will be informed by the end of this year.

Please direct any questions regarding the school to the organizers.
We very much look forward to seeing you in Trento!

With best wishes,
Achim and Janos
