 | | Recent years have seen exciting developments both in string theory (M-theory unification, string duality, brane physics, new insights into strongly coupled gauge theories and quantum gravity, etc.) and in other aspects of particle physics and gravity theory(large extra dimensions, warped extra dimensions, localized gravity, brane worlds, novel constructions of four-dimensional string solutions,etc.). |
 | | String theorists, model builders, phenomenologists, gravity theorists, cosmologists, and experimentalists have engaged in a fruitful dialog, and there is a tremendous intellectual vibrancy in the field as a whole. |
 | | The workshop will provide a focused setting to stimulate even more active collaboration and exchange of ideas between theory communities, and to attack the fundamental mysteries of particle physics involving naturalness, hierarchies, flavor, unification, and gravity. |
