Description

This workshop will celebrate the career and research accomplishments of Lance Dixon, whose decisive impact has been felt across many areas of theoretical physics. The event will involve three days of talks from some of Lance's long-time collaborators, including:

Babis Anastasiou
Nima Arkani-Hamed
Benjamin Basso
Zvi Bern
Ruth Britto
John Joseph Carrasco
Fernando Febres Cordero
James M. Drummond
Vittorio Del Duca
David Dunbar
Paul Ginsparg
Jeffrey Harvey
David A. Kosower
Lorenzo Magnea
Anthony Morales
Ian Moult
Maxim Perelstein
Frank Petriello
Radu Roiban
Gavin Salam
Matthias Staudacher
Jaroslav Trnka
Anastasia Volovich

Lance himself will also give a colloquium on Friday afternoon.ย 

In addition to talks, there will be a dinner at 19:30 on Thursday evening at Amber Restaurant on the Royal Mile (354 Castlehill, Edinburgh EH1 2NE)---for directions, see the Indico menu above. (Space for the dinner is limited due to fire restrictions, so we apologize that only invited workshop participants will be able to attend.)ย 

Finally, anyone who is still around on Saturday morning is welcome to join us for a hike up Arthur's seat. We plan to meet at the Holyrood Car Park at 10:30.ย
