The International
Workshop ISM04 is
the second in a series of biennial Indian
Strings Meeting,
the first of which was held at the Harish-Chandra Research Institute,
Allahabad, in December 2002. These meetings are jointly organized by
the Indian string theory community. The
objective of these meetings is to have a gathering of young researchers
and experts in String Theory and related areas in an atmosphere which
stimulates expression and elaboration of new ideas. The academic plan
is to have a few broad review talks, in addition to seminars, followed
by several focussed discussion sessions.
The emphasis of ISM04, the Workshop
at Khajuraho, to be held during 15-23 December
2004, will be on (i) gauge theory/string theory duality,
(ii) string
compactifications with reduced supersymmetry, (iii) string field theory
and time-dependent tachyon, (iv) D-branes in curved spaces and BCFT and
(v) application of string theory to cosmology.
