Nonlinear Cosmology Program 2006 @ Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur

Nonlinear Cosmology Workshop

Nice, January 25–27, 2006


Current program of the meeting:

All talks will last 35 min plus about 3 min short discussion and about 2 min for switching computer/video equipment.

The content of the discussion sessions will be defined by an iterative process, in which all participants have a chance to suggest topics. Some suggestions have already been made, mostly by Jim Peebles (as indicated in brackets). More on discussion sessions here.
