XXII International Meeting
Physical Interpretations of Relativity Theory – 2021
Monday 5th July – Friday 9th July 2021
Dear Colleague,
On behalf of the Conference Committee PIRT-2021 we would like to formally invite you to participate at the Physical Interpretations of Relativity Theory conference this year in the Bauman University, Moscow during the period July 5th to 9th, 2021.
The meeting of the PIRT-2021 conference will be held in the Great Hall, which will allow you to make a presentation both remotely and in person, in compliance with sanitary and epidemiological requirements. All reports are accompanied by simultaneous translation.
The PIRT Conference is an international scientific event that originated in 1988 and was first held at Imperial College in London once every two years, and since 2003 it has been held at Bauman University in Moscow. The main objectives of the conference are to discuss the physical, geometric, and mathematical interpretation of the theory of relativity, its experimental verification and discussion of alternative theories of gravity, optical methods for detecting gravitational waves, new effects of moving-media optics and relativistic electrodynamics, as well as astrophysical observations and space experiments. The XXIth PIRT-2019 conference was held at a high international scientific level. 138 scientists from 14 countries attended the conference, including 36 foreign participants. Well- known scientists, such as Prof. Louis Hirsch Kauffman, Prof. Innocenzo M. Pinto, Prof. Bivudutta Mishra, Prof. Vladislav Pustovoit, and others gave their plenary presentations. The conference also received grants from the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and The Optical Society (OSA). There is more information on the website http://www.pirt.info/?lang=eng .
The Conference Program of the PIRT-2021 will include papers dealing with the following major themes:
Gravitation, cosmology and large-scale structure
Gravitational waves and experimental tests of the relativity theory
Relativistic electrodynamics
High energy astrophysics
Modern problems of classical and quantum field theory
This is not an exhaustive list, and colleagues wishing to submit papers dealing with different subjects should send an outline of their proposed presentation to the organizers of the conference.
