Short description:

The goal of this Institute is to investigate and discuss a variety of topics relating gravity and information, including information and its localization, soft hair, the question of unitarity in black hole evolution, constraints on information transfer, the mathematical structure of the Hilbert space for gravity, and the role/understanding of holography.

Organizers: R. Bousso (UC Berkeley), S. Giddings (UC Santa Barbara and CERN), A. Gnecchi (CERN)

Attendance will be limited. Unfortunately no funding can be granted except for a small number of invited participants. Talks by invitation only. Applications are expected to be reviewed by late January, 2019.
