The microscopic description of black holes has been a challenge for more that forty years.  There are now quite a number of promising approaches to solving this problem and the primary goal of this conference and workshop is to bring together experts in these areas to identify synergies, engage in constructive criticism and resolve apparent conflicts.  A significant focus will be the dynamics of black-hole microstructure: how infalling matter is scrambled and how information is recovered.

The conference will have four talks a day.  Monday, June 6 is a holiday in France and so the talks will be held on Zoom. 

The talks on Tuesday - Friday will be "in-person" at the IPhT, Saclay and they will be broadcast via Zoom.

There will be a panel discussion on Wednesday, and other discussions during the workshop.

The workshop will be smaller, less intense  and focus on particular and more technical issues associated with black-hole microstructure.

09:50 Welcome

1 Fuzzballs and Horizon-scale Microstructure: From Theory to Observations

Orateur: Daniel Mayerson

11:00 Break

2 Black holes?

Abstract: One of the most remarkable possibilities of General Relativity concerns gravitational collapse to black holes, leaving behind a geometry with light rings, ergoregions and horizons. These peculiarities are responsible for uniqueness properties and energy extraction mechanisms that turn black holes into ideal laboratories of strong gravity, of particle physics (yes!) and of possible quantum-gravity effects.
I will discuss some of the latest progress in testing the black-hole nature of compact objects.
