XXVII Bled Workshop "What comes beyond the Standard models"

[Maxim Khlopov]

Dear friends,

We hoped very much that this year, from 8.07.2024–17.07.2024
we shall all meet in Plemelj's house at Bled. We made the
reservation. It is a pity that many of as can attend the workshop
only through ZOOM. But we are glad to have your presentations
and discussions at least in the virtual way.

We ask you kindly to send us the title of your talk and the
abstracts as soon as you can and we shall put them on our
website when they arrive. We also ask you kindly to tell us
whether you will come personally to Bled or only by ZOOM.

As every year, we will put your presentations on the workshop
homepage (http://bsm.fmf.uni-lj.si/bled2024bsm/). As every
year, we plan to publish printed Proceedings with the write-ups
of your talks in December 2024. Our Proceedings has now a
DOI number -- DOI.51746/978961279 2097 (for 2023).

Below you find more instructions.

With our best regards Norma, Holger, Maxim



The first announcement of the twenty-seventh workshop "What Comes
Beyond the Standard Models?", Bled 2024, 8. -- 17. of July 2024.

Organizing Committee:
Norma Susana Mankoc Borstnik, Holger Bech Nielsen, Maxim Yu. Khlopov,
Astri Kleppe

Scientific Committee:
John Ellis (CERN and King's College London),
Roman Jackiw (MIT),
Masao Ninomiya (Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University)

Dear colleague,

This letter is the first announcement of the twenty-seventh workshop
entitled "What Comes Beyond the Standard Models?" which will after two
''virtual '' years and two ``partly virtual and partly real year'' take place at
Bled, Slovenia, from 8th of July 2024 (Monday, arrival day, afternoon)
to 19th of July 2024 (Wednesday, departure day, morning), real and
``virtual'' (ZOOM) workshop.
We hope that we shall meet at Bled with most of participants
in vivo.

The ''virtual'' part will be hosted by Cosmovia, http://viavca.in2p3.fr/site.html,
courtesy of Prof. Maxim Yu. Khlopov.

Please let us know if you are interested and can participate during
that period. We will then send you further information.

For the ''virtual'' part of the workshop we will need besides the title also
the abstracts of your talks and you will have to send your talk (as a pdf or
PowerPoint file) to Maxim and Norma probably at least a day in advance.


To make a schedule we will therefore need a title of your talk (and
preferably also an abstract). We will try to make a preliminary
schedule a few days before the workshop starts and update and
modify it daily as necessary for talk continuations and discussions.

We will also put your presentations on the workshop homepage (see
http://bsm.fmf.uni-lj.si/bled2024bsm/). As every year, we plan to
publish printed Proceedings with the write-ups of your talks in
December 2024. Our Proceedings has now a DOI number --
DOI.51746/978961279 2097 for 2023.
You will receive detailed instructions on this at the
end of the real and virtual workshop and also later.
We also expect informational support from MDPI journals Symmetry,
Universe, Particles ad Physics and selected invited contributions will
be published for free, if accepted, in the corresponding special issues.

After appearing on arxiv, we shall need for that the arxiv number of
your talk, the whole proceedings will appear in Scopus.


This call will also be soon available at the following URL:

http://bsm.fmf.uni-lj.si/bled2024bsm/

This page contains links to maps of Bled etc. and will be updated
with later calls (in June).

The following links might be of interest:

http://bsm.fmf.uni-lj.si/bled

- home page of the previous talks and proceedings 2023 workshop
can be found at http://bsm.fmf.uni-lj.si/bled2023bsm

and contains workshop announcements and presentations of most
talks, as well as the pdf of the printed workshop Proceedings
for 2023, and the information for this year workshop.

For previous years workshops pages can be found on analogous URLs,
by just substituting 2023 with the desired year in the above address
for the workshop home page, and for this years announcements by
by putting 2024 instead of 2023.

Below is a detailed information on the aims and topics of this year's
workshop:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Our workshop is organized for the purpose of answering the open
questions in the elementary particle physics and cosmology, like
(every participant can suggest a new topic):

o Can Dirac's second quantization postulates for fermion and
boson fields be explained
* with a finite number of Clifford odd and even "basis vectors"
describing the internal space of fermions and bosons and with
the continuous infinite basis in ordinary momentum or coordinate
space?
o Can the need for the Fadeev-Popov ghosts in Feynman's
diagrams be explained by the Clifford odd and even "basis
vectors in odd-dimensional spaces?

o Are the Kaluza-Klein-like theories, with gravity as the only interaction
among fermions in higher dimensional spaces, the right next step to
understand
* all the observed properties of quarks and leptons and antiquarks and
antileptons, and
* of their vector and scalar gauge vector fields?

o What is the most promising step beyond the standard model,
explaining the assumptions of the standard model like:
* the origin of massless family members with their related spins and
charges,
* the origin of families of fermions,
* the origin of massless vector gauge fields,
* the origin of the Higgs' scalar and Yukawa couplings for massive
quarks and leptons,
* the origin of differences in masses of family members?

o What is the most promising step beyond the standard model
explaining:
* the origin of dark matter and its properties
(when comparing cosmological observation, direct detections and
all the proposed models),
* the masses and charges of the dark matter,
* the origin of the dark energy,
* the origin of ordinary matter-antimatter asymmetry.

o What is the dynamics of the dark matter in in our solar system?

o How to interpret the so far made searches for new physics?
* How many families shall we be able to observe at the LHC and
at which energies?
* How many scalar fields shall the LHC observe?
* What are masses of new families?
* What are properties of new scalar fields?

o What can different models and experiments
say about the lepton number non conservation?

o What is the origin of the energy scales:
* the colour phase transition scale,
* the electroweak phase transition scale,
* the scale at $10^{19}$ GeV or higher?

o What can strings and membranes contribute to our
understanding of elementary particle physics and
cosmology,
* what understanding of the low energy fermions
and the vector and scalar gauge fields they offer?

o What can the complex action bring into the understanding of
the properties of our universe?

o Why has Nature made a choice of four (noticeable) dimensions
while all the others (if existing) are hidden?
* How does the ''compactification'' of extra dimensions (if existing)
occur?
* What is the starting symmetry and starting dimension of our
universe and how can one understand that we do not see the
the dimensions larger then (3+1)?
* What are properties of space-time in the hidden dimensions
(if existing)?
* Can it be that dynamics in higher dimensions is just frozen out
while internal spaces give properties to fields in $d=(3+2)$?

o How can one understand the discrete symmetries in
Kaluza-Klein like theories?

o How can all gauge fields, including gravity and scalar fields, be
unified and quantized?

o What is the origin of the field which caused inflation?

o What can new measurements of gravitational waves contribute to
understanding cosmology (and elementary fields)?

o How can the second quantization of the black hole be related to
classical singularity?

o How do black holes influence the history of the universe?

o Many other open problems.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

The aim of the workshop is to bring together physicists from the field of
the elementary particles and cosmology, who are trying to find the
answers to the above and other open questions and who would enjoy
to actively discuss these questions in a small group.

In the last twenty six years the workshops entitled ''What comes
beyond the standard models?" took place annually in July since 1998
except 2018, which was in June, and each year we spent about ten days,
trying to answer the above (and other) questions in a very pleasant and
relaxing atmosphere. We have published twenty six volumes of
Proceedings to these workshops (one in 1999, and then one volume every
year since 2001). In the year 2003 we have also organized, in addition
and with the help of EURESCO, the conference titled "Euroconference
on symmetries beyond the Standard models" from 12. -- 17. of July 2003
in Portoroz, Slovenia. Proceedings volume published in 2003 contains
write-ups of the talks at this conference.

**************************************** Location

The Physical Society together with the Mathematical Society owns a
house, whose owner was our well known mathematician Josip
Plemelj. This house can accept at most 18 people in 9 rooms. The
street location of the house is Presernova cesta 39, Bled. It also
has a lecture room for around 20 people. We also can make the hotel
reservation, or you can do that by yourself (Bled homepage
www.Bled.si contains links to hotels). If you want us to do that
then, please, let us know very soon.

*************************************** Cost

We are trying to keep the costs low. The Conference Fee will be 480 EUR
for the whole duration of the Workshop (or 60 EUR per day) and it will
cover breakfast, coffees, lunch-snacks and dinner for 8 days.
The price of 8 days accommodation in Villa Plemelj is 240
EUR (sharing a double bedroom) or 480 EUR (for single occupancy)
and it is paid separately from the Conference Fee.


*************************************** Letter of invitation

Please let us know, if you need a letter of invitation from the
organizing committee either for your institute/university or for
a visa application. We recommend that you bring appropriate shoes
and parkas for trekking and mountaineering .



*************************************** Bled
Bled is a nice town by the lake of the same name, surrounded by
mountains, with many comfortable hotels. Home page of Bled,
containing information for visitors, is available at

http://www.bled.si in several languages.
***************************************


The workshop is organized by the DMFA (Society of Mathematicians,
Physicists and Astronomers of Slovenia). The workshop is sponsored by
DMFA and Department of Physics, FMF, University of Ljubljana with the
computer equipment and supported by Beyond Semiconductor, and the
last several years by MDPI. Also Niels Bohr institute is supporting the
workshops, and all those who are paying the living expenses by
themselves, if the institutions do not pay their travel and living expenses
as well.

ONE PAGE CONTRIBUTION
You may send a one page contribution to the workshop.

SUGGESTIONS FOR DISCUSSIONS
We also suggest you to write in a few sentences the suggestions for
the open problems, which you are prepared to lead the discussions for,
or you suggest the discussions about.

PRESENTATIONS
It is planned that in the first two or three days everybody will
present her or his work in a one hour talk (although the talks
usually, because of many questions and interruptions, last much
longer).
In the rest of the workshop we shall discuss the open problems.

TITLE OF TALK.................................

We are looking forward to meeting you in real, but also ,if in real is
not possible, then virtually.
