Santa Fe Workshop 1997

NEW DIRECTIONS IN SIMPLICIAL QUANTUM GRAVITY

Contributed Talks

We have scanned in the transparencies of the talks that were given at the workshop (more will be added as they become available). They are listed alphabetically by the speaker's last name and may be viewed by clicking on the title of the talk desired.

The files are in compressed (gzipped) postscript format which are automatically uncompressed by most web browsers. Since some of them are rather large (up to 10MB), be sure that your local disk and web browser has sufficient memory to accomodate the gunzipped postscript file(s) before downloading. The two numbers after each talk title are the size of the gzipped .gz file that will be transferred and the size of the uncompressed raw postscript .ps file that will be produced respectively, when you click on that title. Hardcopies are available upon request if necessary. Send email requests to lweaver@lanl.gov (Leslie Weaver).

A few of the speakers elected to refer to their work posted on the e-print archive, in lieu of scanning in transparencies. In those cases there is no hyperlink to the talk title, but a link to the appropriate e-print instead.
