Of course, the lecture is likely to be in sala XXVI (NOT XX).

The embassy changed its plans a bit, so now Jean-Pierre's talk is planned for Monday afternoon 19 Nov as a regular sala XX seminar:
16.30 on Mon 19 November, sala XX, Instytut Fizyki (ul. Grudziadzka, 5)
TITLE: The shape of space : from black holes to cosmic topology
SPEAKER: Jean-Pierre Luminet, Laboratoire de l'Univers et Théories (LUTH), Observatoire de Paris-Meudon, http://luth2.obspm.fr/luminet.html
ABSTRACT: The decription of the shape of our physical space at various scales (length scales or energy scales) involves a rich variety of geometrical models, each depending on the underlying physical theory. Imaging distorted space and time by gravitational and quantum fields is a big challenge of modern fundamental physics. I shall discuss such space representations for describing the shape of space around and inside black holes, next the global shape of our universe in the framework of cosmic topology. Striking movies and color visualizations will be displayed.
