This session was originally entitled "Inertial Forces, Optical Metrics and Particle Motion", but then was expanded to
include more general classical theoretical topics. As of June 29 there were 32 abstracts submitterd to this session. The organizers have been asked for more time than the available 4 hours of the schedule, but this has not (yet?) been granted. At present I therefore have to reneg on the promised minimum of 5 minutes indicated in the last version of this page, and choose speakers for longer presentations by the best logical scheme I could devise,* which however will seem arbitrary to some (and maybe even to everyone else).
Because of the range of topics in the submitted abstracts we will not have an introductory summary, but I urge speakers who "belong together" (for example as co-authors) to make joint presentations (so there needs to be only one introduction for a set of several papers). The schedule below is still quite preliminary, I assume that not everyone listed will actually attend and time slots remain to be assigned (this will probably not happen until July 23). *for example I allowed no papers that have a quantum or historical component, and urge those not chosen to change their affiliation to another session; similarly I hoped that those who have submitted papers to several other session can consolidate the material they intended for this session into their other presentations.
