FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
The Workshop on Geometric Methods in Physics has become one of the
widely recognized, annual activities in the field of mathematical
physics and applied mathematics. It has been organized every year
since 1981 and has grown from a regional meeting to its present
international form, attracting leading physicists and mathematicians
from all over the world.
The program consists of invited lectures, often of a review nature, as
well as specialized, contributed talks.
PLACE AND TIME
The 2005 Workshop will take place in its home venue, in the heart of
the Bialowieza National Park - a site of great natural beauty. Arrival
date will be Saturday, June 25. The scientific activity will run from
Sunday, June 26 till Saturday, July 2 and will end with the Kupala
Night (2/3 July). A number of social events, including a campfire, an
excursion to the Bialowieza forest and a banquet, are usually
organized during the week.
There will be a special bus service from Warsaw to Bialowieza, on June
25 and back from Bialowieza to Warsaw on July 3, for participants of
the conference.
TOPICS
The topics covered in these meetings span wide areas of mathematical
physics and pure mathematics, inspired by physical problems. The
conference offers good opportunities for exchange of ideas between
physicists and mathematicians. Specific topics for the XXIV Workshop
will include among others
coherent state methods,
infinite dimensional Lie groups and Lie algebras,
integrable systems,
noncommutative geometry
Poisson and symplectic geometry,
quantum gravity,
quantum groups,
quasicrystals,
random matrices.
