FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

bison

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 founded in 1981 and is organized every year since then. The Workshop 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 plenary lectures (55 minutes), often of a review nature, as well as specialized, contributed talks (40 or 25 minutes).

PLACE AND TIME

The 2007 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 30. The scientific activity will run from Sunday, July 1 till Saturday, July 7 and will end with the Kupala Night (7/8 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 30 and back from Bialowieza to Warsaw on July 8, 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 and nature phenomena. The conference offers good opportunities for exchange of ideas between physicists and mathematicians. Specific topics for the XXVI Workshop will include among others

  • differential operators,
  • dynamical systems,
  • infinite dimensional Lie groups and Lie algebras,
  • integrable systems,
  • Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids,
  • mathematical aspects of field theory,
  • noncommutative geometry,
  • operator algebras and quantum groups,
  • Poisson and symplectic geometry,
  • quantization.
