XVIII Summer Diffiety School on the Geometry of PDEs
The aim of this permanent School is to introduce undergraduate and Ph.D. students in Mathematics and Physics as well as post-doctoral researchers to a specific area of Mathematics and Theoretical Physics:
SECONDARY CALCULUS
A diffiety is a geometrical object that properly formalizes the concept of the solution space of a given system of (nonlinear) PDEs, much as an algebraic variety does with respect to solutions of a given system of algebraic equations. Secondary Calculus is a natural diffiety analogue of the standard calculus on smooth manifolds, and as such leads to a very rich general theory of nonlinear PDEs. Moreover, there are indications that it could be a natural language for quantum physics, just as the standard calculus is a natural language for classical physics.
The school is organized under the scientific direction of Prof. A. M. Vinogradov.
Questions and suggestions should be sent to the e-address: diffiety AT gmail.com.
