XXVII International Fall Workshop on Geometry and Physics
Universidad de Sevilla, Spain
3-7 September 2018
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
We are pleased to announce the XXVII edition of the International Fall Workshop on Geometry and Physics (IFWGP), that will take place at the University of Seville (Spain) from the 3rd to the 7th of September, 2018.
This series of international workshops, held at Spanish and Portuguese universities and research centers, covers topics in the fields of Differential Geometry, Applied Mathematics and Physics. A non-exhaustive list of topics traditionally covered in the workshops is the following:
Classical and quantum field theory
Control theory
General Relativity
Geometric mechanics
Information geometry
Integrable systems
Lie algebroids and mechanics
Lorentz geometry
Mechanics of continuous media
Poisson geometry
Quantum geometry
Quantum gravity
Quantum mechanics
Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian geometry
String theory
Supergravity and supersymmetry
Symplectic and contact geometry
One of the main goals of the workshops is to bring together researchers of these and related areas to promote the exchange of ideas between geometers and physicists. The participation of young researchers is strongly encouraged so, please, disseminate this message among your students and also among your colleagues who might be interested in the workshop.
As in previous editions the workshop will include two mini-courses. This year the mini-courses will be
Variational Principles in Quantum Physics, by Alberto Ibort (Universidad Carlos III - ICMAT, Madrid, Spain)
Contact Geometry and Thermodynamics, by Alessandro Bravetti (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, México).
More information about the meeting, registration procedure, submission of contributed talks and other details can be found at the workshop webpage:
IMPORTANT DATES:
Talk / poster submission: May 15th
Reduced registration fee: June 15th
As in previous editions, we expect to publish the proceedings of this workshop.
We look forward to meeting all of you in Seville.
Kind regards,
The Scientific and the Organizing Committees of the XXVII IFWGP.
