Scientific scope

The 40th Symposium on Mathematical Physics will be devoted to the interaction between quanta and geometry in different physical theories.  Such interplay between physics and geometry has been a central issue for the journal “Reports on Mathematical Physics”, whose 40th anniversary we shall celebrate during the conference.

The programme of the jubilee Symposium will contain a plenary part with special invited lectures and four thematic sessions on:
