Proceedings:
As announced, we are publishing separate
Proceedings for QTS-4 and LT-6.
The Proceedings of QTS-4 spread over 966 pages and for technological reasons
appear as 2 bodies: QTS-4 Volume 1 and QTS-4 Volume 2, while the LT-6 Volume has 348 pages.
You can see the contents here: QTS-4 Table of Contents Volumes 1 & 2 and here: LT-6 Table of Contents.
The volumes are finalized and in print and are
being sent to every contributor. For the mailing the Publisher is using the postal address given in the
contribution, thus, if some contributor has given incomplete address, she/he should
e-mail us a complete address as soon as possible.
The first Symposium of this series was held in Goslar (Germany) in 1999:
QTS-1,
the second - in Cracow (Poland) in 2001:
QTS-2, the third - in Cincinnati
(USA) in 2003:
QTS-3 . The series
started around the core concept that symmetries
underlie all descriptions of quantum systems. It has since evolved to
a symposium on the frontiers of theoretical and mathematical physics.
In the 4-th Symposium, which is dedicated to the
World Year of
Physics 2005 , we foresee the following topics/sessions:
- Symmetries in String Theory and Quantum Gravity (1)
- Supergravity (2)
- Gauge, Noncommutative, Conformal Field Theories (3)
- Quantum Computing, Information and Control (4)
- Integrable Systems (5)
- Foundations of Quantum Theory (6)
- Quantum Optics, Coherent States, Wigner Functions (7)
- Dynamical Systems (8)
- Symmetries in Condensed Matter and Statistical Physics (9)
- Symmetries in Nuclear, Atomic and Molecular Physics (10)
- Symmetries in Chemistry, Biology and other Sciences (11)
(The above numbering is for (optional) use when filling the Registration form.)
Partially overlapping with these topics, but on a more rigorous
mathematical level and with strong participation of mathematicians, the
symposium will include as a substructure the 6-th edition of the
International Workshop "Lie Theory and Its Applications in Physics"
(LT-6). (For the 5-th Workshop see:
LT-5 .)
The Workshop will be
co-organized with H.-D. Doebner and will be
represented by several plenary speakers and parallel sessions on:
- Representation Theory (12)
- Infinite-Dimensional Lie Groups and Algebras (13)
- Quantum Groups (14)
- Superalgebras (15)
- Special Functions (16)
- Noncommutative Geometry (17)
- Symmetries of Linear and Nonlinear PDO (18)
Another independent activity is the
Workshop on "Quantum Systems Related to Noncommutative Geometries,
Their Symmetries and Evolution Equations"
associated with QTS-4.
This Workshop is sponsored by the
Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (Germany)
through a tri-lateral Collaboration Clausthal-Leipzig-Sofia.
The Workshop is organized by the leaders of the three nodes of the Collaboration
(Doebner, G. Rudolph, Dobrev) and will be
represented by several plenary and parallel speakers.

Organization:
The work of the Symposium will be organized in five morning
plenary sessions and four afternoons with several parallel sessions.
Monday, 15 August, is the arrival day with registration the whole day.
The talks start on Tuesday, 16 August, in the morning,
and end on Saturday, 20 August, in the late afternoon. Thursday
afternoon is free with organized excursion. Sunday, 21 August, is
the departure day.
Conference Site and Travel:
The conference will take place at Varna Free University
"Chernorizets Hrabar" (VFU)
(to see this in Bulgarian click here)
on the Black Sea coast near Varna (10 km to the north-east). Varna is Bulgaria's third largest
city and main naval port. VFU is a private university with Academic Profiles:
Humanities, Social Sciences, Arts, Technical Sciences, but without Physics and Math Depts.
It is situated in Resort "Chaika", which is a small resort
between two of Bulgaria's best
known coastal resorts "St. Konstantin and Elena" and "Golden Sands".
The most convenient way to travel is by plane to
Varna airport. Travel by train is to Varna train station.
