Symmetry in Geometry and Physics
Dipartimento di Matematica
“G. Castelnuovo”
This conference, on the
occasion of Dmitri Alekseevsky's
sixty-fifth birthday, will be devoted to topics in differential geometry and
mathematical physics related to his scientific activity. The aim is to bring together mathematicians and physicists
with the hope of promoting dialogue across the interdisciplinary boundary and
offering an overview of new directions of research in areas such as:
· Lie groups,
homogeneous spaces and, more generally, transfomation
groups on manifolds
· Special Riemannian
structures, for instance, Kähler, hyperKähler
and quaternionic structures
· Topics in
theoretical physics, especially as seen from a differential geometric point of
view
