The present meeting is a follow-up to the ESF-funded Exploratory Workshop with the same title held in Prague in 2010: Our main objective is to facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations across the mathematical physics community and the mathematical analysis community, with a special emphasis on state-of-the-art techniques for the study and application of the theory of non-self-adjoint operators. In Edinburgh the workshop will address modern techniques for the mathematically rigourous justification of non-self-adjoint phenomena encountered in the newly developing fields of:
We hope it will foster contact between leading academics and young researches with potential. Most delegates belong to research communities (mathematical and physical sciences) that would not normally interact with each other. By bringing them together and by motivating exchange of mathematical ideas, we hope they will generate the development of new research trends. During the meeting, there will be plenty of opportunity for discussion sessions. The programme will be organised with a single stream of keynote sessions, alternating with open problem sessions. |
