Scope and Topics
Differential equations occupy a central place in much current research in physics and mathematics; in particular, the question of their integrability has remained an open challenge for many centuries. Since then, many tools have been developed which have a bearing on this challenge; these include aspects of algebra, geometry, topology and computer science. This interdisciplinary conference aims to bring together researchers from all these fields and to explore new avenues for their application in physics and applied mathematics. One objective is to foster links between abstract theory and the treatment of specific problems of relevance to physics and allied sciences.
Within this scope papers are invited that include (but are not restricted to) the following topics:
- Algebraic or Geometric Approaches to Differential Equations and Field Theories
- Perturbative and Asymptotic Methods
- Singularity Analysis
- Nonlinear Electrodynamics and Gauge Theories
- Constrained Dynamics
- Integrable Systems
- Local and Global Symmetries
- Differential Galois Theory
- Spencer Cohomology and Effective Homology
- Normal Forms
- Differential Algebraic Equations
- Involutive Bases
