SIG X (Solitons @ Work workshop)
20 June - 01 July 2022
From classical to quantum Solitons
Lectures on topological solitons, their mathematical properties and physical applications.
As always, the aim of this informal workshop is to
increase interactions (and possible future collaboration)
between topological solitons oriented physicists and mathematicians. So,
we are mainly focused on discussion.
This year we want once again to discuss problems and open questions related
to dynamical aspects of topological solitons, their interactions and quantization.
Due to the Russian attack on Ukraine and still unstable COVID situation, the workshop will be held in a hybrid form
with all talks avaliable online. However, we do our best to keep the informal
spirit of the workshop where the stress is put on the discussion rather than talks.
The participation is free and open to everyone.
To join the workshop and the workshop mailing list please e-mail Kasia Oles at katarzyna.slawinska [at] uj.edu.pl
The first week will have even more informal climate with only one talk a day, also avaliable online.
In addition, the talks will have more introduction/overview flavour. Therefore
they should be especially interesting for students.
In the second week, which is the main week of the workshop, we plan to have (only) 2 online talks
every day followed by informal (almost unlimited) discussion sessions.
This edition is again organized within the framework
Soliton at Work S@W.
We acknowledge financial support from:
the Faculty of Physics,
Astronomy and Applied Computer Science of the Jagiellonian University.
the Department of Field Theory, Institute of Theoretical Physics of the Jagiellonian University
