Symmetry Principles in Many-Body Phenomena

Joint U.S. - Japan Seminar

In honor of Joseph N. Ginocchio's 60th Birthday

Honolulu, Hawaii, February 17 - 21, 1999

    Organizers:
A. Baha Balantekin, baha@nucth.physics.wisc.edu,
Taka Otsuka, otsuka@phys.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp,


    International Advisory Committee:
A. Arima (Ministry of Science and Technology, Japan)
J. Ginocchio (Los Alamos)
W. Haxton (INT, Seattle)
F. Iachello (Yale)


Supported by University of Wisconsin-Madison, Institute for Nuclear Theory, and grants from U.S. National Science Foundation and Japan Society of Promotion of Science.


This small conference will be about implementation of symmetry principles in many-body phenomena. The main themes we expect to be covered in the seminar are: dynamical symmetry and supersymmetry in nuclear collective motion as described by the interacting boson model and its extensions; symmetry in electronic many-body systems including mesoscopic systems and micro-clusters; fundamental symmetries; chaos and broken symmetries, quantum integrable systems; utility of symmetry concepts in nuclei near the drip lines; symmetries of relativistic problems; and symmetries in the scattering theory.

A preliminary program is now available.

Hotel Information: The conference hotel is Hyatt Regency Waikiki. The hotel registration form should be mailed with a deposit for the first night as soon as possible. Please remember that the conference starts on February 17 before may flights arrive from the mainland U.S. Those of you who are arriving from the U.S. may wish to arrive late afternoon on February 16.
