Overview
[ Français ]
Barry Simon is one of the founding fathers of modern mathematical physics. His interests span a vast number of topics and his influence, through research papers, books and mentoring skills, is felt in many areas of mathematics. Among the fields where Barry has been a central figure over the years are those of quantum field theory, statistical mechanics, Schroedinger operators and the theory of orthogonal polynomials.
We shall celebrate Barry's 70th birthday with a conference bringing together leading researchers in mathematical physics for talks and discussions, with the purpose of outlining recent advances and new directions of research.
This event will be preceded by Fields Institute Young Researchers Symposium.
