9700492 Groisser The proposed workshop and special semester are in the area of mathematical physics with an interdisciplinary theme. Planned talks of the workshop cover several topics of current interest centering around Seiberg-Witten theory and symplectic geometry. The proposed activities are to be hosted jointly by the Department of Mathematics and the Institute for Fundamental Theory (IFT) at the University of Florida. The IFT is a research center designed to promote interdisciplinary research and communication among specialists in high energy physics, astrophysics, condensed matter physics, and mathematical physics. The 1990s can be seen as a period of remarkable interface and unification between theoretical physics and mathematics. For example, the recent discovery of N. Seiberg and E. Witten on electric-magnetic duality has had an enormous impact in low-dimensional geometry and topology; conversely, cutting-edge mathematical ideas are providing a new language for string theory.

9700492格罗瑟 拟议的研讨会和特别学期是在数学物理领域与跨学科的主题。研讨会的计划会谈涵盖了围绕赛伯格-威滕理论和辛几何当前感兴趣的几个主题。拟议的活动将由佛罗里达大学数学系和基础理论研究所联合主办。IFT是一个研究中心，旨在促进高能物理、天体物理、凝聚态物理和数学物理领域专家之间的跨学科研究和交流。 20世纪90年代可以被看作是理论物理和数学之间显著的界面和统一的时期。例如，最近发现的N. Seiberg和E.维滕关于电磁对偶性的理论对低维几何和拓扑学产生了巨大的影响;相反，前沿的数学思想为弦论提供了一种新的语言。
