Computable Analysis of Differential Equations (Invited Talk)
In this talk, we discuss some algorithmic aspects of the local and global existence theory for various ordinary and partial differential equations. We will present a sample of results and give some idea of the motivation and general philosophy underlying these results
Unitary One Matrix Models: String Equations and Flows
We review the Symmetric Unitary One Matrix Models. In particular we discuss
the string equation in the operator formalism, the mKdV flows and the Virasoro
Constraints. We focus on the \t-function formalism for the flows and we
describe its connection to the (big cell of the) Sato Grassmannian \Gr via
the Plucker embedding of \Gr into a fermionic Fock space. Then the space of
solutions to the string equation is an explicitly computable subspace of
\Gr\times\Gr which is invariant under the flows.Comment: 20 pages (Invited talk delivered by M. J. Bowick at the Vth Regional

International Conference on Nonlinear Differential Equations and Applications
Dear Participants, Colleagues and Friends
It is a great honour and a privilege to give you all a warmest welcome to the first Portugal-Italy Conference on Nonlinear Differential Equations and Applications (PICNDEA).
This conference takes place at the ColĂ©gio EspĂrito Santo, University of Ăvora, located in the beautiful city of Ăvora, Portugal. The host institution, as well the associated scientific research centres, are committed to the event, hoping that it will be a benchmark for scientific collaboration between the two countries in the area of mathematics.
The main scientific topics of the conference are Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations, with particular regard to non-linear problems originating in applications, and its treatment with the methods of Numerical Analysis. The fundamental main purpose is to bring together Italian and Portuguese researchers in the above fields, to create new, and amplify previous collaboration, and to follow and discuss new topics in the area
Intersections 2000: What's New in Hadron Physics
Hadron physics is that part of QCD dealing with hadron structure and vacuum
structure, almost all of which is nonperturbative in nature. Some of the open
problems in this field are outlined. We argue that hadron physics is a distinct
subfield, no longer within particle physics, and not at all the same as
classical nuclear physics. We believe that it needs to be better organized, and
that a first step in doing so might be to establish hadron physics as a new
division within the American Physical Society.Comment: Invited Talk at 7th Conference on the Intersections of Particle and

Classical and Quantum Mechanical Models of Many-Particle Systems
The topic of this meeting were non-linear partial differential and integro-differential equations (in particular kinetic equations and their macroscopic/fluid-dynamical limits) modeling the dynamics of many-particle systems with applications in physics, engineering, and mathematical biology. Typical questions of interest were the derivation of macro-models from micro-models, the mathematical analysis (well-posedness, stability, asymptotic behavior of solutions), and âto a lesser extendâ numerical aspects of such equations
