QUANTUM FIELD METHODS

 

St.Petersburg, September 24 – October 5, 2001.

 

              UNESCO, the Euro-Asian Physical Society and St.Petersburg University will organize an International V.A.Fock School for Advances of Physics (IFSAP-2001) in St.Petersburg, September 24 – October 5, 2001. The topic of the IFSAP-2001 session will be

 

                    QUANTUM FIELD METHODS

 

              The aim of the IFSAP is to provide exceptionally talented young physicists with opportunities for interacting with senior physicists and young physicists from other countries. The School is intended for post-doctoral students and research workers who wish to obtain concentrated information on recent results on Methods of Theoretical Physics and Models of Reality and will cover both basic knowledge and the most recent findings and provide ample possibility for discussions. Visits to laboratories in St. Petersburg are envisaged.

 

The first week of the School will contain pedagogical sets of lectures and include events associated with the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Institute of Physics of  St.Petersburg University. . The second week will be devoted to participants' scientific seminars on Casimir Effect, Skyrme Model in Particle and Nuclear Physics and Quantum Gravity.
