Solitons, boomerons and isochronous solutions to nonlinear systems

 

Workshop for Francesco Calogero 70th birthday

February 4th - February 6th  2005, Rome

Organizing Committee: D. Levi, M.Lusignoli, O.Ragnisco, P.M.Santini

Supporting Institution: Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare  

The workshop will focus on some specific aspects of modern theory of nonlinear integrable and non-integrable systems, where the contributions by F. Calogero have been specially relevant. Accordingly, emphasis will be put on  analytic solutions of integrable evolution equations, as Solitons and Boomerons, and on nonintegrable systems, both finite- and infinite-dimensional, exhibiting large families of periodic solutions, as well as on the presentation of the most recent results in the theory of integrable many body problems.

The workshop will deal with the following topics:

·     Solitons and Inverse Scattering Transform, continuous and discrete

·     Solitons and differential geometry

·     Boomerons for matrix evolution equations

·     Isochronous solutions to dynamical systems

·     Classical and Quantum Integrable many body problems

·     Cellular Automata, nonlinear maps and Algebraic Entropy

·     Applicable nonlinear equations
