XI Edition of the Italian Diffiety School
Month: July 2008
Date: July 17--August 1
Name: XI Edition of the Italian Diffiety School
Location: Santo Stefano del Sole (Avellino), Italy.
Description
The aim of this permanent school is to introduce undergraduate and Ph.D. students in Mathematics and Physics, as well as post-doctoral researchers, in a recently emerged area of Mathematics and Theoretical Physics: Secondary Calculus. A Diffiety is a new geometrical object that properly formalizes the concept of the solution space of a given system of nonlinear PDEs, much as an algebraic variety does with respect to solutions of a given system of algebraic equations. Secondary Calculus is a natural diffiety analogue of the standard calculus on smooth manifolds, and as such leads to a very rich general theory of nonlinear PDEs. Moreover, it appears to be the unique natural language for quantum physics, just as the standard calculus is the natural language for classical physics.
