Barry Simon is one of the founding fathers of modern mathematical physics. His interests span a vast number of topics and his influence, through research papers, books and mentoring skills, is felt in many areas of mathematics. Among the fields where Barry has been a central figure over the years are those of quantum field theory, statistical mechanics, Schroedinger operators and the theory of orthogonal polynomials. We shall celebrate Barry’s 70th birthday with a conference bringing together leading researchers in mathematical physics for talks and discussions, with the purpose of outlining recent advances and new directions of research.
