Conférence Moshé Flato 2000
Moshé Flato, born 17 September 1937, founder in 1968 of the "Laboratoire
de Mathématique physique" in Dijon and of "Letters in Mathematical Physics"
in 1975, died suddenly from cerebral hematoma in Paris, 27 November 1998.
At the request of many in the mathematics and mathematical physics community
we have organized a Conference in his honor, at a date as close to his
birthday as made possible by various constraints. These preliminary steps
were taken by Daniel Sternheimer, Jacques Simon, Wilfried Schmid and
Jean-Claude Cortet, helped by all members of Moshé's laboratory in Dijon,
and a number of other friends in France and elsewhere. The idea was to have
a Conference which Moshé would have been happy to attend and shows the many
domains of mathematics, mathematical physics and physics that were close
to his heart.
The first "Conférence Moshé Flato"
took place in Dijon, September 5 through
September 8, 1999. Its various components were attended by about 150 French
and foreign scientists, in addition to a number of other participants.
Indeed, Moshé would have enjoyed this conference immensely.
The proceedings of CMF1999 were published
by Kluwer Academic Publishers in July 2000.
The two volumes will be available at the Conference.
The second "Conférence Moshé Flato" will take place in Dijon, from September
11 through September 13, 2000. It will cover subjects ranging from mathematics
to mathematical physics, especially new developments in topics treated in
the first Scientific Conference. An informal satellite conference is scheduled
on Thursday September 14.
Further details shall be communicated later.
The European Commission will partly fund it within its Fifth Framework
Programme as a High Level Scientific Conference. Under the rules of a
"EuroConference", we limited attendance to 95 registered participants
and essentially reached that limit. We also require a registration fee
which we limited to a modest 50 Euros, payable at the Conference.
In most cases the registration fees can be covered by a grant.
Participation of young (under 35) talented scientists from the European
Union and Associated States was encouraged. Further details will be posted
here and updated regularly. In some exceptional cases a request for
registration can still be submitted and eventually accepted, so potential
candidates are encouraged to enquire. The Conference Coordinator is
Daniel Sternheimer.
