0819 - Invariants in Low-Dimensional Topology
[OWR-2008-22] (2008) - (04 May - 10 May 2008)The complex set of topics in that workshop originates from the classical algebraic low–dimensional topology and the influx of new invariants that began with the Jones polynomial in the 1980’s, that continued with the recent ... -
0818 - Atomistic Models of Materials: Mathematical Challenges
