The Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Natural
and Humanistic Sciences and the Mathematical Physics Group of the International
School for Advanced Studies in Trieste organize a workshop on the theory
of reflection groups and their applications. The workshop aims at fostering
the interaction between mathematicians and physicists dealing with various
aspects of reflection groups.
Topics: Reflection groups in the theory of invariants, reflection
groups as Coxeter groups, hyperbolic reflection groups, arithmetic reflection
groups in hyperbolic spaces, reflection groups in algebraic geometry, Weyl
groups of Kac-Moody algebras, complex reflection groups, hypergeometric
functions and reflection groups, reflection groups in quantum field theory.
International Scientific Committee: W.Lerche (CERN), C. Procesi (Università
"La Sapienza", Rome), E.Vinberg (Moscow State University).
