Scope of the workshop Topics Invited speakers Participation Participants and their presentations Contact: janis@fzu.cz |
|
The workshop is aimed at reviewing recent developments in the study and understanding of unconventional critical behaviour in disordered and interacting systems that do not fit entirely the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson weak-coupling renormalization scheme. In particular critical behavior and ordering in spin glasses, metal-insulator transition and localisation of electrons and in bulk and mesoscopic disordered systems and quantum phase transitions in strongly correlated electrons are to be discussed. Emphasis should be laid on physical phenomena such as ergodicity breaking, deviatons from the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, nonselfaveraging property, non-Fernmi-liquid behaviour etc. as well as on methods and techniques that proved useful in the description of unconventional criticality.

Participation at the workshop is limited by its intention and by capacity of the local facilitities. The workshop is organized and sponsored by the Programme SPHINX (Statistical Physics of Glassy and Non-equilibrium Systems) of the European Science Foundation predominantly for the researches active within this activity. The members of the SPHINX Programme will have priority in the acceptance. The total number of participants is restricted to 40. Participation of scientists from institutions not involved in SPHINX is, in principle, possible on their own costs if allowed by the workshop capacity. There is no conference fee due but no financial support outside SPHINX can be provided. The members of the SPHINX Programme can apply for the support from the conference budget.
Each participant including invited speakers should register by filling out the Registration form. This is necessary for being able to make appropriate reservations for meals and lodgings (see Local information). Applicants beyond the invited speakers will be informed about acceptance within two weeks after the registration deadline.
