International School on Geometry of Nonlinear PDE "Diffiety School", 2016 (January 26–February 4, 2016, Voronezh)
The aim of the annual Diffiety School is to introduce university and Ph. D. students of mathematics and physics as well as post-doctoral researchers of the recently emerged area of mathematics and theoretical physics: general theory of nonlinear partial differential equations (NPDE) and its applications, first of all, to mechanics and physics. The two main parts of this new theory are "Secondary Calculus" and "Differential Calculus over Commutative Algebras". The theory also includes the traditional research methods in differential equations and is a unique synthesis of differential geometry, algebraic and differential topology, commutative and homological algebra, group theory and theory of Lie groups, and a number of other areas of contemporary mathematics.
Its actual and potential applications stretch from control theory problems to problems of quantum field theory.
Candidates are invited to present short talks (about 15 minutes). There is no registration fee. Working languages are English and Russian.
