Seventh International meeting :

"Mathematical Methods for Ab Initio Quantum Chemistry"

20-21 October 2011
Laboratoire J.A. Dieudonné
CNRS et Université de Nice - Sophia-Antipolis

History

The first Nice International meeting on "Mathematical Methods for Ab Initio Quantum Chemistry" in 2005 had the ambition to show that all fields of mathematics could contribute to solve the wide variety of problems raised by quantum chemistry. Our second meeting in 2006 emphasized discrete versus continuous representation problems, reduced density matrices and Hopf algebra techniques, and group theory applications. Our third meeting in 2007 brought together leading experts in the field of "Geminals and other group functions". The fourth edition in 2008 focussed on "Potential Energy Surfaces: definitions, derivations and applications in molecular spectroscopy and dynamics". The fifth meeting in 2009 was centered on the "new developments in infra-red and microwave spectroscopy and their applications to biological systems" and the sixth meeting in 2010 on "new developments in infra-red and microwave spectroscopy and their applications to atmospheric sciences and astrochemistry".

Aims and scope

This seventh International meeting on "Mathematical Methods for Ab Initio Quantum Chemistry" will be centered on the "Relativistic and electroweak quantum chemistry ". This is a challenging area both experimentally and theoretically, with the quest of parity violation mesurement in chiral molecules. We hope that people from both communities will take the opportunity offered by the meeting to discuss and cross-fertilize their approaches.
