Nonlinear Dynamics and Spectra of Molecules
A Workshop at the Mathematics Research Centre, University of Warwick
Tuesday 18th - Friday 21st March 1997
The workshop will review recent work on the nonlinear classical and
semi-classical mechanics of symmetric systems and their applications
to the dynamics and spectra of molecules and atoms. Major themes
will include:
- Geometrical and topological approaches to the dynamics of molecules
and atoms
- Using classical dynamics to predict and interpret spectra
- Symmetry aspects of semi-classical quantization of regular and
chaotic dynamics
- Applications to small highly symmetric molecules
Particular emphasis will be placed on exploring possible applications of
of recent theoretical developments and on discussing problems for which
new theoretical work is needed.
Participants are expected to include:
M.S. Child (Oxford) J.B. Delos (William & Mary)
G.S. Ezra (Cornell) S.C. Farantos (Heraklion)
N.C. Handy (Cambridge) E. Heller (Harvard)
J.S.W. Lamb (Warwick) A.D. Lewis (Warwick)
L. Michel (IHES) J.A. Montaldi (Nice)
R. Prosmiti (UCL) R.M. Roberts (Warwick)
D.A. Sadovskii (U du Littoral) B.T. Sutcliffe (York)
J. Tennyson (UCL) B. Zhilinskii (U du Littoral)
The workshop is being organized by Mark Roberts and Jonathan Tennyson.
Further details about programme will be circulated later this year.
