Presentation

Deadline for registration: 15/03/2017

This focused conference celebrates Gary Gibbons' remarkable contributions and continuing influence in diverse fields of contemporary physics including gravity, the theory of solitons and classical and quantum symmetries. The meeting will focus on current developments in these fields. The discussions are intended to be informal and to provide with the opportunity to exchange new ideas. The event is organized on the occasion of the award of the Honoris Causa Doctor of Science degree to Gary Gibbons by the University François-Rabelais of Tours.
