PURPOSE OF THE SCHOOL AND WORKSHOP
This School and Workshop, directed towards graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and researchers, is intended to provide an introductory set of lectures, where both physical and mathematical nature of the subjects and methods will be emphasized. Last week will be devoted to a Topical Workshop, which is an expansion of series of International Workshops "Selected Topics of Theoretical and Modern Mathematical Physics", held in 1991 and 1996.

The School is intended for graduate students, postgraduate and postdoctoral fellows, and this year will concentrate on the following topics:
