Symmetry Methods in Physics
News, 14 October 2014
The 16th International Conference «Symmetry Methods in Physics» (SYMPHYS-XVI), dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the birth of Academician Alexei Sissakian (1944-2010), will be held on 13-18 October 2014 in Dubna. The Conference was organized jointly by the Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physicsof the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research and the A.N.Sissakian International Center for Advanced Studies of the Yerevan State University.
The first five Conferences were initiated by Professor Ya.A. Smorodinsky and were organized by the Institute of Physics and Power Engineering in Obninsk from 1986 to 1991.
The next seven Conferences of this series were organized under the patronage of Professor A.N.Sissakian and were held at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna in 1993, 1995 and 1997 and 2009, in Yerevan in 2001, 2003 and 2006 and Prague in 2004.
The programme of the Conference includes traditional for the SYMPHYS series topics:
