Fourth
International meeting :
"Mathematical
Methods for Ab Initio Quantum
Chemistry"
13-14 November 2008
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 2006 brought together leading
experts in the field of
"Geminals and other group functions".
Aims and scope
This
fourth
International meeting on "Mathematical
Methods for Ab Initio Quantum
Chemistry" focus on "Potential Energy Surfaces:
definitions, derivations and applications in molecular spectroscopy and
dynamics". This is an area where there has been much recent
developments both in mathematics and theoretical chemistry. We hope
that people from both communities will take the opportunity offered by
the meeting to discuss and cross-fertilize their approaches.
