Sixth International meeting :

"Mathematical Methods for Ab Initio Quantum Chemistry"

18-19 November 2010
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 2007 brought together leading experts in the field of "Geminals and other group functions". The fourth edition in 2008 focussed on "Potential Energy Surfaces: definitions, derivations and applications in molecular spectroscopy and dynamics". The fifth meeting in 2009 was centered on the "new developments in infra-red and microwave spectroscopy and their applications to biological systems".

Aims and scope

This sixth International meeting on "Mathematical Methods for Ab Initio Quantum Chemistry" can be seen as a follow up to the fifth. It will be centered on the "new developments in infra-red and microwave spectroscopy and their applications to atmospheric sciences and astrochemistry". This is an area where there has been recent progress in experimental and theoretical aspects. We hope that people from both communities will take the opportunity offered by the meeting to discuss and cross-fertilize their approaches.
