It will also cover the application of electronic structure methods to the mechanical, dynamical, electronic, and magnetic properties of materials. The activity will cover basic methodological aspects such as density functional theory, pseudopotentials, plane waves, iterative diagonalization methods, etc. Previous schools were held in Cape Town, South Africa (2010) and Eldoret, Kenya (2012). The schools emphasize the theory and computational methods for predicting and understanding properties of materials through calculations at the fundamental level of electronic structure. Please submit abstracts in pdf format by 16 November 2014 ICTP ICTP African School series on Electronic Structure Methods and Applications (ASESMA) is planned on a biennial basis from 2010 to 2020. The template for the abstracts can be downloaded below. Abstracts must be submitted to the Workshop Secretary, at the e-mail address indicated below. However, every effort should be made by candidates to secure at least partial support for their travel expenses.ĭuring the activity there will be a Poster Session. Limited funds are available for some participants who are nationals of, and working in, a developing country, to be selected by the Organizers. Travel and subsistence expenses of participants should be borne by their home institutions. As the activity will be conducted in English, participants should have an adequate working knowledge of this language. Scientists from all countries that are members of the United Nations, UNESCO or IAEA may attend the Workshop. Many-body approaches: GW, DMFT, quantum Monte CarloĪpproaches for electrons out of equilibrium: dynamics and transport The activity will be held at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Trieste, Italy from 15 to 17 January 2015 with the co-sponsorship of Psi-k.Īs in previous events of this series, the Workshop will consist of invited talks and a contributed poster session, with ample space devoted to discussion. Following the tradition of the previous meetings, the Workshop will be devoted to recent advances in computational condensed matter physics and materials science, based on realistic calculations of the electronic structure of complex systems.

SISSA, Santorio Building ICTP This Workshop will follow the series started in Oxford, U.K. This is based on joint work with Jesper Jacobsen (LPTENS, Paris) and Hubert Saleur (IPhT, Saclay). There are many consequences to this observation, and I will present applications of our results to polymer physics as well as to the construction of integrable truncations of the IQHE plateau transitons. In this talk, we will see that there actually many 'physical' spin chains or statistical lattice models corresponding to non compact conformal field theories. Whereas in the compact case a lot of insight is usually gained by turning to (integrable) regularizations such as lattice models or spin chains, a connection between non compact field theories and the world of integrable spin chains has for long been lacking. There are however many noticeable cases where continuous spectra of exponents are observed, a prominent example being that of the Integer Quantum Hall Effect. Most common critical systems in condensed matter and statistical mechanics are associated with a discrete set of critical exponents, which can be traced back to the compact nature of the corresponding field theories.
