1 July - 19 December 1997
Organisers:JP Keating (Bristol), DE Khmelnitskii (Cambridge), IV Lerner (Birmingham), P Sarnak (Princeton)
This meeting comprises an advanced school that presents an account of the quantum properties of chaotic and disordered systems. The courses will include lectures on semiclassical and field-theoretic methods, fluctuation statistics of spectra and eigenfunctions, localization, and quantum ergodicity. The school is directed towards advanced graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and researchers.
