Academic Year 2010

Symmetries in Nature
Symposium in Memoriam Marcos Moshinsky
Marcos Moshinsky Elegance and parsimony in the use of symmetry methods was the hallmark of the work of Marcos Moshinsky to understand Nature. These methods continue to blossom in a profusion of tools, topics and areas of modern physics and mathematics. Former colleagues, students and grandstudents have continued to work with his inspiration in many -sometimes diverging- branches of science, such as nuclear and particle physics, theoretical chemistry, mathematical biology, wave and quantum optics, signal and image analysis, quantum computation, and many others formerly thought to be unrelated to group representation theory. This symposium is convened to reinforce unity within the diversity of its applications.
