SYMMETRY AND STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES OF CONDENSED MATTER, PROCEEDINGS OF THE 7TH INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL ON THEORETICAL PHYSICS (SSPCM 2002)

This volume is the seventh in a series of proceedings on theoretical physics related to various aspects of the structure of condensed matter and to appropriate mathematical methods for adequate description. Three main topics are considered: conformal symmetry, central charge, condensation of flux; rigged string configurations, Yang–Baxter equations and their applications in solid state physics; and energy band structure in solids.
