This conference is organized by the European Research Training Network "Geometric Analysis" in collaboration with the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, the Universita' di Ancona and the Institut de Mathématiques de Luminy.

The event will take place between March 19 to 23, 2001.

Participants are expected to arrive on March 18 and depart on March 24.

The conference will be followed by a related workshop on "Quantum Field Theory, Noncommutative Geometry and Quantum Probability" SISSA, Trieste, 25 to 30 March, 2001; see webpage :

The International Centre for Theoretical Physics, is located within the Miramare Castle Natural Park, in a pinewood on the seaside at about 8 km from downtown Trieste.

Accommodation :
Participants will be housed in the Adriatico Guest House of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics.
Cost of accommodation : single (each room costs 25-35 Euros per night) and double (each room costs 16 Euros per night per person).
Low-budget meals (about 6 Euros) will be available at the ICTP cafeteria.
