Oporto Meetings on Geometry, Topology and Physics

Oporto Meetings on
Geometry, Topology and Physics The aim of the Oporto meetings is to bring together mathematicians and physicists interested in the inter-relation between geometry, topology and physics and to provide them with a pleasant and informal environment for scientific interchange.
