About IFWGP

The Fall Workshops on Geometry and Physics have been held yearly since 1992, and bring together Spanish and Portuguese geometers and physicists, along with an ever increasing number of participants from outside the Iberian peninsula. The meetings aim to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between researchers of different fields in Differential Geometry, Applied Mathematics and Physics, and always include a substantial number of enthusiastic young researchers amongst the participants.

In October 1992 a meeting organized by the Instituto de Matemáticas y Física Fundamental of Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (Manuel de León) and the Departamento de Física Teórica II of the Universidad Complutense (Alberto Ibort) was held in Madrid. This workshop gave birth to an annual sequence of meetings, originally named Workshop on Differential Geometry and its Applications (WODGA). Later, this name turned into the current one, taking into account the increase in the international participation and the fact that it was celebrated usually at the beginning of autumn.

Main topics

The Workshop is open to any topic in the interplay between Geometry and Physics, including

• Classical field theory
• Control theory
• Integrable systems
• Lie algebroids and mechanics
• Lorentz geometry
• Mechanics of continuous media
• Poisson geometry
• Quantum gravity
• Quantum mechanics
• Relativity
• Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian geometry
