| Summary: | The conference on Trends in Theoretical Physics addressed professionals in different areas of theoretical physics. Highlights were: last developments in string theory, particularly the connection Ads - CFT. The conjecture was exposed by Maldacena and his original work is reprinted in this volume. The well-honored Chern-Simons Theory was carefully presented, as well as the uses of zeta-function methods in physics and mathematics. Also discussed were gravitation and cosmology models. Additional important topics were: supersymmetry, supergravity, duality, cosmology frustrated, disordered and out of equilibrium systems. |
