MLCW01 - Symmetry, bifurcation and order parameters
7th - 11th January 2013
Isaac Newton Institute, 20 Clarkson Road, Cambridge CB3 0HE

A standard accommodation package is available at Fitzwilliam College for £475, which includes a registration fee, bed & breakfast accommodation from the evening of Sunday 6 January 2013 to breakfast on Saturday 12 January 2013, together with lunches and refreshments during the days that lectures take place. The formal dinner is also included.

This workshop in the first week of the Programme has two main aims:
To set the stage for the Programme as a whole, with an introduction to basic models, methods and results as well as outstanding problems, and to bring together researchers working in the field of liquid crystals with mathematicians working on bifurcation theory and geometric mechanics with emphasis on symmetry.
The goal is to inspire mathematicians to work on problems related to liquid crystals, and to introduce liquid crystal experts to new approaches and geometric techniques from bifurcation theory. With these aims in view, the talks will generally have an expository flavour as appropriate for an audience of mathematicians and physicists with diverse backgrounds.

It is anticipated that both the concepts and the interactions initiated at this workshop will continue to develop throughout the Programme, resulting in collaborations and the exploration of new areas.
