30 Years of Mathematical Methods
in High Energy Physics

March 17-19, 2008 RIMS, Kyoto, Japan

Welcome to the home page of 30 Years of Mathematical Methods in High Energy Physics in honor of Professor Tohru Eguchi's 60th birthday. The conference is jointly hosted by Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics (YITP) and Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences (RIMS); it is also supported by Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) and Inoue Foundation for Science.

The conference venue is the auditorium (room 420) of RIMS, Kyoto University, Japan. Registration starts at 8:30 a.m. Monday March 17.

Program Theme

In the past 30 years, theoretical high energy physics has made remarkable progress in gauge theories, quantum gravity, superstring theory, and related mathematics. It has also inspired progress in other areas of science such as condensed matter physics and pure mathematics. However its central quest is in the search for the fundamental laws of physics, and to answer some of the most basic questions of science, which includes the origin and the fate of the universe.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the discovery of the Eguchi-Hanson instanton and the 60th birthday of Tohru Eguchi. This international conference will look back on the progress of the past 30 years and to foresee the next 30 years. We anticipate that the event will be an occasion to exchange the latest exciting ideas on string theory, gauge theory, and gravity, in which Eguchi has played an important role.
