International Workshop
"PHYSICAL VARIABLES IN GAUGE THEORIES"

The central themes of the workshop will include: extracting the true degrees of freedom in constrained dynamics; identifying the correct variables in the infra-red domain; studies of quantisation, renormalisation and the renormalisation group for the physical degrees of freedom; the incorporation of nonperturbative and topological structures into the construction of the true degrees of freedom; investigations of permitted boundary conditions and gauge structures in non-abelian gauge theories; studies of the interaction between physical variables; the impact of such variables upon phenomenology and their implications for descriptions of all aspects of the standard model and its immediate extensions.

This workshop will take place immediately before the International Bogolyubov Conference on Problems of Theoretical and Mathematical Physics (September 27 - October 6, Moscow-Dubna-Kiev) .

• Constrained Dynamics and the True Degrees of Freedom
• Quantisation and Renormalisation of Gauge Theories
• Infra-Red Limit of Gauge Theories
• Global Observables and Non-Perturbative Methods
• Physical Variables and Phenomenology
