    MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS
    Proceedings of the 12th Regional Conference
    Islamabad, Pakistan, 27 March – 1 April 2006

    edited by M Jamil Aslam (COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Pakistan), Faheem Hussain (COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Pakistan), Asghar Qadir (National University of Science & Technology, Pakistan), by Riazuddin (National Centre for Physics, Pakistan), & edited by Hamid Saleem (Pakistan Institute of Nuclear Science & Technology, Pakistan)

    Table of Contents (109k)
    Preface (57k)
    Chapter 1: Noncommutative Geometry: Fuzzy Spaces, the Groenwald-Moyal Plane (309k)

    These proceedings survey the latest developments in a wide area of mathematical physics as presented by internationally renowned experts. The fields surveyed are High Energy Physics, String Theory, Relativity, Astrophysics, Cosmology, Plasma Physics and Formal Aspects of Mathematical Physics. Some of the exciting topics discussed in this volume are fundamental questions about black holes and string theory, supermassive black holes, string theory and the quantum structure of space-time, AdS space-time and holography, the cosmological constant, non-commutative geometry, quantum gravity, symmetries in general relativity, recent developments in neutrino physics and astrophysical plasmas.
