Preface
This book is the proceedings volume of the Symposium Quantum Theory and
Symmetries-XI (QTS-XI) that was held in Montréal from July 1st to 5th, 2019.
The symposium consisted of nine sessions including a special session in honour
of Professor Decio Levi of the University Roma Tre and the sessions: Algebraic
Methods, Condensed Matter Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation, Integrability,
Non-perturbative QFT, Particle Physics, Quantum Computing and Quantum Information Theory and String Theory/AdS-CFT. Each session was associated with one
or two plenary speakers followed by parallel sessions with speakers of invited and
contributed talks. For complete information, please visit the website: http://www.
crm.umontreal.ca/2019/QTS2019/index_e.php. Several of the plenary speakers and
many of the invited and contributing speakers have supplied a contribution to this
proceedings volume. It is intended for use by students, researchers and professors
in a wide range of fields from mathematical physics to more mainstream physics as
evinced by the topics of the various parallel sessions. It should allow the reader to
grasp the breadth and scope of the vast field of quantum theory and symmetries.
As these proceedings were being completed, our dear colleague, mentor and
friend Pavel Winternitz passed away. We wish to dedicate this volume to him in
recognition of his scientific legacy and as an expression of our gratitude.
