Non-Perturbative Methods Workshop Program
Program for the
Workshop on Nonperturbative Methods in Quantum Field Theory
February 2 - February 13 1998
Except for Monday the 2nd of February, the first talk of each day is scheduled for 60 minutes (50 minutes + 10 minutes discussion), the second for 30 + 10 minutes and the last two for 20 + 10 minutes.
