This is a conference in memory of the prominent Bulgarian theoretical physicist Ivan Todorov, organized by the Institute for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy (INRNE) and the International Center for Mathematical Sciences at the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics (ICMS-IMI) of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS).
Ivan Todorov has had many fruitful collaborations with prominent mathematicians and mathematical physicists. His numerous accomplishments - in the areas of quantum field theory, elementary particle physics and quantum symmetries - have achieved international recognition.
The conference aims to encompass a wide range of modern topics at the intersection of physics and mathematics, as well as to bring together close collaborators of Ivan Todorov and scientists whose research has been particularly influenced by him.
