II Summer Workshop on Mathematical Physics

    ℳathematical Physics is an area of mathematical research closely linked to the history of the Department of Mathematics (DMat) at Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE). The Department originated from the Instituto de Física e Matemática (IFM) at Universidade do Recife, which was created in 1954 under the leadership of prof. Luiz Freire. Among the first publications of the IFM is a book in Mathematical Physics by prof. Freire entitled Bases para uma Axiomática da Termodinâmica. From 1962 to 1974, prof. Ruy Luis Gomes, whose research focused on Mathematical Physics and Analysis, was the leading figure in DMat. It is noteworthy that earlier in his career, prof. Gomes occupied the chair of Mathematical Physics at University of Porto in Portugal (his native country), and had a remarkable life in both science and politics, even running for the presidency of the republic. Since the late 1970's, DMat has been specially active in Celestial Mechanics, with a significant internationalization lead by prof. Hildeberto Cabral during the 1990s and early 2000s. The II Summer Workshop on Mathematical Physics (II SWMP) at UFPE  is an addition to over half a century of efforts to develop Mathematical Physics, with an emphasis on Classical and Celestial Mechanics, in Northeastern Brazil. The I Summer Workshop on Mathematical Physics occurred in March, 2024, and was part of the 55th Summer Program of the Department of Mathematics. The II Summer Workshop on Mathematical Physics is part of the 57th Summer Program of the Department of Mathematics and is scheduled to be held on January 28 (in the auditorium of the Statistics Department), and 29 (in Room 209 of the DMat), 2026.  We acknowledge the ample support of the organizers of the 57th Summer Program DMat-UFPE for the realization of the II SWMP.
