Special issue on Quantum Theory and Symmetries

Abstract

This is a call for contributions to a special issue of Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical dedicated to the subject of Quantum Theory and Symmetries as featured in the conference `5th International Symposium on Quantum Theory and Symmetries', University of Valladolid, Spain, July 22–28 2007 (http://tristan.fam.cie.uva.es/~qts5/). Invited speakers at that meeting as well as other researchers working in the field are invited to submit a research paper to this issue. Please note that papers from speakers presenting contributed talks will be published separately in a volume of Journal of Physics Conference Series.Editorial policyThe Editorial Board has invited Manuel Gadella, José Manuel Izquierdo, Sengül Kuru, Javier Negro and Mariano A del Olmo to serve as Guest Editors for the special issue. Their criteria for the acceptance of contributions are as follows:•The subject of the paper should relate to the subject of the workshop (see list of topics in the website of the conference http://tristan.fam.cie.uva.es/~qts5/)•Contributions will be refereed and processed according to the usual procedure of the journal.•Conference papers may be based on already published work but should either(a) contain significant additional new results and/or insights or(b) give a survey of the present state of the art, a critical assessment of the present understanding of a topic, and a discussion of open problems.•Papers submitted by non-participants should be original and contain substantial new results.Guidelines for preparation of contributions•The deadline for contributed papers will be 30 October 2007. This deadline will allow the special issue to appear in June 2008.•There is a nominal page limit of 16 printed pages (approximately 9600 words) per contribution. For papers exceeding this limit, the Guest Editors reserve the right to request a reduction in length. Further advice on publishing your work in Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical may be found at www.iop.org/Journals/jphysa.•Contributions to the special issue should if possible be submitted electronically by web upload at www.iop.org/Journals/jphysa, or by email to jphysa@iop.org, quoting `JPhysA Special Issue—QTS5'. Submissions should ideally be in standard LaTeX form. Please see the website for further information on electronic submissions.•Authors unable to submit electronically may send hard-copy contributions to: Publishing Administrators, Journal of Physics A, Institute of Physics Publishing, Dirac House, Temple Back, Bristol BS1 6BE, UK, enclosing electronic code on floppy disk if available and quoting `JPhysA Special Issue—QTS5'.•All contributions should be accompanied by a read-me file or covering letter giving the postal and email addresses for correspondence. The Publishing Office should be notified of any subsequent change of address.This special issue will be published in the paper and online versions of the journal. Each participant at the workshop and the corresponding author of each contribution will receive a complimentary copy of the issue.
