The role of electronic and atomic fluctuations and their                        manifestations in structural and electronic order will be                       examined.  In particular focus will be on the underlying                        microscopic reasons for the existence of the quasicrystalline                   state, the role role of multicenter interactions at the                         confluence of the metal-insulator and liquid-vapor transition, on               possible new pairing mechanisms in both itinerant and localized                 electron systems, and on some new approaaches to the heavy-                     electron problem.  It also seeks to examine the physics of highly               correlated metallic fluids, to address the classical inverse                    problem in which structure is directly used to extract                          fundamental interactions, to pursue through the theory of                       inhomogeneous systems the nature of liquid surfaces and                         interfaces, and to study complex fluids and states of partial                   order.
