This award will support U.S. participation in a U.S.-French seminar             on the topic of infinite-dimensional symmetries in physics and                  mathematics, to be held in Paris, France in June 1989.  The U.S.                organizer is Dr. I. M. Singer of the Massachusetts Institute of                 Technology.  The French counterpart is Professor J. P. Bourguignon,             Centre de Mathematiques, Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau.                                                                                                        The seminar will provide the opportunity for exchange between U.S.              and French mathematicians and physicists on a number of topics of               critical interest in contemporary mathematics and theoretical                   physics.  Among the subjects for discussion are:                                                                                                                1)  The representations of the Virasoro algebra, the super Virasoro                 algebra, and affine Lie algebras; their BRST cohomology;                        extensions to arbitrary Riemann surfaces; non-linear                            generalizations of the conformal and superconformal algebras.                                                                                               2)  The classification of conformally invariant field theories;                     integrable systems, quantum groups.                                                                                                                         3)  Supermoduli spaces, superintegration, supercompactifications,                   and universal moduli spaces; multi-loop string diagrams.                                                                                                    4)  The supercharge operator, its index, and relation to elliptic                   homology.                                                                                                                                                   5)  Superstring theories, sigma-models, coset spaces, attempts to                   resum the perturbation series; fine tuning problems and                         particle phenomenology, Planck-length physics.  New string                      theories based on interacting world-sheet dynamics.
