They propose a broad-based program for theoretical study of                     problems of current interest in condensed matter physics.  The                  major focal points of this program are phase transitions, random                systems, and structure of complex surfaces.  Particular problems                to be addressed include 1) Statistics of fluctuating liquid and                 solid surfaces including their relevance to properties of complex               fluids, 2) Properties of diluted Heisenberg and x-y magnets, 3)                 Phase transitions in spin glasses, 4) New phases in liquid                      crystals, and 5) quantum phase transitions.  These problems pose                questions which are not only of fundamental theroretical                        interest, but also are related to materials and systems of                      current experimental interest, including micoremulsions, high                   temperature superconductors, liquid crystals, spin glasses,                     helical magnets, and nitrogen adsorbed on graphite.
