Symmetry And Structural Properties Of Condensed Matter, Proceedings Of The 7th International School On Theoretical Physics (Sspcm 2002)

This volume is the seventh in a series of proceedings on theoretical physics related to various aspects of the structure of condensed matter and to appropriate mathematical methods for adequate description. Three main topics are considered: conformal symmetry, central charge, condensation of flux; rigged string configurations, Yang-Baxter equations and their applications in solid state physics; and energy band structure in solids.
