DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Prof. Dr. Thomas Guhr\, University of Duisburg-Essen
 \, Prof. Dr. Omri Gat\, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem\, Prof. Dr. Kar
 in Everschor-Sitte\, University of Duisburg-Essen\n\n\nIn topology\, prope
 rties of a geometric object are identified which remain unchanged under co
 ntinuous deformations. Those properties are then referred to as topologica
 l invariants. This mathematical concept gains ever more importance in many
  branches of physics\, comprising general relativity\, quantum field theor
 y\, quantum chromodynamics\, condensed matter\, strongly correlated many-b
 ody system\, magnetism\, soft matter physics\, and symmetry classification
  issues. Topological phases of matter have emerged as a far-reaching scien
 tific breakthrough in the 21st century. The topological states were initia
 lly conceived as exotic states that are labeled by topological invariants 
 interpreted as quantum numbers. Furthermore\, the exotic transport propert
 ies exhibited by topological materials have been harnessed for application
 s in quantum technologies\, making topology a very active research topic i
 n quantum information theory and quantum computing. More recently\, topolo
 gical concepts have been studied in an increasingly diverse list of discip
 lines\, also including applications in classical physics such as mechanics
  of elastic and deformable bodies\, nonlinear dynamics\, and biophysics. T
 here are also considerable activites in mathematical physics.This burst of
  interest\, results\, and applications originated in different communities
 \, often without scientific contact or exchange. The resulting fragmentati
 on of the topological physics community makes it hard for scientists to co
 mmunicate their research and keep abreast of new developments.In the propo
 sed Israeli-German Binational Seminar many of the leading researchers in t
 he field in Germany and in Israel will have the opportunity to overcome th
 e standard disciplinary barriers\, and communicate their ideas and form fr
 uitful new collaborations. The purpose is to develop unifying viewpoints\,
  terminologies and approaches.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe conference language will be 
 English. The Wilhelm and Else Heraeus-Foundation bears the cost of full-bo
 ard accommodation for all participants.\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://indico.we-herae
