All lectures (except Alex Tsvelik's one on Thursday 15.40) will take place in the Department of Mathematics Commons Room (4-125) on the fourth floor of the Math tower and close to my office (C142b) on the bridge between the Math building and the Physics Building. The long afternoon break also takes place in 4-125. Alex Tsvelik's will present his lecture in the Nuclear Theory Common room (C133b). Morning coffee, both at 8.30 and at 10.15, will be served in the Nuclear Theory Common room as well. For comments and suggestions please contact me at verbaarschot@tonic.physics.sunysb.edu.
