1. About the Symposium:

  Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) has been established as the fundamental 
theory of the strong interaction since 1974. Nevertheless, there 
remain lots of interesting problems relating to nonperturbative dynamics 
in the infrared region of QCD such as color confinement, dynamical 
chiral-symmetry breaking and topologies. To understand the nonperturbative 
physics in QCD, effective models and mathematical approaches have been 
studied. In particular, the lattice QCD Monte Carlo simulations have 
been progressed as a useful method for the analysis of nonperturbative QCD.

  The color confinement mechanism is one of the most difficult problems 
remaining in the theoretical particle physics. On the quark confinement, 
the dual superconductor picture first proposed by Nambu in 1974 has been 
reconsidered both in the lattice QCD and in the Seiberg-Witten theory 
for the N=2 SUSY QCD. 

  The purpose of the present Symposium is the mutual understanding of 
the current studies of nonperturbative QCD, especially for the confinement 
mechanism, among the mathematical physics, the lattice QCD physics 
and the quark-hadron physics. This Symposium is the successor of the 
International Workshop on "Color Confinement and Hadrons" (Confinement'95) 
held in March 1995 in Osaka. 


2. Basic plan of the Symposium:

Dates:   	March 7 (Tue.) - March 10 (Fri.), 2000
Place:   	Icho kaikan on the Suita Campus, Osaka University
Expected Size:  about 120-150 participants 

The subjects to be discussed

   Quark Confinement Mechanism 
   Dynamical Chiral-Symmetry Breaking
   Topologies in QCD (Instantons, Monopoles and Vortices)
   Deconfinement Phase Transition
   Role of Duality in SUSY and non-SUSY QCD
   BRST formalism for Confinement
   Nonperturbative Analysis (1/Nc, ladder QCD, AdS/CFT)

                                        The Organizing Committee



1. About the Symposium:
 
   Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) has been established as the fundamental 
theory of the strong interaction since 1974. Nevertheless, there 
remain lots of interesting problems relating to nonperturbative dynamics 
in the infrared region of QCD such as color confinement, dynamical 
chiral-symmetry breaking and topologies. To understand the nonperturbative 
physics in QCD, effective models and mathematical approaches have been 
studied. In particular, the lattice QCD Monte Carlo simulations have 
been progressed as a useful method for the analysis of nonperturbative QCD.

   The color confinement mechanism is one of the most difficult problems 
remaining in the theoretical particle physics. On the quark confinement, 
the dual superconductor picture first proposed by Nambu in 1974 has been 
reconsidered both in the lattice QCD and in the Seiberg-Witten theory 
for the N=2 SUSY QCD. 

   The purpose of the present Symposium is the mutual understanding of 
the current studies of nonperturbative QCD, especially for the confinement 
mechanism, among the mathematical physics, the lattice QCD physics 
and the quark-hadron physics. This Symposium is the successor of the 
International Workshop on "Color Confinement and Hadrons" (Confinement'95) 
held in March 1995 in Osaka. 


2. Basic plan of the Symposium:

Date :    March 7 (Tue.) - March 10 (Fri.), 2000
Place:    Icho-Kaikan (3rd floor) in Suita Campus, Osaka University
Expected Size:  about 120-150 participants 

   There will be plenary sessions for invited talkers, parallel sessions 
for selected talks, and poster sessions.  The dead line of the contribution 
for oral sessions is 9th February 2000. All registered contributors will 
be notified of whether the presentation has been accepted for oral or 
poster sessions by 10th February 2000. 

The subjects to be discussed

   Quark Confinement Mechanism 
   Dynamical Chiral-Symmetry Breaking
   Topologies in QCD (Instantons, Monopoles and Vortices)
   Deconfinement Phase Transition
   Role of Duality in SUSY and non-SUSY QCD
   BRST formalism for Confinement
   Nonperturbative Analysis (1/Nc, ladder QCD, AdS/CFT)

　今回は 種々の事情から ポスター・セッションを 特別に設けることは
やめにして、代わりに 登壇者を極力多くしました。
　また、ポスター用のボードを 幾つか会場付近に用意し、どの参加者でも 
気軽にポスターや論文（の拡大コピー） 等を貼って、自身の研究を 紹介
できるようなスペースを設けたいと思います。
　院生やポスドクの方は、是非ともポスターや論文（の拡大コピー）を
用意して来てください。 勿論、登壇者の方々のポスターや論文掲示も
歓迎致します。わからなかった 式やグラフの意味などが、講演後に理解
できたりするなど 非常に有効だと思います。
　とにかく、Coffee Break 等が より一層 活気付くと思います。
（因みに、トラペンのコピーの配布は 原則として行ないません。実際は 
後から読みかえすことは稀なようですし、何より当人に聞けばいいんです。）

  On the accommodation at JICA, we are preparing the single room.  
If you have any accompanying person, please contact to the organizer
through the e-mail, conf2000__AT__rcnp.osaka-u.ac.jp.  

  In this Symposium, we cease to have the poster session.
Instead, we will prepare the poster boards at the symposium hall, 
and all of the participants will be allowed to show their posters 
or papers during the symposium. 
  Please prepare your posters or papers, if you would like to show 
your studies. It must be a good opportunity for the discussion.
  We hope fruitful discussions at Coffee Break.

  We are looking forward to seeing you at the Symposium.

                                        The Organizing Committee


1. About the Symposium:
 
   Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) has been established as the fundamental 
theory of the strong interaction since 1974. Nevertheless, there 
remain lots of interesting problems relating to nonperturbative dynamics 
in the infrared region of QCD such as color confinement, dynamical 
chiral-symmetry breaking and topologies. To understand the nonperturbative 
physics in QCD, effective models and mathematical approaches have been 
studied. In particular, the lattice QCD Monte Carlo simulations have 
been progressed as a useful method for the analysis of nonperturbative QCD.

   The color confinement mechanism is one of the most difficult problems 
remaining in the theoretical particle physics. On the quark confinement, 
the dual superconductor picture first proposed by Nambu in 1974 has been 
reconsidered both in the lattice QCD and in the Seiberg-Witten theory 
for the N=2 SUSY QCD. 

   The purpose of the present Symposium is the mutual understanding of 
the current studies of nonperturbative QCD, especially for the confinement 
mechanism, among the mathematical physics, the lattice QCD physics 
and the quark-hadron physics. This Symposium is the successor of the 
International Workshop on "Color Confinement and Hadrons" (Confinement'95) 
held in March 1995 in Osaka. 


2. Basic plan of the Symposium:

Date :    March 7 (Tue.) - March 10 (Fri.), 2000
Place:    Icho-Kaikan (3rd floor) in Suita Campus, Osaka University
Expected Size:  about 100-120 participants 

   There will be plenary sessions for invited talkers and parallel 
sessions. In this symposium, there is no specific session for the poster 
contributions, however, the poster boards will be used for the 
communication of participants on the physics during the symposium period. 

The subjects to be discussed

   Quark Confinement Mechanism 
   Dynamical Chiral-Symmetry Breaking
   Topologies in QCD (Instantons, Monopoles and Vortices)
   Deconfinement Phase Transition
   Role of Duality in SUSY and non-SUSY QCD
   BRST formalism for Confinement
   Nonperturbative Analysis (1/Nc, ladder QCD, AdS/CFT)
