Abstract

What is the role of mathematicsin physics?

We have come to accept, over the past few years, that physics can play a basic conceptual role in stimulating new points of view in mathematics. This can range, on the one hand, from giving technical insights into the proof of a theorem, to motivating, on the other hand, whole new subfields of investigation.
