The conference is entitled "Harmonic Analysis and Applications " The activities will focus on commutative and non commutative harmonic analysis, analysis on homogeneous spaces, representation theory, hypergroups, special functions and the interplay between these fields. It is planned as a forum for scientific and fruitful exchange of new ideas in these different areas. We hope that this conference will gather different people in Tunisia working on Harmonic Analysis and some experts from several corners of the world. Young researchers are particularly invited to attend the event and even encouraged to present their recent works and to discuss their subjects with experts. We shall organize some twenty minutes contributed talks especially for that purpose. Invited Speakers: S. Ben Said (Nancy) C. Berg (Copenhagen) A. Bouaziz (Poitiers) Ph. Bougerol (Paris VI) J. L.

Dr Vadim B. Kuznetsov (University of Leeds, UK), an expert in integrable systems, died on 16 December 2005, aged 42. Click http://www.ams.org/mathscinet-getauth?mrauthid=252000&return=viewitems&l=100 to get a listing of Vadim Kuznetsov's papers from the AMS MathSciNet. We invite researchers working in integrable systems and related areas to submit a paper to this issue. The papers should have connection with the fields Vadim was interested in. The papers will be published after peer review. We will greatly appreciate it if you present not only a research paper but also some recollections about Vadim, if you knew him personally. The journal SIGMA (Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications) is an online free access journal: http://www.emis.de/journals/SIGMA/ Submitting a paper to the journal can be performed in two easy ways: you can submit the paper to the arXiv.org and send the archive number to sigma@imath.kiev.ua or send the zipped paper in TeX/LaTeX format directly to sigma@imath.kiev.ua (please include a PDF or PostScript file as well). The journal style and sample article can be downloaded here: http://www.emis.de/journals/SIGMA/example.zip The length of an article is not limited. Deadline for submission is November 1, 2006.

Topic #5 ----------- OP-SF NET 13.3 ------------- May 15, 2006 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: Tom Koornwinder Subject: SASTRA Ramunujan Prize From the web site: http://www.math.ufl.edu/sastra-prize/ 2006 SASTRA RAMANUJAN PRIZE Call for Nominations The Shanmugha Arts, Science, Technology, Research Academy (SASTRA), based in the state of Tamil Nadu in South India, has instituted the SASTRA Ramanujan Prize of $10,000 to be given annually to a mathematician not exceeding the age of 32 for outstanding contributions in an area of mathematics influenced by the late Indian mathematical genius Srinivasa Ramanujan. The age limit has been set at 32 because Ramanujan achieved so much in his brief life of 32 years. The prize will be awarded each year at an international conference conducted by SASTRA in Kumbakonam, Ramanujan's hometown, around Ramanujan's birthday, December 22. The First SASTRA Ramanujan Prizes were awarded on Dec 20, 2005. Nominations are now sought for the 2006 SASTRA Ramanujan Prize. The winner will be invited to give a talk at the SASTRA conference Dec 21-23, 2006, and receive the prize. Nominations for the 2006 SASTRA Ramanujan Prize must be made by July 31, 2006. A panel of experts will select the winner from the nominations. The announcement of the winner is expected around September 30. The person making the nomination must assemble the vita of the nominee, some selected papers, and three letters supporting the nomination and send these to SASTRA Ramanujan Prize Department of Mathematics University of Florida Gainesville, FL 32611, USA or to sastraprize@math.ufl.edu by July 31, 2006.

The Group also includes engineers and scientists, students as well as experts. We have around 140 members scattered about in more than 20 countries. Whatever your specialty might be, we welcome your participation in this classical, and yet modern, topic. Our WWW home page is: http://math.nist.gov/opsf/ This is a convenient point of entry to all the services provided by the Group. Our Webmaster is Bonita Saunders (bonita.saunders@nist.gov). The Activity Group sponsors OP-SF NET, which is transmitted periodically by SIAM. It is provided as a free public service; membership in SIAM is not required. The OP-SF Net Editors are Diego Dominici (dominicd@newpaltz.edu) and Martin Muldoon (muldoon@yorku.ca). To receive the OP-SF NET, send your name and email address to poly-request@siam.org. Back issues can be obtained at the WWW addresses: http://staff.science.uva.nl/~thk/opsfnet http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/JAT/DATA/OPSFNET/opsfnet.html http://math.nist.gov/opsfnet/archive For several years the Activity Group sponsored a printed Newsletter, most recently edited by Rafael Yanez. Back issues are accessible at: http://www.mathematik.uni-kassel.de/~koepf/siam.html Given the widespread availability of email and the Internet, the need for the printed Newsletter has decreased. Discussions are underway concerning whether an annual printed Newsletter or Annual Report should be instituted.

The conference is entitled "Harmonic Analysis and Applications " The activities will focus on commutative and non commutative harmonic analysis, analysis on homogeneous spaces, representation theory, hypergroups, special functions and the interplay between these fields. It is planned as a forum for scientific and fruitful exchange of new ideas in these different areas. We hope that this conference will gather different people in Tunisia working on Harmonic Analysis and some experts from several corners of the world. Young researchers are particularly invited to attend the event and even encouraged to present their recent works and to discuss their subjects with experts. We shall organize some twenty minutes contributed talks especially for that purpose. Invited Speakers: S. Ben Said (Nancy) C. Berg (Copenhagen) A. Bouaziz (Poitiers) Ph. Bougerol (Paris VI) J. L.

Topic #5 ----------- OP-SF NET 13.3 ------------- May 15, 2006 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: Tom Koornwinder Subject: SASTRA Ramunujan Prize From the web site: http://www.math.ufl.edu/sastra-prize/ 2006 SASTRA RAMANUJAN PRIZE Call for Nominations The Shanmugha Arts, Science, Technology, Research Academy (SASTRA), based in the state of Tamil Nadu in South India, has instituted the SASTRA Ramanujan Prize of $10,000 to be given annually to a mathematician not exceeding the age of 32 for outstanding contributions in an area of mathematics influenced by the late Indian mathematical genius Srinivasa Ramanujan. The age limit has been set at 32 because Ramanujan achieved so much in his brief life of 32 years. The prize will be awarded each year at an international conference conducted by SASTRA in Kumbakonam, Ramanujan's hometown, around Ramanujan's birthday, December 22. The First SASTRA Ramanujan Prizes were awarded on Dec 20, 2005. Nominations are now sought for the 2006 SASTRA Ramanujan Prize. The winner will be invited to give a talk at the SASTRA conference Dec 21-23, 2006, and receive the prize. Nominations for the 2006 SASTRA Ramanujan Prize must be made by July 31, 2006. A panel of experts will select the winner from the nominations. The announcement of the winner is expected around September 30. The person making the nomination must assemble the vita of the nominee, some selected papers, and three letters supporting the nomination and send these to SASTRA Ramanujan Prize Department of Mathematics University of Florida Gainesville, FL 32611, USA or to sastraprize@math.ufl.edu by July 31, 2006.

The Group also includes engineers and scientists, students as well as experts. We have around 140 members scattered about in more than 20 countries. Whatever your specialty might be, we welcome your participation in this classical, and yet modern, topic. Our WWW home page is: http://math.nist.gov/opsf/ This is a convenient point of entry to all the services provided by the Group. Our Webmaster is Bonita Saunders (bonita.saunders@nist.gov). The Activity Group sponsors OP-SF NET, which is transmitted periodically by SIAM. It is provided as a free public service; membership in SIAM is not required. The OP-SF Net Editors are Diego Dominici (dominicd@newpaltz.edu) and Martin Muldoon (muldoon@yorku.ca). To receive the OP-SF NET, send your name and email address to poly-request@siam.org. Back issues can be obtained at the WWW addresses: http://staff.science.uva.nl/~thk/opsfnet http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/JAT/DATA/OPSFNET/opsfnet.html http://math.nist.gov/opsfnet/archive For several years the Activity Group sponsored a printed Newsletter, most recently edited by Rafael Yanez. Back issues are accessible at: http://www.mathematik.uni-kassel.de/~koepf/siam.html Given the widespread availability of email and the Internet, the need for the printed Newsletter has decreased. Discussions are underway concerning whether an annual printed Newsletter or Annual Report should be instituted. SIAM has several categories of membership, including low-cost categories for students and residents of developing countries. For current information on SIAM and Activity Group membership, contact: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics 3600 University City Science Center Philadelphia, PA 19104-2688 USA phone: +1-215-382-9800 email: service@siam.org WWW : http://www.siam.org http://www.siam.org/membership/outreachmem.htm Finally, the Activity Group operates an email discussion group, called OP-SF Talk.
