Colloquium on Variations, Geometry and Physics

Demeter Krupka (http://globanal.upol.cz/krupka.html) has been a major contributor to the geometrical theory of the calculus of variations, and its applications in geometry and physics over the past thirty-five years. The Colloquium in honour of his sixty-fifth birthday will include the following topics:

• Calculus of variations in jet bundles
• Geometric theory of differential equations
• Variational sequences and bicomplexes
• Geometric structures
• Natural bundles and natural operators
• Natural Lagrangian structures
• Geometric and variational methods in physics
