Proceedings of the Workshop “Elliptic Integrable Systems, Isomonodromy Problems, and Hypergeometric Functions” (July 21−25, 2008, MPIM, Bonn)

The Guest Editors for this special issue are

Masatoshi Noumi (Kobe University, Japan)
Eric M. Rains (California Institute of Technology, USA)
Hjalmar Rosengren (Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg, Sweden)
Vyacheslav P. Spiridonov (Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, Russia)

The topics include:

• elliptic completely integrable systems;
• elliptic Painlevé equation;
• elliptic hypergeometric functions;
• univariate and multivariate elliptic biorthogonal functions;
• elliptic determinants and theta functions on root systems.

Papers from the participants and from other authors whose work fits into the topics of the workshop are welcome for this issue.

How to Submit an Article to the Issue.

The length of an article is not limited. Deadline for paper submission is December 1, 2008.

Publication will be done only on the results of the peer review according to refereeing policy of SIGMA. We would like to stress that SIGMA does not distinguish between regular papers and the proceedings contributions: they will be refereed by at least two referees within the usual procedure of the journal. Only the papers containing new results that were not published or submitted elsewhere are accepted for consideration. Review papers will also be welcome, but they should not be simply reviews of authors' own work that is already published elsewhere.

If you have your paper ready earlier than the deadline, we encourage you to send it now. We will start the reviewing process and publish the paper as soon as the positive publication decision is made. The paper will be indexed in the relevant databases as soon as it is published without waiting for completion of the special issue.
