Workshop

Speakers: Sigbjørn Løland Bore, Håkon Fredheim, Trygve Helgaker, Gautam Jha, Simen Kvaal, Thomas Bondo Pedersen, and Erik Tellgren.

The workshop was attended by roughly 50 scientists from Europe, USA, and India. Over 4 days, 41 lectures were presented, including the following 7 by Hylleraas members:

  • Sigbjørn Løland Bore: Why is ice so slippery?
  • Håkon Fredheim: A novel mathematical framework for DFT and RDMFT
  • Trygve Helgaker: The four-way correspondence of density-functional theory
  • Gautam Jha: Kinetic energy tensors: Importance of anisotropy in chemical analysis
  • Simen Kvaal: A mathematical approach to coupled-cluster theory
  • Thomas Bondo Pedersen: Mean-field theory of ultrafast laser-driven quantum dynamics in positronium chloride
  • Erik Tellgren: Recent results on the regularized Hohenberg-Kohn mapping as well as generalization of the Electron Localization Function

Organizers

The workshop was organized as part of the ERC StG project “REGAL” led by Hylleraas adjunct Andre Laestadius.
