Exact solutions in classical field theory: Solitons, black holes and boson stars – Workshop in honour of Yves Brihaye
A two-day workshop brought to Mons the main collaborators of Professor Yves Brihaye, former head of the Research Unit of Theoretical and Mathematical Physics and currently Professor Emeritus in the Unit Physics of the Univers, Fields and Gravitation.
The workshop took place in the Mirzakhani room of the building de Vinci with the following schedule:
