Chères et chers collègues,
Nous avons le plaisir d'annoncer le workshop "Identity, Individuality and Indistinguishability in Physics and Mathematics" (IIIW21), qui se tiendra du 6 au 8 octobre 2021, de 14h à 17h UTC. En raison de la situation sanitaire, le workshop se déroulera en ligne, en anglais, sur inscription avant le 30 septembre prochain sur le site dédié : https://sites.google.com/view/iiiw-21/registration Vous trouverez en pièce jointe le flyer du colloque. Au plaisir de vous y accueillir, bien cordialement, Les organisateurs . . . Aims and scope The aim of the workshop is to gather experts coming from philosophy, physics, and mathematics to discuss the notions of identity, individuality and indistinguishability from philosophical, historical, and scientific standpoints. In particular, the workshop is intended to provide an update with respect to the state of the art of the corresponding debates, and to prospectively explore different avenues of research. Some of the main topics included in the workshop are : – The current debates around the principle of identity of indiscernibles (and the so called « problem of identity » in mathematical structuralism). – The problem of understanding quantum indistinguishability and the quasi-set theoretic framework proposed to deal with this notion. – The far-reaching reconceptualizations of the notions of equality and identity brought forward by category theory and homotopy type theory. Speakers – Jonas R. Becker Arenhart (Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Brasil) – Tomasz Bigaj (University of Warsaw, Poland) – Otavio Bueno (University of Miami, US) – Dennis Dieks (Utrecht University, The Netherlands) – José Acacio de Barros (San Francisco State University, US) – Federico Holik (Instituto de Física La Plata-CONICET, Argentina) – Ruth Kastner (University of Maryland, College Park, US) – Décio Krause (Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Brasil) – James Ladyman (University of Bristol, UK) – Olimpia Lombardi (CONICET, Argentina) – Jean-Pierre Marquis (Université de Montreal) – Simon Saunders (University of Oxford, UK) – Stewart Shapiro (The Ohio State University, US) Sponsors Laboratoire International Associé (LIA) : Identities, Forces, Chaos, Quanta (Laboratoire SPHERE - Sciences, Philosophie, Histoire, Université Paris Diderot-CNRS).
