Dear colleagues,

It is my great pleasure to inform you of the upcoming*2016 CRM SUMMER
SCHOOL on Spectral theory and applications*,  to be held at Université
Laval in Quebec City, July 4  - 14, 2016.

The goal of the 2016 CRM Summer School in Quebec City is to prepare
students for research involving spectral theory. The school will give an
overview of a selection of topics from spectral theory, interpreted in a
broad sense. It will cover topics from pure and applied mathematics,
each of which will be presented in a 5-hour mini-course by a leading
expert. These lectures will be complemented by supervised computer labs
and exercise sessions. At the end of the school, invited speakers will
give specialized talks. This rich subject intertwines several
sub-disciplines of mathematics, and it will be especially beneficial to
students. The subject is also very timely, as spectral theory is
witnessing major progress both in its mathematical sub-disciplines and
in its applications to technology and science in general.

*The school is intended for **advanced undergraduate students.* As such,
the prerequisites will be kept a minimum. Students will be housed on
campus in the university dormitories.*

Financial support will be available for a limited number of students, on
a competitive basis.* Students who would like to participate are asked
to send their resume and have a letter of reference sent for them to
QuebecCRMschool2016 at mat.ulaval.ca.

*The application procedure is described on the website, and the deadline
for application is April 15, 2016.*

The confirmed speakers for the school are

Ram Band (Technion) -- Spectral Graph Theory
Yaiza Canzani (Harvard) -- Spectral Geometry
Richard Froese (UBC) -- Quantum Mechanics
Felix Kwok (Hong Kong) -- Numerical Methods
Richard Laugesen (Illinois) -- Spectrum of Elliptic Operators
Thomas Ransford (Laval) -- Fundamental Spectral Theory

The full program including the shorter talks schedule will be announced
later.
