At the end of the workshop on "New Theoretical Concepts in Physical
Chemistry," one of the participants made an attempt to present a
first impression of its achievements from his own personal
standpoint. Appar ently his views reflected a general feeling, so
that the organizers thought they would be suitable as a
presentation of the proceedings for future readers. That is the
background from which this foreword was born. The scope of the
workshop is a very broad one. There are contribu tions from
mathematics, physics, crystallography, chemistry and biology; the
problems are approached either by means of axiomatic and rigorous
methods, or at an empirical phenomenological level. This same
diversifi cation can be found in the new basic concepts presented.
Some arise from pure theoretical investigation in C*-algebra or in
quantum probability theory; others from an analysis of very complex
experimental data like nuclear energy levels, or processes on the
frontier between classical and quantum physics; others again have
their origin in the discovery of new ordered structures like the
icosahedral crystal phases, or the knots of DNA molecules; others
follow from the application of ideas like frac tals or chaos to new
fields like spectral theory or chemical reactions. It is to be
expected that readers will have to face the same sort of
difficulties as did the participants in understanding such diverse
languages, in applying themselves to subjects possibly far from
their own experience, and in grasping highly sophisticated new
concepts."
