The interaction between geometry and theoretical physics has often
been very fruitful. A highlight in this century was Einstein's
creation of the theory of general relativity. Equally impressive
was the recognition, starting from the work of Yang and Mills and
culminating in the Weinberg-Salam theory of the electroweak
interaction and quantum chromodynamics, that the fundamental
interactions of elementary particles are governed by gauge fields,
which in ma thematical terms are connections in principal fibre
bundles. Theoretical physi cists became increasingly aware of the
fact that the use of modern mathematical methods may be necessary
in the treatment of problems of physical interest. Since some of
these topics are covered at most summarily in the usual curricu
lum, there is a need for extra-curricular efforts to provide an
opportunity for learning these techniques and their physical
applications. In this context we arranged a meeting at the
Physikzentrum Bad Ronnef 12-16 February 1990 on the subject
"Geometry and Theoretical Physics," in the series of physics
schools organized by the German Physical Society. The participants
were graduate students from German universities and research
institutes. Since the meeting occurred only a short time after
freedom of travel between East and West Germany became a reality,
this was for many from the East the first opportunity to attend a
scientific meeting in the West, and for many from the West the
first chance to become personally acquainted with colleagues from
the East."
