ZBIGNIEW OZIEWICZ University of Wroclaw, Poland December 1992 The First Max Born Symposium in Theoretical and Mathematical Phy sics, organized by the University of Wrodaw, was held in September 1991 with the intent that it would become an annual event.
This volume contains the lectures given at the Second Max Born Symposium held near Wroclaw in Poland in September 1992. The various authoritative contributions provide an review of recent developments in the field and embrace the following topics: spin structures; the interrelations between Cartan's and Chevalley's theory of spinors, Clifford algebras and particle models; the interrelations between twistors, supersymmetry and phase spaces; quantum deformations; noncommutative Hopf algebras; noncommutative calculus and its applications in electrodynamics and in gauge theory; and deformed Clifford algebras and Z3-graded algebras. For researchers and graduate students in mathematical and theoretical physics.
