Foreword

The XXV International Colloquium on Group Theoretical Methods in Physics took place in
Cocoyoc, Mexico, the first week of August 2004. It is the second time that the well-known
‘Group Colloquium’ alights in Cocoyoc; the IX Colloquium of June 1980 [1] was convened
and chaired by Marcos Moshinsky, who was the Honorary President this time.

This meeting, biannual since 1990, gathers the community of physicists, mathemati­
cians and engineers whose lingua franca is group theory i.e., the methods of symmetry. Large
parts of this mathematical empire were conquered during the twentieth century, but today its
provinces begin to follow autonomous ways and speak with diverging dialects. The ICGTMP
Colloquia mantain the communication between the many topics that matured at the first Co­
coyoc meeting, such as Lie groups, representation theory and special functions, Foundations of
quantum mechanics, Nuclear, atomic and molecular physics, and Elementary particle physics,
with more recent ones such as Supersymmetry, superstrings, and quantum gravity, Integra-
bility, nonlinear systems and quantum chaos, Semigroups, time asymmetry and resonances,
Condensed matter and statistical physics, and with topics that have appeared only during the
last years, particularly Linear and nonlinear optics, Quantum computing, and Discrete systems
and signal analysis.

There are at least two different kinds of settings for prestigious conferences: big cities
and isolated oases. Our itinerant Colloquium has often taken place in historical, large capitals.
Group 25 was sited at the Hotel Hacienda Cocoyoc, a relaxed and fertile environment for full­
time communication, scientific and social. High points of this meeting were the awarding of
the Hermann Weyl Prize to Nikita Nekrasov, and of the Wigner Medal to Erdal Inonu. We had
a concert graciously offered by soprano Agnes Klauder and pianist Mika Fujita, and a banquet
with (loud) music from Chiapas, as well as plenty of time to discuss and reflect.

The XXV ICGTMP was supported by Mexican and international agencies through the
Centro de Ciencias Fisicas UNAM, and the Centro Internacional de Ciencias AC (Cuernavaca).
We are most grateful for the generous grants given by:
Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, through the
Coordination de la Investigation Cientifica, and the
Direction General de Asuntos del Personal Academico,
Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologia,
and (in alphabetic order),
Asociacion Mexicana de Amigos de la Universidad de Tel-Aviv,
Centro Latino-Americano de Fisica,
International Centre for Theoretical Physics,
International Association for Mathematical Physics,
International Union of Pure and Applied Physics, and
National Science Foundation (USA).

There were 131 participants, including 51 Latin Americans, 32 from the USA and
Canada, 24 from Western and 11 from Eastern Europe, 9 from the Middle East, and 4 from
Asia and the Pacific. Among them we had 30 graduate students, including 15 Mexicans and
12 from Northern America.
The XXV ICGTMP organizers abided by the IUPAP policy on Free Circulation of Scien­
tists [2]: “No bona fide scientist shall be excluded from participation on the grounds of national
origin, nationality, or political considerations unrelated to science.” We requested 11 visas for
nationals of “difficult” countries, all of which were granted by the Mexican authorities; this
process consumed a disproportionate amount of the time and energy from the organizers. A
position paper is added to the Roman pages of these Proceedings, where we give our point of
view on the post-9/11 obstructions to free travel for non-first-world scientists.
The Standing Committee of the ICGTMP’s usually allocates the conference site 3^ years
in advance to an ad hoc Local Organizing Committee of distinguished national scientists.
These nominated members of the International Advisory Committee, who in turn proposed
speakers for the plenary sessions, as listed below. There was also a Conference Committee,
which did the hard work of finding funds, mantaining correspondence, reserving rooms, orga­
nizing things, and setting up the program. The administration of the event was shouldered by
Mrs. Magali Posadas; however, the hardest work was done by the Working Group (alphabeti­
cally): Francisco Adolfo Acosta, Guillermo Krotzsch, Anahit Balabekyan, Luis Edgar Vicent,
and Gunnar Wolf & Gabriela Manjarrez, who aided the organizers with chores that included
the transportation of participants from the Mexico City airport, preparing bags or manning pro­
jectors, finding and tuning a piano, and generally keeping the conference running smoothly.
To all of them we express our sincere gratitude.

Morton Hamermesh, Vice President of the Group Theory Foundation

born: Brooklyn, 27 December 1915, Minneapolis

died: Minneapolis, 14 November 2003

We, the participants in this Colloquium, the 25th in the series initiated and animated
by the Group Theory Foundation, are the professional group it so well serves, and have an
intellectual affiliation to the Foundation and its leadership —represented here by Prof. Arno
Bohm, of the University of Texas at Austin. We mourn the death of Morton Hamermesh, ‘our’
Vice-President, who died last winter in Minneapolis of complications from a heart attack.
Scientists are generally remembered for some specific achievement, be it an experiment
(e.g. Michelson), a theory (Einstein), a paradox (Whitehead), an equation (Schrodinger), etc.,
even though they may have produced many other important contributions. Morton Hamermesh
was one of the great masters of Group Theory, with Galois, Abel, Lie, Weyl, Wigner and
Racah, but he will, no doubt, be immortalized by his book, the great classic of Group Theory,
more than by anything else he did (his mathemaical skills were very obvious in his handling
of papers, in his role as editor of the Journal of Mathematical Physics).
Bom in Brooklyn to Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, he always nurtured an
interest in languages (including Hebrew, Russian, and Mandarin) and in Jewish studies. After
undergraduate studies in physics at the City College of New York, and graduate studies at
New York University, he taught physics for about twenty years at both these universities and at
Stanford. This was followed by seventeen years at Argonne National Laboratory, including the
final two years as Deputy Director. In 1965 he joined the University of Minnesota, where he
stayed until his retirement in 1985. He headed the University School of Physics and Astronomy
from 1970 until 1975. In Physics, his most important contribution was his analysis of the
xii

phenomenology of neutron scattering off various materials, and its reflection of the nuclear
physics in general and especially of the nuclear structure of the target material. This analysis
and the resulting tables were published in a series of papers throughout the years 1939-1946.
Yet another very personal contribution to Science and to Culture was Hamermesh’s
worry and efforts for the preservation and development of East-West relations throughout the
Cold War. He launched the English translation of the Landau-Lifshits series and of other im­
portant works from the East. Hamermesh was also one of the first American scholars who
taught in China. In one case I benefitted personally, as it was his advertising of Dynkin’s work
that brought it to my attention, helping me in the search for an algebraic methodology that
might provide a key to the classification of the hadrons. It helped by offering a more transpar­
ent presentation of the classification of the semi-simple Lie algebras than the one provided by
Cartan in his 1899 thesis.
Morton Hamermesh is survived by his wife Madeline, a daughter and two sons, six
grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

University
P.S. I add a cultural-ethnic comment about the name of Professor Hamermesh, because I am
certain he would have been interested himself, since he also published in Hebrew.
His first name, Morton, is one of the set of names given by Jewish immigrants in the
USA to their children born in 1900-1930. Jewish children in the Diaspora receive a Hebrew
name at their circumcision, to which one adds a (local) gentile name with the same initial. In
the USA, many families availed themselves of the exceptional freedom allowed by the laws as
to the onomasticon, and gave names which were originally derived from family-names, rather
than being forced to pick the name of a Christian saint listed in the calendar of most Catholic
countries. This is the reason behind the use of names such as Marvin, Melvin, Milton, Morton,
Murray (coupled to Moshe, i.e. Moses) or Nelson, Norman (for Nathan) or Stanley, Sydney
(for Shlomo) etc.
The name Hamermesh is a Polonization of the German Hammer (meaning obvious) and
Messing (brass). In Polish it was Hamermesz. In the late 18th century Morton’s grandfa­
ther’s great-grandfather had recently emigrated from the German-speaking part of Europe to
Staszow, Poland, where he was to help organize a brass foundry. This was the time when
many families in Europe adopted family names; and in many countries many of these names
(for examples, Carpenter, Smith and others) were linked to occupations. The Hamermeshes
were no different from countless other Jewish and non-Jewish families all over Europe at the
time in adopting an occupation-based family name.
Freedom to attend scientific meetings
The IUPAP and ICSU initiatives

Unimpeded travel to attend scientific conferences is presently the subject of worldwide

concern to scientists; here I would like to comment on my recent experience in organizing
the XXV International Colloquium on Group Theoretical Methods in Physics, in Cocoyoc,
Mexico, during the first week of August 2004. Having worked on about a dozen international
meetings over the past 25 years, I believe it may be useful to detail some hurdles and manifest
some thoughts on the post-9/11 situation we face, within the historical context of the previous
decades.
During most of the twentieth century, Mexico was a very hospitable country. From
the mid-1920’s, a steady trickle of immigrants from Europe and the Middle East salted the
Mexican mix of peoples. They settled in a newly stable political regime and participated
in building the growing infrastructure and economy of the nation. President Lazaro Cardenas
opened the doors of the country to tens of thousands of refugees from Republican Spain during
the late 1930’s, including 500 war orphans and a generation of brilliant biologists, medical
doctors, philologists and cinematographers. A decade later, many survivors from the Holocaust
found a new land to live and prosper.
The last wave of welcome refugees occurred after the 9/11/1973 coup in Chile, as the
Southern Cone countries fell one after another under right-wing state terror. This migration
contained a high proportion of writers and scientists, and greatly contributed to Mexican aca­
demic life. In spite of its sui generis internal democracy, Mexico’s foreign policy was widely
respected during the second half of the century; it had kept normal diplomatic relations with
Cuba, maintaining non-intervention as guiding principle, and having an active diplomacy re­
garding the peaceful resolution of controversies — a policy which during the Cold War was
quite brave. In 1982, for his role in achieving the Tlatelolco nuclear non-proliferation treaty
of Latin American countries, Alfonso Garcia Robles was the first Mexican to receive a Nobel
Prize — for Peace. During these decades we often had postdocs and researchers from many
countries visit our universities, and international scientific meetings were held with hardly any
inconvenience.
Human migration has existed before History began, and is likely to continue being a
prime shaper of societies; it is the invisible foot of Adam Smith’s free market for the distribu­
tion of wealth. Efforts to stem the northward flow of the most enterprising individuals from
the Northern half of Latin America have succeeded up to some degree, but at the cost of untold
effort and suffering. With the background of this tide, the occasional travel of scientists should
raise no fear for lowering wages nor for upsetting the ethnic balance of any country. We should
remember that globalization was first and always practiced within the scientific community,
even during the neurotic dichotomy of the Cold War. The twenty-first century opened with
another 9/11, this time in 2001, which has affected our community in unforeseen and insidious
ways.
Restrictions on travel and scientific communication have been slapped up in the name
of protection from terrorist threats and/or mass destruction. In this new regime, contracts of
scientific collaboration have been reduced to naught by the inability of colleagues from some
rogue (and not-so-rogue) countries to return to their jobs, to visit prized institutions, or simply
xiv

to attend scientific conferences in their fields of research. In the latest issue of this Index
Librorum Prohibitorum, even scientific articles originating in Cuba and other select countries
were excluded from U.S. journals, to the dismay of our community. Fortunately, the efforts of
U.S. scientific societies to call their government to better judgment succeeded in this particular
instance, but in other categories the ban is still in force.
Mexico has not proved immune to this paranoia. Homeland security has moved “intelli­
gent borders” from the Rio Grande to the Rio Suchiate, even though it is not clear that there are
sufficient people in the country to man such a thing. In a working session with the Senate Hu­
man Rights Commission, headed by Miguel Sadot, on June 29, 2004, the commissioner of the
Instituto Nacional de Migracion (INM), Magdalena Carral, admitted that her 3,600 employees
are overwhelmed by the 134% increase in the entry-and-exit paperwork, while facing a 6%
reduction in budget [La Jornada 30/6/04, p. 21]. So it comes as no surprise that the INM’s
work is convulsive and often behind schedule.
According to the new entry rules, the countries of the world have been divided into three
categories: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly —better call them A, B, and C. For the latter
(which include India, China, Russia and all former Soviet republics, Cuba, Colombia, and
other equally good friends), all visa requests must be initiated from Mexico, and sponsored
by an individual (the conference chairman or some other trusty Mexican soul), who will be
personally responsible for any misdeeds or accidents in which a C-professor may indulge.
The organizers of scientific meetings had to fill and sign 3 forms (with lengthy, overlapping,
and some mistranslated entries), covered by 3 distinct cover letters in Spanish (English not
spoken), plus 2 in English for the benefit of the visitor, plus faxes and/or courier mails to the
corresponding consulates (just to make sure that they do not misplace the diplomatic valise).
All this activity ends up being hectic and exhausting, and costs time not only to the good INM
employees who try to do their best, but also for the scientific organizers and their institutes. Of
course, any lurking terrorist will be deterred by this impregnable wall of paper, and so will a
much greater number of innocent scientists.
The free movement of scientists for the purpose of international collaboration is one of
the most important aims of the International Union for Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP), and
a requisite to obtain its sponsorship. We, the organizers of the XXV ICGTMP colloquium ad­
hered to the declarations of the International Conference of Scientific Unions (ICSU), as stated
in the ICSU Document Universality of Science (sixth edition, 1989, see www. i c s u . org). Mex­
ico is signatory to these agreements and was therefore expected to abide by them, in particular
that individuals will not be excluded solely on ground of national origin. All requested visas
were granted for XXV ICGTMP participants, and we did see the bureaucratic process being
speeded up for the submissions that started with less than the stated 6 weeks of anticipation;
however, at no point was IUPAP’s Policy on Free Circulation of Scientists explicitly recog­
nized by the authorities in reaching their decision.
We had to process visa requests for eleven C-country participants. Four ended up not
coming to the Colloquium; two visas were issued on the opening day of the conference, so
one participant came late and the other did not show up; two more had the Mexican visa but
discovered they also needed a U.S. visa, which is much harder to get, to fly on a reasonable
budget; one Israeli plenary speaker was also delayed, but fortunately had high government
connections to get his U.S. visa the next day. Personal attention at the Instituto Nacional de
Migracion in Cuernavaca was good, but involved six visits, a dozen phone calls, some 18cm
of paper, and most of our anguish.
To my mind, it is very easy to verify whether a purported solicitant is a scientist or not,
 XV

simply by looking into his/her institute’s webpage — which can hardly be counterfeited— , or
accessing the publications of that author, or asking some known colleague in the vicinity. The
scientific community is rather closely knit and it is nearly impossible to be an impostor with
ulterior motives. I did receive three odd letters “Please extend a letter o f invitation so that
I can come... ” from Nepal, India and Nigeria, without institutional adscription. Of course,
these were simply disregarded with no further ado.
Discrimination by race, creed, gender, caste, or even sexual orientation, is considered
by honest government officials to be not only politically incorrect, but downright idiotic. Yet
citizenship, which is as unimportant as any of the above to limit a scientist’s competence and
value, is used as the main or only criterion on who may pass the airport gate and who may not,
and by implication, on who is a suspicious human being and who is not. It is remarkable that
this criterion is shared both by official policies and by the terrorists gangs in their forays — and
also by a few remaining ignorant bigots among the population— but certainly not within the
learned communities. Diplomatic reciprocity is often invoked as the reason to turn the poor
countries of the world into a lunatic hall of mirrors, and is flaunted completely vis-a-vis our
far richer neighbors.
Since we do not yet live in Utopia, the most (and least) that we can do is to insist,
through the many channels at our disposition, on the incongruence of discrimination based
on passport origin with the aims and practice of scientific meetings. We should continue to
promote the recognition that freedom of movement is a requirement for our endeavors, and
keep alive the hope that this freedom will be some day recognized as a basic human right.
Certainly, the present migratory policies of Mexico belie our visitor’s impressions on their
Mexican colleagues as being savvy and congenial at work, and hospitable at home. That is
the reality. We deplore the present restrictions and keep our eyes on the task to mantain the
freedom of communication within our scientific community.
