Classical solitons with BPS symmetry may be unstable in the quantum world
Herbert Weigel is Professor for Theoretical Physics at Stellenbosch University (South Africa). He received his PhD at Siegen University (Germany). Thereafter he spent several years as postdoc in Syracuse (New York), Orsay (France) and Tubingen (Germany). In Tubingen he also gained his 'Habilitation' (2nd PhD). He was then awarded a Heisenberg fellowship for a period of five years which he spent as researcher at the MIT, Cambridge (Massachusetts) and Tubingen. He became an extra-curricular Professor at Siegen University before he moved to Stellenbosch. Prof. Weigel's research interests are centered around non-linear phenomena in (quantum) field theory; most notably the so-called soliton solutions. They have a particle interpretation and can be used to model aspects of quantum-chromo-dynamics. He particularly investigated the relevance of strange degrees of freedom for baryons. More recently he also focused on the quantum effects for soliton-like structures. These studies yield insight in the famous Casimir effect, show that classically unstable field configurations can be stabilized quantum mechanically or that these quantum effects may cause classically stable configurations to fade away. Prof. Weigel has (co)authored more than one hundred research publications, about half a dozen review articles and two monographs.

Symmetries and paradoxes in Bayesian inference
I am Andrew Fowlie, an associate professor of theoretical physics at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU). I work at the interface of physics and data science, and specialize in developing and applying statistical methods to physics beyond the Standard model, including LHC physics and dark matter. I’ve worked extensively on nested sampling, developing an important diagnostic test for faulty runs and pioneering its application to frequentist statistics, as well as on the foundations of statistics generally and its relevance for searches for new particles.

Four dimensional manifolds admitting homothetic vector fields with a zero.
I graduated from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, England, B.Sc, 1968 and PhD, 1971. After this I have been on the staff at The University of Aberdeen since 1973 (and professor since 1996). I have supervised 20 PhD students and many M.Sc students, all successfully. I have given invited research seminars at many universities in North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australasia. In 1995 I was elected to a fellowship of The Royal Society of Edinburgh and in 2003 to a fellowship of The Royal Astronomical Society. I am now Emeritus Professor at Aberdeen.

Registration
If you are registering several people under the same registration, please do not use the same email address for each person, but their individual university email addresses. Thank you for your understanding.
Please note that the submission and registration are two separate parts. Only scholars who registered can receive a link to access the conference live streaming. The deadline for registration is 15 October 2026.

Important Deadline
1. Deadline for abstract submission: 24 June 2026.
2. Deadline for abstract acceptance notification: 21 July 2026.
Please note:
An abstract acceptance email only confirms that your abstract has been accepted. Oral or poster presentation invitations are determined separately by the conference chairs, and you will receive an additional email with the presentation result.
If you do not have an account, please register at www.sciforum.net. After logging in, submit your abstract using the “Submit Abstract” button on the conference homepage. No template is required.
Abstract Requirements
1. Types of Submissions
- Accepted: Original research abstracts; systematic reviews or meta-analyses abstracts (must comply with PRISMA 2020).
- Not accepted: Narrative, scoping, comparative, perspective, opinion, or essay-style reviews
2. Content Requirements
- Length: 200–300 words
- Structure: Introduction, Methods, Results, Conclusions
- Language: Clear, publication-ready English

MDPI, the publisher of the Sciforum.net platform, is an open access publisher. We believe authors should retain the copyright to their scholarly works. Hence, by submitting an abstract to this conference, you retain the copyright to the work, but you grant MDPI the non-exclusive right to publish this abstract online on the Sciforum.net platform. This means you can easily submit your full paper (with the abstract) to any scientific journal at a later stage and transfer the copyright to its publisher if required.
