This volume focuses on the interactions between mathematics, physics, biologyand neuroscience by exploring new geometrical and topological modelling in these fields. Among the highlights are the central roles played by multilevel and scale-change approaches in these disciplines. The integration of mathematicswith physics, as well as molecular and cell biology and the neurosciences, will constitute the new frontier of 21st century science, where breakthroughs are more likely to span across traditional disciplines. INDICE: Geometry, Theoretical Physics and Cosmology: The Emergence of Algebraic Geometry in Contemporary Physics (Claudio Bartocci & Ugo Bruzzo); Quantum Gravity and Quantum Geometry (Mauro Carfora); The de Sitter and Anti-de Sitter Universes (Ugo Moschella); Geometry and Topology in Relativistic Cosmology (Jean-Pierre Luminet); The Problem of Space in Neurosciences: Space Coding in the Cerebral Cortex (Leonardo Fogassi); Action and Space Representation (Anna Berti & Alessia Folegatti); The Space Representations in the Brain (Claudio Brozzoli & Alessandro Farnè); The Enactive Constitution of Space (Carrado Sinigaglia & Chiara Brozzo); Geometrical Methods in the Biological Sciences: Causes and Symmetries in Natural Sciences: The Continuum and the Discrete in Mathematical Modelling (Francis Bailly & Giuseppe Longo); Topological Invariants of Geometrical Surfaces and the Protein Folding Problem (Riccardo Broglia); The Geometry of Dense Packing and Biological Structures (Jean-François Sadoc); When Topology and Biology Meet ‘For Life’: The Interactions Between Topological Forms and Biological Functions (Luciano Boi).
