note = "Funding Information: In a sense this was a very special ICAMS because this is the first time in 40 years that the conference is held in a third world country. To host the conference in a third world country is important because this gives the possibility of putting together scientists from the north and from the south. In particular, young Latin American researchers, who seldom have the opportunity to travel, attended updated lectures on the subjects they are working on. We were fortunate in obtaining financial support to help colleagues from Latin America and other developing countries. At this point, we must mention and thank the generous support from the Brazilian Research Council (CNPq) and the Sao Paulo State Agency for the Promotion of Science and Technology (FAPESP). We also thank the support of the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (Trieste, Italy), The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics, the Latin American Center of Physics, and the State University of Campinas UNICAMP. Their contributions ensured the success of the conference. ",
