Preface / by Claudio Bartocci, Luciano Boi and Corrado Sinigaglia -- The emergence of algebraic geometry in contemporary physics / Claudio Bartocci and 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 -- Space coding in the cerebral cortex / Leonardo Fogassi -- Action and space representation / Anna Berti and Alessia Folegatti -- The space representations in the brain / Claudio Brozzoli and Alessandro Farnè -- The enactive constitution of space / Corrado Sinigaglia and Chiara Brozzo -- Causes and symmetries in natural sciences : the continuum and the discrete in mathematical modelling / Francis Bailly and 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.

Summary: This volume focuses on the interactions between mathematics, physics, biology and 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 mathematics with 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.
