13 December 2018 Dear Participants: It is my honor to welcome you to the 15th topical physics conference in the “Miami” series --- a meeting that continues a sixth decade of physics conferences held in south Florida. This year’s meeting is dedicated to the memory of Peter Freund. Peter was a good friend to me and many others at this meeting. He was a frequent participant and he gave strong support for these conferences. Moreover, the current particle theory group at the University of Miami was created in the late 1980s largely due to Peter’s enthusiastic endorsement. Before the current series began in December 2004, the “Coral Gables conferences” were organized by University of Miami faculty from January 1964 to December 2003, often assisted by many faculty from other institutions including many of the organizers of this meeting. In particular, Sydney Meshkov has helped to organize and has attended almost all of these meetings since they began over 50 years ago. His participation again this year continues this remarkable tradition. It is also traditional for these meetings to try to accommodate most if not all requests to speak without having parallel sessions. Once again that will be the case, and once again this year the conference program and other useful information will not be printed and distributed in a binder. This information will only be available, in its entirety, online. See https://cgc.physics.miami.edu/Miami2018.html If you must have a printed copy of the entire program, as well as the other useful information, here is a printer friendly source, https://cgc.physics.miami.edu/2018ConferenceBooklet.pdf If you have any special requirements for your talk, or if you have any questions that the hotel staff cannot answer, please ask any attending local member of the organizing committee, in particular, Jo Ann Curtright (cell phone number 786-200-1480), Thomas Curtright (cell phone number 305-793-4637), as well as Diego Castano, and Stephan Mintz. I hope you find the conference to be enjoyable as well as informative. I thank all of you for your enthusiastic participation in these meetings, especially those of you who willingly share your research in formal talks and private discussions. You are the conference. Our best wishes for a successful meeting.
