The present volume gathers together contributions based on talks presented at the "Fourth International Winter Conference on Mathematical Methods in Physics", held at the Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Físicas (CBPF/MCT, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) from the 9th to 13th August, 2004. The Conference was the fourth of a planned series, the previous ones being held at the State University of Londrina (Paraná, Brazil).
In the recent years one has witnessed some new and very exciting applications of quite a range of sophisticated mathematical tools in theoretical physics. The largest amount of them coming from the domain of the so-called "pure" mathematics, including for example number theory, methods of spectral and group theories, differential and algebraic geometry, non-commutative geometry and topology. Some of these tools were showcased in a series of lectures delivered at the previous Londrina Conferences (see references below).
The principal goal of the Winter Conference 2004 (WC2004) was to promote updating of knowledge and interaction between mathematicians and theoretical physicists, through plenary sessions, seminars and posters.
We thank the authors for their hard work in the preparation of their contributions, and specially in bringing them to a suitable form for publication. Also we would like to acknowledge the financial support from the Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq, Brazil),
the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES, Brazil), Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ, Brazil) and, in particular, to Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Físicas (CBPF/MCT) where this Conference has been hosted.
Finally the organizers of the WC2004 would like to express their sincere gratitude to the Editorial Board of the Journal of High Energy Physics for their interest in the publication of this volume.
