Gauge Theory Angle at Integrability Workshop: November 12 – 16, 2012

Organized by Nikita Nekrasov and Samson Shatashvili

 

This workshop is a part of the Fall 2012 program Integrability in Modern Theoretical and Mathematical Physics

Exactly solvable quantum many body systems, lattice models of statistical physics and integrable 1+1 dimensional quantum field theories have very rich and long history which substantially influenced the development of the mathematical physics in the 20th century. During the recent years it has become clear that supersymmetric quantum field theories in various dimensions contain sectors that are equivalent to these quantum integrable models (and their classical counterparts). This observation connected two communities of mathematicians and physicists and thus is expected to have profound consequences.
