Course Syllabus

Abstract

This course is organized in the form of weekly seminars, where we are going to discuss the integrability structures appearing in quantum field theory. These structures nowadays are present in numerous examples, such as sigma models, supersymmetric gauge theories, string theories, gauge/string dualities, scattering amplitudes and correlation functions etc. In the second part of the course there will be given an introduction into the applications of the theory of integrable systems to the study of the spectrum of N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and dual superstring theory on the AdS_5×S^5 background and we will study integrable deformations of sigma models. The course is intended for PhD and Master students. Postdocs and Bachelor students are also welcome.
