Workshop on Quantum Integrable Systems
December 02 - 06, 2013
|
Theory of nonlinear Integrable system traveled a long way
to make its first step from the classical to the quantum domain, through
the pioneering idea of Bethe ansatz in 1931. After a
considerable lapse of time the concept of quantum integrable systems
started flourishing again through the work of Yang, Lieb, Liniger, Baxter and others in quantum mechanical and statistical systems and in the
systematic
development of the theory with diverse applicability by
Faddeev and coworkers as well as by Zamolodchikov, Drinfeld, Jimbo and
many others. At present the theory and applications of the quantum
aspects
of integrable systems have penetrated into a wide range of areas, like
S-matrics and form factors in quantum field theory (QFT),
quantum group and Hopf algebras, correlation functions and
thermodynamics of spin and electron systems, boundary and defect
problems,
anyon models, nonequilibrium processes etc., to name a few, though with
many more open problems and future challenges.
The aim of this International Workshop is to bring together active
workers
and leading specialists in this field and related areas of contemporary
interest, from India and abroad, for exchanging ideas, foster collaboration and inspire young minds to do fruitful research at an
international level in this challenging and developing field
