9789810220655: RECENT PROGRESS IN STATISTICAL MECHANICS AND QUANTUM FIELD THEORY: Department of Physics & Astronomy, University of Southern California, 16-21 May 1994

Synopsis

The following topics were covered: the study of renormalization group flows between field theories using the methods of quantum integrability, S-matrix theory and the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz; impurity problems approached both from the point of view of conformal field theory and quantum integrability. This includes the Kondo effect and quantum wires; solvable models with 1/r² interactions (Haldane–Shastri models). Yangian symmetries in 1/r² models and in conformal field theories; correlation functions in integrable 1+1 field theories; integrability in three dimensions; conformal invariance and the quantum hall effect; supersymmetry in statistical mechanics; and relations to two-dimensional Yang–Mills and QCD.

Synopsis

The conference brought together leading researchers at the interface between statistical mechanics and quantum field theory, which is, and has been, a very rich, dynamic and useful area of theoretical physics. The following topics that are of very active and current interest were covered: the study of renormalization group flows between field theories using the methods of quantum integrability, S-matrix theory and the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz; impurity problems approached both from the point of view of conformal field theory and quantum integrability; the Kondo effect and quantum wires; solvable models with 1/r2 interactions (Haldane-Shastri models); Yangian symmetries in 1/r2 models and in conformal field theories; correlation functions in integrable 1+1 field theories; integrability in three dimensions; conformal invariance and the quantum hall effect; supersymmetry in statistical mechanics; and relations to two-dimensional Yang-Mills and QCD.
