CFT AND INTEGRABLE MODELS

and their applications to Quantum Field Theory, Statistical Mechanics and Condensed Matter Physics

to be held at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of Bologna University (Italy), on October 1-4, 1997 (inclusive). The Workshop is organized jointly by Bologna, Firenze and Milano Universities and their INFN sections. It is intended to be an informal exchange of ideas at an advanced technical level among researchers working in this rapidly evolving field.

Topics:

Exact correlators: Form Factors and off-critical Null Vectors, Lukyanov Vertex Operators and their Cohomology, Quantum deformations of Virasoro Algebra
CFT Developments: Logarithmic CFT, Boundary CFT,...
Scaling Functions: TBA, DdV equations, Excited States, QISM reformulation of CFT and their integrable perturbations...
Applications to Condensed Matter and Solid State physics, Statistical Mechanics, Strings,...
Mathematical Issues: W-algebras, Drinfeld-Sokolov, Hamiltonian Reductions, Hirota Methods...
4-dim. CFT: relations between integrability and Seiberg-Witten duality
