THE SEMINAR

THEORY OF DUALITY

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN PHYSICS



On the 4th of May 2017, at 10:15 a.m.

Junya Yagi (IFT WFUW)

will give a talk on

"Integrable lattice models and supersymmetric gauge theories"

Abstract
I discuss a new approach to integrable lattice models and supersymmetric gauge theories, which was motivated by string theory considerations. This approach provides a unified perspective on various important notions, such as the Belavin model, the Jimbo–Miwa–Okado model, the Bazhanov–Sergeev model, Felder's elliptic quantum groups, the vertex-face correspondence, the elliptic modular double, and an elliptic lift of the relation between the chiral Potts model and the six-vertex model. Furthermore, it relates these notions to four-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories and their surface operators.

The seminar takes place on Thursdays from 10:15 a.m. to 12:00 in the room 2.23 of the main building of the Faculty of Physics (the 2nd floor), Pasteur Str. 5, Warszawa.
