INTEGRABLE QUANTUM FIELD THEORIES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS
Proceedings of the APCTP Winter School
Cheju Island, Korea 28 February - 4 March 2000

edited by Changrim Ahn (Ewha Woman's University, Korea), Chaiho Rim (Chonbuk National University, Korea) & Ryu Sasaki (Kyoto University, Japan)

This volume includes several lecture notes on the fundamentals and elementary techniques of integrable field theories and on their applications to low-dimensional physics systems contributed by leading scientists in the respective fields. The main topics covered are various aspects of the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz, form factors, Calogero (and related) models, sigma models, conformal boundary conditions, etc. The volume presents both pedagogical material and a current research trend in the field.

The proceedings have been selected for coverage in:

  • Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings)


Contents:

  • Applications of Reflection Amplitudes in Toda-Type Theories (C Ahn et al.)
  • Lax Pairs and Involutive Hamiltonians for CN and BCN Ruijsenaars–Schneider Models (K Chen et al.)
  • Fateev's Models and Their Applications (D Controzzi & A M Tsvelik)
  • The ODE/IM Correspondence (P Dorey et al.)
  • Integrable Sigma Models (P Fendley)
  • Lorentz Lattice Gases and Spin Chains (M J Martins)
  • Quantum Calogero–Moser Models for Any Root System (R Sasaki)
