CFT AND INTEGRABLE MODELS

Applications to Quantum Fields, Statistical Mechanics, Condensed Matter Physics and Quantum Information

  • Date: from 04 September 2023 to 07 September 2023

  • Event location: Aula Magna Dipartimento di Fisica e Astronomia “A. Righi” Via Irnerio 46, Bologna

  • Access Details: Free admission subject to enrolment

This 10th edition also celebrates the 40-year anniversary of 2D CFT.  On November 22nd 1983, in fact, Belavin, Polyakov and Zamolodchikov paper was submitted to Nucl. Phys. B

The Workshop is organized by the Bologna Theory Group and under the auspices of the University and INFN Bologna Division. It aims to promote the exchange of ideas at an advanced technical level among researchers working in this area of theoretical physics.

Topics:
• Conformal Field Theories: theory and applications
• CFT boundaries and defects
• Conformal bootstrap in more than two dimensions
• Integrability in Quantum Fields, Statistical Mechanics and in gauge/gravity duality
• Applications of CFT and Integrability to Quantum Information and Entanglement Entropy
• Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz, Finite Size Effects and NLIE
• Generalised Hydrodynamics and Transport in Integrable Systems
• 𝑻𝑻" and current-current perturbations in CFT and Integrable QFT

Invited speakers:

Niklas Beisert (ETH, Zürich); Fabio Franchini (Boskovich, Zagreb); Olalla Castro Alvaredo (City University, London); Katsushi Ito (Tokyo Tech); Jean-Sébastien Caux (Amsterdam University); Marton Kormos (BME Budapest); Jacopo De Nardis (Cergy-Pontoise University); Pietro Longhi (Uppsala University); Benjamin Doyon (King’s College, London); Didina Serban (CEA, Sacaly).
