| | The aim of the school is to bring
together PhD students with interests in low-dimensional quantum
field theory, conformal field theory and integrable systems, and
their applications to statistical mechanics and condensed matter
systems, and help them building a solid and specialized background
on these subjects. The school provides sets of postgraduate lectures
covering introductory topics as well as recent developments in the
field.
Lectures will be scheduled four hours each morning, for a
total amount of about forty hours, over two weeks. Presentations will
be given on the blackboard. The afternoon will be devoted to
exercises, study, and discussions with lecturers and senior
participants. A desk and standard research facilities will be provided
to all participants.
The school can admit up to thirty participants. Accomodation
for two weeks in twin rooms will be provided for a total price of
about 3-400 €. Financial support to accomodation expenses may be
provided, upon request, to at most twenty participants.
The courses will be officially part of the Italian
Ph.D. training program for the universities that have joined the
initiative. For this purpose there will be the possibility of a final
exam with the lecturers.
Deadline for application: 15 December 2013.
Late applications may be also considered.
