The aim of the school is to bring together PhD students with interests in low-dimensional quantum field theory, conformal field theory and integrable models, and their applications to statistical mechanics and condensed matter systems, and to 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.

Due the the pandemia, this year lectures will be exclusively on-line. Registration is anyway necessary to join the web session.

The courses can be included in the the Ph.D. curricula of Italian Universities and abroad. If necessary, a final exam on the courses can be taken.

Deadline for application: 15 November 2020.

Alexander Altland (University of Cologne): Introduction to the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model.

Olalla Castro-Alvaredo (City University of London): Entanglement in Quantum Field Theory: An Introduction to Branch Point Twist Fields and their Applications.

Filippo Colomo (INFN, Florence) Limit-shape phenomena in statistical mechanics.

Balázs Pozsgay (Budapest University of Technology and Economics): Introduction to the Bethe Ansatz.

Andrea Trombettoni (University of Trieste): The Lieb-Liniger model and its applications.
