SFT 2025 - Lectures on Statistical Field Theories
Feb 03, 2025 - Feb 14, 2025
Abstract
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 build a solid and specialized background on these topics. The school provides a range of postgraduate courses covering introductory topics as well as recent developments.
Lectures are scheduled for four hours each morning, for a total amount of forty hours, over two weeks. Presentations are given at the blackboard. The afternoon is devoted to exercises, study, and discussions with lecturers and senior participants. A desk and standard research facilities are provided to all participants.
The school can admit up to forty participants. Accommodation for two weeks in shared rooms can be provided for a total price of approximately 500 €. Financial support for this accommodation may be granted upon request.
The admitted participants will be contacted by GGI secretariat at the end of December.
The courses can be included in the the Ph.D. curricula of Italian Universities and abroad. If necessary, exams on the courses can be taken.
Topics
John Chalker (University of Oxford): Random quantum circuits
Fabian Essler (University of Oxford): Field theory approaches to low-dimensional many-particle quantum systems
Werner Krauth (ENS, Paris and University of Oxford): The second Markov-chain revolution
Silvia Pappalardi (University of Cologne): Chaotic dynamics, the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis and beyond
Hubert Saleur (CEA, Saclay and USC, Los Angeles): Conformal loop ensembles
Lecture notes and bonus material
