SFT 2026 - Lectures on Statistical Field Theories
Feb 02, 2026 - Feb 13, 2026
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 fifty 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
Bernard Derrida (Collège de France): Large deviations of non-equilibrium diffusive systems
Jérôme Dubail (Université de Strasbourg): An introduction to 2d CFT for stat-phys and cond-mat students
Gregory Falkovich (Weizmann Institute of Science): Introduction to Information Theory
Paul Fendley (University of Oxford): The basics of non-invertible symmetries and dualities
Maria Vozmediano (ICM - CSIC, Madrid): Thermal transport, geometry, and anomalies
