The Workshop Announcement

The last five years have seen significant progress in applying methods of integrable systems to cutting-edge problems of statistical physics. Remarkably, quite similar mathematical ideas have surfaced in different fields of theoretical physics such as the exact theory of nonlinear replica sigma models in the random-matrix-theory (RMT) limit, non-equilibrium dynamics of quantum systems, integrable theory of universal quantum transport in chaotic structures, various models of growth processes, and more.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together active researchers from several fields of mathematical and theoretical physics where the integrability constitutes either a central paradigm or an important calculational tool. Not less importantly, we also wish to encourage a dialogue between experienced practitioners of the theory of integrable hierarchies and physicists of seemingly far-apart disciplines whose research may potentially benefit from the fruitful ideas of integrability.

The workshop topics include (but not restricted to)
  
    Mathematical theory of integrability for physicists
    Integrability of replica field theories in the RMT limit
    Nonhermitean random matrices, growth processes
    and integrable systems
    Heuristic replica applications in RMT and beyond
    Novel field-theoretic approaches in RMT and
    mesoscopics
