Integrable Systems: From Classical to Quantum

A co-publication of the AMS and Centre de Recherches Mathématiques
This volume presents the papers based upon lectures given at the 1999
Séminaire de Mathémathiques Supérieurs held in Montréal. It includes
contributions from many of the most active researchers in the field. This
subject has been in a remarkably active state of development throughout the
past three decades, resulting in new motivation for study in surprisingly
different directions.
Beyond the intrinsic interest in the study of integrable models of
many-particle systems, spin chains, lattice and field theory models at both the
classical and the quantum level, and completely solvable models in statistical
mechanics, there have been new applications in relation to a number of other
fields of current interest. These fields include theoretical physics and pure
mathematics, for example the Seiberg-Witten approach to supersymmetric
Yang-Mills theory, the spectral theory of random matrices, topological models
of quantum gravity, conformal field theory, mirror symmetry, quantum
cohomology, etc.
This collection gives a nice cross-section of the current state of the work in
the area of integrable systems which is presented by some of the leading active
researchers in this field. The scope and quality of the articles in this volume
make this a valuable resource for those interested in an up-to-date
introduction and an overview of many of the main areas of study in the theory
of integral systems.
Titles in this series are co-published with the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques.
Readership
