Physically Inspired Mathematics Seminar
Lecture Series
The mathematics that appears in physics oftentimes has a characteristic internal structure, often captured by the word integrable. In many examples, this at first mysterious integrability structure was later connected with the representation theory of the corresponding algebraic objects: quantum groups, Virasoro algebras, or other infinite dimensiona Lie algebas. The study of these mathematical objects brings insights back into modern mathematical physics, as demonstrated in examples of conformal field theory and string theory. The goal of the seminar is to study this physically inspired mathematics.
