Integrability using the Sine-Gordon and Thirring Duality (eBook, ePUB)

An introductory course

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a detailed description of the duality between two integrable systems: the 1+1-dimensional Sine-Gordon model and the 1+1-dimensional Thirring model. While of great importance per se, this duality is only part of the target of the book. In order to reach an understanding of the subtleties involved in the duality, one has to take a journey through the properties of quantum integrable systems, building from the ground up the theory of exact S-matrices and familiarising oneself with the mathematical concept of a quantum group. The book therefore becomes an opportunity for a focussed study of integrability in its wider breadth of interest, always maintaining a clear ultimate purpose in mind: understanding the duality between bosons and fermions in 1+1 dimensions. This should make going through the book from the point of view of the reader/early-career researcher a live enterprise, as opposed to a more passive learning exercise.

Developed from a lecture series, this graduate level textbook includes the basic elements without relying on pre-requisites beyond standard graduate-level quantum field theory knowledge. The open-ended literature reviews included throughout the book constitute ideas for end-of-year projects, while the more standard exercises are accompanied by solutions.

Autorenporträt

Alessandro Torrielli has been a member of staff at the University of Surrey since 2011, and appointed as Professor of Mathematics in 2022. He graduated with a 110/110 cum laude Laurea (equivalent to MSc) in Physics from Genoa University. He then undertook his PhD in Physics from Padua University, then held postdoctoral positions at Padua University, the Humboldt University of Berlin, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT, Utrecht University and York University. His work focuses on algebraic aspects of integrable systems, in particular supersymmetric models of the type appearing in the AdS/CFT correspondence. His research papers have gathered 3867 citations to this day, and his current h-index is 30.
