Integrability in low-supersymmetry theories

About

This is the second edition of a series of events dedicated to furthering our understanding of integrability in the context of AdS/CFT in scenarios with low supersymmetry. In particular, the meetings focus on the study of the AdS3/CFT2 duality, integrable deformations of AdS/CFT, and integrable defects.

The previous edition has taken place in Filicudi (Italy) from June 4 to June 14, 2023.

The next edition will take place at the Simons Centre in Stony Brook from October 21 to 25, 2024.

School and Workshop

This edition is articulated in two parts. In the first week, we will have a number of review lectures on the whiteboard with the aim of bringing all participants up to speed on the topics of the meeting. In the second week, we will have a mixture of structured and unstructured discussions.

Program and Schedule

The school will feature the following lectures:

• Simon Ekhammar - The Quantum Spectral Curve and Dressing Factors 

• Christian Ferko - Stress-tensor Deformations and ModMax Theories

• Gabrile Tartaglino-Mazzucchelli - More on TTbar-like deformations of quantum field theories

• Ben Hoare - Integrable Models from 4D Chern-Simons Theory

• Alessandro Sfondrini - Symmetric Orbifold CFT and the Worldsheet S-matrix

The regular schedule will normally be as it follows:
Until 10am: breakfast;    10am - 1pm: morning session;    1pm - 2:30pm: lunch;     2:30pm -  5:30pm: afternoon session.
Some of the sessions will be devoted to structured and unstructured discussions.

The school gala dinner will be on July 22; the workshop gala dinner will be on July 30. An excursion to Alberobello and Matera is planned for July 29.

Practical information

The events will take place at the Hotel Palazzo Filisio in Trani. Participants may reserve rooms at Palazzo Filisio; another convenient nearby accommodation is the residence Palazzo Bianchi where small apartments are usually equipped with kitchen, washing machine, etc.

Trani can be easily reached by train. There is a direct night service, two direct daily long-distance trains operated by Italo,  and several connections operated by Trenitalia.

The closest airport is Bari-Palese. To reach Trani you can take a bus to the Bari-Palese train station, and a regional train to Trani. If travelling in group or very late / very early, you may consider renting a car or using a car service (NCC, "noleggio con conducente"). Trani is about 30min by car from the airport. 

On July 29 participants will have the opportunity to take part in an excursion to visit two UNESCO World Heritage sites of great historical, artistic and cultural significance located in the vicinity of Trani: Alberobello and Matera. Participants and their families are welcome to attend; the (modest) cost  of the excursion must be borne by the participants.
