Integrability and Moduli

A conference in honor of Leon Takhtajan

8-12 July 2024 (Satellite of ECM 2024)

University of Lisbon, Portugal


Leon Takhtajan made a decisive contribution to the theory of classical and quantum integrable models which substantially changed the entire discipline. The most remarkable are his works on relativistic integrable equations and  their quantisation. The book Hamiltonian Methods in the Theory of Solitons, which he wrote with L. D. Faddeev,  became instant classic.

His major contributions also lie in the theory of Riemann surfaces and moduli spaces and include, in particular, quantum field theories on algebraic curves and associated reciprocity laws, two-dimensional quantum gravity (specifically, Liouville quantum gravity), local index theorems, Weil–Petersson geometry of moduli spaces, and Kähler geometry of universal Teichmüller space.

The aim of the conference is to gather internationally recognized experts in the fields explored by Leon Takhtajan, as well as his collaborators and former students, in order to present new developments and share insights.

The topics of the conference include (but are not limited to) classical and quantum integrable systems, complex geometry of moduli spaces, automorphic forms and their applications to number theory.
