The conference, which will take place at Swansea University 15-19 July 2024, is focused on exploring the rapid developments in understanding deformations of integrable theories; their application to string theory sigma models; their possible AdS/CFT applications and interpretations; their connection to higher dimensional Chern-Simons theories; and their interface with the mathematics of Poisson-Lie and non-abelian dualities.
There has been significant recent progress in understanding deformations of integrable string sigma models, their relation to non-abelian and Poisson-Lie duality, and their possible AdS/CFT interpretation in terms of non-commutative field theory. These models can also be naturally recast in terms of double and exceptional field theory. Numerous interesting connections between these research areas are developing, promising to shed light on important open questions.
The goal of this conference is to bring together experts in:
- Integrable models and their deformations
- Worldsheet dualities and extended field theories
- Non-commutative and non-associative field theory
- Integrability in gauge/gravity duality
to facilitate the exchange of ideas, collaboration, and new developments across these fields.
