Description
This volume presents a selection of papers on the most advanced and elegant method in modern theoretical and mathematical physics: complete integrability in quantum field theory and statistical mechanics. Completely integrable models of quantum field theory and statistical mechanics have had a great impact on the understanding of a variety of different physical phenomena and are important ingredients of several branches of theoretical physics. Recently the algebraic structure of quantum integrability has given rise to new developments in mathematics. The papers in this volume have been chosen with the intention of emphasizing the physically valuable aspects of the integrable models, and their applicability to actual problems of quantum field theory, condensed matters, and statistical mechanics. They should serve as a useful reference for students and researchers in theoretical and mathematical physics. It is a document of progress in mathematical physics in low dimensions.
