From July 31 - August 19, 2011 Perimeter Institute will host a three-week long program on Exact Results in Gauge/Gravity Dualities. This will be a three-week long program divided into three parts:
- First week: The Mathematica Summer School on Theoretical Physics
- Second week: An informal workshop with lectures on integrability and scattering amplitudes
- Third week: The Integrability in Gauge and String Theory 2011 conference
More information below.
July 31 - August 6, 2011The goal of the school is to bring together theoretical physicists of all levels who want to learn both Mathematica and a selected advanced research topic in theoretical physics. This year the topic of the school will be scattering amplitudes. Theory and applied lectures take place during the morning. During the afternoon there will be problem solving sessions. Simultaneously, the Exact Results in Gauge/Gravity Dualities program will start running.
Registration for Mathematica Summer School is now closed. Thank you to all who applied.

New developments in scattering amplitudes in N=4 super Yang-Mills, such the discovery of a Yangian symmetry algebra, and new methods that use integrability at all couplings in Wilson loop computations make it clear that we are on the verge of a major conjunction of fields and techniques. Once a connection is made, many breakthroughs coming from cross fertilization are expected. This is why informal workshops that bring together experts from each field is a proven method to foster progress in connecting them.
This part of the program aims at bringing together leading physicists working on scattering amplitudes and integrability in gauge/gravity dualities. The workshop will allow for plenty of time for discussions. In order to maximize cross-fertilization, the workshop is intended to be pedagogical. To attend this workshop, please register for the IGST 2011 conference and indicate your attendance under the section 'Other Important Information'.

Exact solvability, or integrability for short, is normally a one or two dimensional blessing which sometimes occurs in condensed matter systems such as spin chains, the Hubbard model, some sigma models, etc. Recently it became clear that some four dimensional gauge theories are dual to two dimensional integrable sigma models and inherit their quantum integrability. This gives rise to outstanding opportunities for improving our understanding of nature at fundamental scales. For example, using integrability, the exact dimension of all operators in a four dimensional gauge theory are now conjectured. This is the first time ever that non-trivial (non-protected) quantities are computed at any value of the coupling in a strongly interacting field theory. Progress in this field is still happening at an amazing pace. This includes, for example, using the Thermodynamic Bethe ansatz and the AdS/CFT Y-system for probing the finite size spectrum of the theory and computing four dimensional scattering amplitudes making use of integrability. The computations of higher point correlation functions are also starting to arise. At the same time mysterious connections between correlation functions in Liouville theory (an integrable theory) and the partition functions of certain N=2 Gauge theories have been found and wall crossing phenomena have been connected to thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations. The purpose of the IGST2011 conference is to assess the current status of this rapidly evolving field by bringing together experts in gauge theories, strings, integrable systems and mathematics. The conference will consist of 25 talks and will allow for plenty of time for discussions. Many of the speaking slots will be made apparent in the near future to allow for the latest developments.
