The school will consist of a series of morning lectures given by the invited speakers. The participants will have the possibility to give talks. Lectures will be held in English and Spanish.

The school is aimed at undergraduate, graduate and PhD students and researchers interested in the topic.

The aim of the school is to give an overview of the main techniques and applications of the area of quantum integrable systems. The quantum sine-Gordon model will serve as an example for many important features of the theory. Other topics will be the one dimensional Bose gas with delta interaction, the algebraic Bethe ansatz, thermodynamics of spin chains and relativistic quantum integrable systems.

If you are interested in giving a talk, please contact the organizers before the 28th of April 2012.

If you are interested in participating, in giving a talk, or in receiving further information, let us know by sending an e-mail to the organizers . Please register before the 21st of May here: registration form.

There will be no registration fee. Limited financial support for some participants from outside of Bogotá might be available. Participants interested in applying for financial support should indicate this in the registration form before the 22rd of April 2012.

Main speakers:

• Ed Corrigan (University of York, UK)
• Andreas Klümper (Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Germany)
• Vladimir Korepin <wiki> (State University of New York at Stony Brook, USA)

Literature:

• Quantum inverse scattering method and correlation functions (V. E. Korepin, N. M. Bogoliubov, A. G. Izergin)

Participants in the school of mathematical physics might also be interested in the 2nd School on Particle Physics held at the Universidad de los Andes, 4th - 8th of June 2012.
