Title: Gauge Theory and Integrability
Abstract: Due to the complexity of physical systems, it is rare to find physical situations that can be modeled and simultaneously solved exactly. As such, integrable models have fascinated physicists and mathematicians for centuries. In this lecture, I will discuss the approach to integrable models from the perspective of the four-dimensional Chern-Simons theory, which unifies many aspects of integrability that seem unrelated otherwise.
