Summary:

This volume brings together applications of integrability to supersymmetric gauge and string theory. It focuses on the application of integrability and problems in quantum field theory. Particular emphasis is given to the exact solution of planar N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory and its relation with string theory on the one hand, and the exact determination of the low-energy physics of N=2 super-Yang-Mills theories on the other; links with other domains are also explored.

Contents:

Integrability in statistical physics and quantum spin chains / Jesper Lykke Jacobsen

A guide to two-dimensional conformal field theory / Jörg Teschner

Lectures on the holographic duality of gauge fields and strings / Gordon W. Semenoff.
