QFT Colloquium: Prof. Dr. Niklas Beisert (ETH Zürich) will speak about "Yangian Symmetry and Integrability of Planar N=4 SYM".

Abstract

This talk is about integrability of planar N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. I will review the notion of integrability in the AdS/CFT context and what it means for planar scattering and Wilson loops including selected results. I will then present a concrete notion of the corresponding Yangian symmetry in this model, show that it holds true, and discuss the (perturbative) implications for correlation functions and Wilson loops.

 

Coffee and cookies will be offered half an hour before the start of the colloquium.
