Summer School on Quantum Groups and Integrability –
Algebraic, Analytic and Geometric Aspects

July 21-25, 2014
Hamburg

The aim of this summer school is to educate PhD students and young researchers in modern methods and promising mathematical research directions related to the theory of integrable models. The topics we plan to cover include in particular

the theory of quantum affine algebras,
q-characters,
functional relations,
Baxter Q-operators,
applications to the study of integrable quantum systems.

The chosen dates (July 21-25 2014) fall into the week after the IGST (Integrability in Gauge and String Theory) conference at DESY Hamburg, which will hopefully allow for useful synergies.

The summer school is funded by the Research Training Group 1670 "Mathematics inspired by string theory and quantum field theory". It is a joint activity of the Research Training Group 1670, the Collaborative Research Center 676, the GATIS Training Network, and the Center for Mathematical Physics Hamburg.
