Integrable systems are dynamical systems (non linear PDEs in the classical version, or spectral problems in the quantum version) which are amenable to exact solutions despite their apparent intricacy, often due to the non-trivial existence of many conserved quantities. This course is an introduction to classical and quantum integrable systems, with emphasis on the mechanisms of integrability, and the explicit resolution by mathematical methods of models of physical relevance. The examples used will showcase the large diversity of integrable models.
Physicists and mathematicians are equally welcome.
The course is 4SWS (and not in block format, as was displayed at several places before).
Validation of the course by preparation of a seminar on an assigned topic.
