A review of the AdS/CFT Quantum Spectral Curve
Fedor Levkovich-Maslyuk
(ENS Paris)
Abstract:
I will give an introduction to the Quantum Spectral Curve in AdS/CFT. This is an integrability-based framework which provides the exact spectrum of planar N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory (and of the dual string model) in terms of a solution of a Riemann-Hilbert problem for a finite set of functions. I review the underlying QQ-relations starting from simple spin chain examples, and describe the special features arising for AdS/CFT. I will also present some pedagogical examples to show the framework in action. Lastly I will briefly discuss its recent applications for correlation functions. Based on the review arXiv:1911.13065.
NOTE: online seminar using Zoom. Please register to the mailing list on integrability-london.weebly.com to participate.

5d SCFTs and BPS quivers (Please email p.agarwal AT qmul.ac.uk for the zoom link to the meeting)
Cyril Closset
(Oxford)
Abstract:
I will explore aspects of the Coulomb-branch physics of five-dimensional superconformal field theories (SCFT). More precisely, I will consider the 5d SCFT on a circle, and describe the general structure of the Coulomb-branch BPS states as encoded in a "5d BPS quiver," which can be computed from standard string-theory geometric-engineering techniques. The interplay between 4d and 5d BPS quivers will play a central role in our story.
