Quantum field theory provides the mathematical framework for
describing fundamental interactions in particle physics, but its
formalism finds application also in condensed matter and statistical
physics, and it provides a bridge towards beautiful mathematics,
including combinatorics, geometry and probability theory.
This workshop aims at bringing together researchers working on
different aspects of QFT, such as the renormalization group,
conformal field theory, resurgence, constructive field theory,
integrability, combinatorics, and more.
While there will be no attempt at completeness, as the list of
developments in the topic is huge, the goal is to assemble a small
but representative group of researchers in order to provide
participants with a bird's-eye view on some recent advances and
current trends in QFT.
Note: The Philosophenweg (Philosopher’s trail) is a path on the
northern side of the Neckar, with scenic views of Heidelberg’s old
town and castle. It takes its name from the "philosophers",
professors at the university, who used to enjoy a walk along the
path. Nowadays, theoretical physicists have taken over, with the ITP
being located in two beautiful villas on Philosophenweg, one of which
will host the workshop.
