EXACTLY SOLVABLE SYSTEMS IN QUANTUM FIELD THEORY
A meeting to celebrate the 60th birthday of Professor Ed Corrigan
University of York
10-11 August 2006
This
meeting is intended to survey the state of the art and to discuss open
problems in all topics on which Professor Corrigan has worked, but
particularly his current interests in integrable systems and quantum
field theory.
Programme
All lectures will be held in the Biology building, room B/B002
