DESCRIPTION:Title: Integrable PDEs\, spin chains and CFT\nby Rob Klabbers (Humboldt-Univ
ersität zu Berlin) as part of Séminaire de physique mathématique IPhT\n
\nLecture held in Salle Claude Itzykson\, Bât. 774\, Orme des Merisiers.\
n\nAbstract\nIt has been known for a long time that there are close\nconne
ctions between integrable PDEs and CFT. For example\, the\ndeep-water-wave
equation called the Benjamin-Ono (BO) equation is\nintegrable and its fir
st quantisation sits in a certain CFT. This\nconnection can be understood
by the fact that the BO equation can be\nobtained as a continuum limit of
Calogero-Sutherland (CS) models\, the\neigenfunctions of which also play a
role in the diagonalisation of the CFT.\n\nRecently a spin generalisation
of the Benjamin-Ono equation was proposed\nand named the half-wave-maps e
quation. I will discuss how this equation\nis related to CS models as well
as integrable spin chains\, thereby\nfurther entangling all these differe
nt systems and opening the door for\ninvestigations into more complex CFTs
. I will show what are the most\nnatural generalisations of this equation\
, indicating the central role\nplayed by chirality.\n

Joonas Turunen (Laboratoire de physique\, ENS de Lyon) as part of Sémina

n\, Bât. 774\, Orme des Merisiers.\n\nAbstract\nIn the main part of the t
alk\, which is mostly based on joint works with Linxiao Chen\, we start fr
om a purely combinatorial problem of random planar triangulations of the d
isk coupled with an Ising model (either on the faces or the on the vertice
s) with Dobrushin boundary conditions and at a fixed temperature. We ident
ify rigorously a phase transition by analysing the critical behaviour of t
he partition functions of a large disk at and around the critical point. M
oreover\, we study the random geometric implications of this in particular
in the local limit when the disk perimeter tends to infinity. At the crit
ical temperature\, we also find some explicit scaling limits of observable
s related to the interface lengths as well as scaling limits of perimeter
fluctuations associated with a Markovian exploration process of the half-p
lane Ising triangulation. The two key techniques in use are singularity an
alysis of rational parametrizations of generating functions\, as well as t
he aforementioned exploration process. In the remaining part (time permitt
ing)\, I will explain more informally our ongoing project with Jérémie B
outtier and Grégory Miermont about how the above approach could be genera
lized to study random planar maps of a disk decorated with O(n) loop model
s (where rational parametrizations do not necessarily exist).\n

774\, Orme des Merisiers.\n\nAbstract\nGeometric recursion is a procedure
developed in 2017 by J.E. Andersen\, G. Borot and N. Orantin\, which gene
ralizes topological recursion. For specific choices of the initial data an
d of the target theory on which the recursion runs\, it allows to recursiv
ely construct objects that capture geometric properties of surfaces that a
re useful in mathematical physics. Together with J.E. Andersen\, G. Borot\
, A. Giacchetto\, D. Lewański and C. Wheeler\, we have established a seri
es of results allowing to promote the combinatorial Teichmüller space to
a target theory for geometric recursion.\n\nI will first describe the comb
inatorial Teichmüller space and some of its properties\; second I will de
fine geometric recursion (GR) on this space. I will then give two instance
s of this recursion: the first one is akin to Mirzakhani–McShane identit
y\, the second one is a recursive formula for the count of multicurves on
combinatorial surfaces. Last\, I will expose a set of coordinates on the c
ombinatorial Teichmüller space that is well-suited for geometric recursio
n. Those coordinates allow to recover topological recursion via a procedur
e of integration: in particular for the 2 instances of the talk\, we get a
nother proof of Witten's conjecture and a recursive formula for Masur–Ve
ech volumes.\n

the semiclassical level by a non-local Abelian gauge theory involving two
gauge fields. The theory is non-trivial owing to its solitonic excitatio

-magnetic self-duality. This theory also provides a framework for semicla

DESCRIPTION:Title: Entanglement entropies for Lifshitz fermionic fields at finite density\nby Erik Tonni (SISSA) as part of Séminaire de physique mathématique I
PhT\n\nLecture held in Salle Claude Itzykson\, Bât. 774\, Orme des Merisi
ers.\n\nAbstract\nThe entanglement entropies of an interval for the free f
ermionic spinless Schroedinger field theory at finite density and zero tem
perature are investigated. The interval is either on the line or at the be
ginning of the half line\, when either Neumann or Dirichlet boundary condi
tions are imposed at the origin. We show that the entanglement entropies a
re finite functions of a dimensionless parameter proportional to the area
of the rectangular region in the phase space identified by the Fermi momen
tum and the length of the interval. \nFor the interval on the line\, the e
ntanglement entropy is a monotonically increasing function. Instead\, for
the interval on the half line\, it displays an oscillatory behaviour relat
ed to the Friedel oscillations of the mean particle density at the entangl
ing point. \nBy employing the properties of the prolate spheroidal wave fu
nctions or the expansions of the tau functions of the kernels occurring in
the spectral problems\, determined by the two point function\, we find an
alytic expressions for the expansions of the entanglement entropies in the
asymptotic regimes of small and large area of the rectangular phase space
region. Extending our analysis to a class of free fermionic Lifshitz mode
ls\, we find that the parity of the Lifshitz exponent determines the prope
rties of the bipartite entanglement.\n

f Séminaire de physique mathématique IPhT\n\nLecture held in Salle Claud
e Itzykson\, Bât. 774\, Orme des Merisiers.\n\nAbstract\nI will start by
reviewing a surprising connection between the six vertex model (or its hig
her spin generalizations) and the Onsager algebra\, an infinite-dimensiona
l Lie algebra which appeared in the solution of the two-dimensional Ising
model. Using Kramers-Wannier duality\, a family of N-states integrable ver
tex models/quantum spin chains are constructed having the Onsager algebra
as a symmetry algebra. Those are then identified as the six-vertex model a
nd its higher-spin descendents\, at specific "root-of-unity" values of the
anisotropy parameter. While the integrability of six-vertex models is fam
ously related to an underlying quantum group structure\, the enlarged Onsa
ger symmetry could similarly be related to exotic quantum group representa
tions occuring at root of unity. However\, this leaves certain aspects suc
h as duality somewhat hidden in the six-vertex/quantum group formulation.
I will therefore revert the logic and show that the (higher spin) root-of-
unity six-vertex models can be re-expressed more simply in terms of Ising
(clock) spins with products of 2-spins interactions only. The Onsager alge
bra symmetry emerges naturally in this framework\, and the quantum-group r
elated structures and Yang-Baxter equations of the vertex models can be tr
aced back to simpler star-triangle equations in the spin formulation. This
is based on E. Vernier\, E. O'Brien\, P. Fendley\, JSTAT (2019)\, and som
e work in preparation.\n

\nThe enumeration of Hamiltonian paths on random bicubic maps is a very si
mply stated combinatorial problem that still awaits an exact solution. In
this talk\, I will present estimates of configuration exponents for the as
ymptotics of ensembles of such Hamiltonian paths with possible defects\, a
s obtained from extrapolations of exact enumerations for finite sizes. I w
ill then compare these measured exponents with theoretical predictions bas
ed on the Knizhnik\, Polyakov\, Zamolodchikov (KPZ) relations applied to c
lassical dimensions for fully packed loops on the honeycomb lattice. I wil
l show that a naive use of the KPZ relations does not reproduce the measur
ed exponents but that a simple modification of a parameter in their applic
ation can eventually correct the observed discrepancy. I will also show th
at a similar modification is needed to reproduce via the KPZ formulas some
exactly known exponents for the closely related problem of fully packed u
nweighted loops on random planar bicubic maps. \nThis presentation is base

IPhT) as part of Séminaire de physique mathématique IPhT\n\nLecture held
in Salle Claude Itzykson\, Bât. 774\, Orme des Merisiers.\n\nAbstract\nT
raditionally\, (quantum) integrable spin chains are studied under the assu
mption of short-range interactions between the spins\, leading to the near
est-neighbour Heisenberg chains. The most famous integrable model with lon
g-range spin interactions is the Haldane--Shastry chain\, whose integrable
structure was uncovered at IPhT about thirty years ago. The Inozemtsev sp
in chain\, which famously made a guest appearance in AdS/CFT integrability
\, interpolates between the Heisenberg XXX and Haldane--Shastry chains whi
le being exactly solvable throughout. Although widely believe to be integr
able\, the algebraic structure underlying the Inozemtsev chain is not yet
known.\n\nOne way to learn about something is to try and deform it. For sp
in chains\, it is natural to try and break the SU(2) spin symmetry ('isotr
opy') down to spin-z symmetry ('partial (an)isotropy') in a way that prese
rves the key features. In my talk I will present a new long-range spin cha
in: the partially (an)isotropic Inozemtsev chain. It is integrable in that
it has a hierarchy of commuting hamiltonians. In the long-range limit it
becomes the (known) partially (an)isotropic generalisation of Haldane--Sha
stry\, while in the short-range limit it gives a variant of Heisenberg XXZ
with nontrivial boundary conditions. Underlying the model is a new quantu
m many-body system with spins that generalises the elliptic Ruijsenaars mo
del.\n\nBased on work in progress with Rob Klabbers (Humboldt U Berlin)\n

Féray (IECL\, CNRS et Université de Lorraine) as part of Séminaire de p
hysique mathématique IPhT\n\nLecture held in Salle Claude Itzykson\, Bât
. 774\, Orme des Merisiers.\n\nAbstract\nA meandric system of size n is a
non-intersecting collection of closed loops in the plane crossing the real
line in exactly 2n points (up to continuous deformation). In mathematical
physics terms\, it can be seen as a loop model on a random lattice. Conne
cted meandric systems are called meanders\, and their enumeration is a not
orious hard problem in enumerative combinatorics. In this talk\, we discus
s a different question\, raised independently by Goulden--Nica--Puder and
Kargin: what is the number of connected components $cc(M_n)$ of a uniform
random meandric system of size 2n? We prove that this number grows linear
with n\, and concentrates around its mean value\, in the sense that $cc(M_
n)/n$ converges in probability to a constant. Our main tool is the definit
ion of a notion of local convergence for meandric systems\, and the identi
fication of the “quenched Benjamini--Schramm” limit of $M_n$. The latt
er is the so-called infinite noodle\, a largely not understood percolation
model recently introduced by Curien\, Kozma\, Sidoravicius and Tournier.
\n\nOur main result has also a geometric interpretation\, regarding the Ha
sse diagram $H_n$ of the non-crossing partition lattice $NC(n)$: informall
y\, our result implies that\, in $H_n$\, almost all pairs of vertices are
asymptotically at the same distance from each other. We use here a connect
ion between $H_n$ and meandric systems discovered by Goulden\, Nica and Pu
der. \n\nBased on joint work with Paul Thevenin (University of Vienna).\n

ystems. Given a map with $N$ vertices\, this yields a function of the modu
li of the corresponding punctured Riemann surface\, which I will call an $
N$-point correlation function.\n\nI will conjecture that in the critical l
imit\, such correlation functions form a basis of solutions of certain con
formal bootstrap equations. They include all correlation functions of the
O(n) and Potts models\, and correlation functions that do not belong to an
y known model.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Clone symmetric function theory\nby Jeanne Scott (Brandeis Universit
y) as part of Séminaire de physique mathématique IPhT\n\nLecture held in
Salle Claude Itzykson\, Bât. 774\, Orme des Merisiers.\n\nAbstract\nIn 1
994 S. Okada introduced a family of non-commutative polynomials satisfying
a Pieri-type identity which recapitulates the branching rule of R. Stanle
y's Young-Fibonacci lattice. More generally\, products of these so called
"clone" Schur functions were shown to obey a non-commutative version of th
e Littlewood-Richardson identity with structure constants determined combi
natorially from the Young-Fibonacci lattice structure. \n\nIn this talk I'
ll survey Okada's clone theory with the aim of drawing parallels with the
(classical) theory of symmetric functions\, the representation theory of t
he symmetric group\, and the combinatorics of the Young lattice. I'd also
like to use the opportunity to report on some speculative work based on di
scussions with Leonid Petrov: Specifically a new concept of total positivi
ty related to clone Schur functions together with a corresponding "Stieltj
es" moment problem. If there's time\, I'll pose an open problem to the aud
ience of whether a matrix model can be meaningfully associated to certain
clone "tau" functions.\n

fields able to reproduce/model the implied intricate spatial structure of
kinematic quantities of interest\, and some crucial mechanisms of the Nav

DESCRIPTION:Title: Stellar Dynamics in Galactic Nuclei\nby Jean-Baptiste Fouvry (CNRS\,
Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris) as part of Séminaire de physique math
ématique IPhT\n\nLecture held in Salle Claude Itzykson\, Bât. 774\, Orme
des Merisiers.\n\nAbstract\nMost galaxies harbor a supermassive black hol
e in their centre around which orbits a stellar cluster\, the galactic nuc
leus. The unique proximity of the Milky-Way's central black hole\, SgrA*\,
offers an extraordinary opportunity to study such a crowded environment.
Although galactic nuclei are among the densest stellar systems in the univ
erse\, the steep potential well generated by the central black hole allows
for efficient long-term orbit-averaged interactions between the stars.\n\
nUltimately\, this drives the relaxation of the stellar orbits through an
intricate hierarchy of dynamical processes. In this presentation\, I will
report on recent developments in kinetic theory\, describe efficient numer
ical methods to simulate these dynamics\, and present first quantitative a
pplications of these frameworks to constrain SgrA*'s stellar content.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Liouville theory: from Segal's axioms to conformal blocks\nby Guilla
ume Baverez (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) as part of Séminaire de phy
sique mathématique IPhT\n\nLecture held in Salle Claude Itzykson\, Bât.
774\, Orme des Merisiers.\n\nAbstract\nIn Segal's axiomatisation\, conform
al field theories (CFT) can be constructed from (projective) representatio
ns of the semigroup of annuli (the set of annuli with parametrised boundar
ies endowed with the gluing operation). In the case of the Liouville CFT\,
we realise this idea by defining a certain family of Markov processes on
the space of distributions on the unit circle. Their generators exist as u
nbounded operators on the Hilbert space and represent the Virasoro algebra
(they are equivalent to the Sugawara construction). \nThis representation
is instrumental in the study of the conformal blocks of the theory. We ca
n define them using pants decomposition of the underlying surface\, and as
sociate an operator in the Hilbert space to each pair of pants. The gluing
of pairs of pants is represented by the composition of operators\, and th
e conformal blocks are essentially the spectral decomposition of these ope
rators. Their variation with respect to the complex structure of the surfa
ce is governed by the semigroup\, which is a version of the statement that
conformal blocks are horizontal with respect to the connection defined by
the stress-energy tensor. This allows us to show that the blocks do not d
epend on the choice of curves representing the pants decomposition. \nBase
