Description:
The study of isomonodromic deformation
equations is currently in very active
development, motivated by the central role of
such equations in a number of areas of quantum
and statistical physics. The main domains to
which this approach is applicable are:
i.Computation of correlation functions in quantum integrable systems and lattice models of statistical physics; ii.The spectral theory of random matrices, with applications to quantum gravity; iii.Topological field theory, with applications to solution of the DVVW equations through the theory of Frobenius manifolds; iv.Scaling reductions of classical integrable systems.
