KITS-IOP-ITP Joint Seminar
Title: Algebraic Geometry and Bethe Ansatz
Speaker: Prof. Yunfeng Jiang (Southeast University)
Time: Oct. 14 (Friday), 10:00
Place: Rm M830, IOP-CAS
Abstract: 
 Computational algebraic geometry (CGA) and Bethe ansatz seems to be two distant research areas. In this talk, I will show that by combining the powerful tools such as Groebner basis and companion matrix in CGA with Bethe ansatz, we can develop new analytic methods to compute a large number of physical quantities for integrable spin chains of finite length. These methods have wide applications ranging from high energy physics to condensed matter physics. I will first present the basic ideas of the method and then discuss various applications in different research areas.
