Integrability and hidden symmetries in quantum field theory and strings

The conference is devoted to exact methods in QFT and string theory. Of particular interest is finding integrable structures in supersymmetric gauge theories and the symmetry algebras that underlie those. With this meeting, we hope to bring together researchers who focus on the field/string theory side and those who study representation theory of quantum infinite-dimensional algebras, to potentially result in a fruitful interplay of ideas and collaborations.

The conference will take place in Boğaziçi University in Istanbul, Turkey, from 17 to 21 August 2026.

Topics include:

  • Integrability in supersymmetric gauge theories
  • Representation theory of Yangians and quantum algebras
  • Modern string theory calculations
