The conference in memory of Alexei Zamolodchikov will be held two years after his untimely death in October 2007. Alyosha Zamolodchikov spent one year at the IPhT in 2006, and was expected to join the lab as a member of CNRS. His exceptional career in theoretical physics has been marked by several major discoveries, with a profound and lasting impact on the work of a whole generation of specialists in quantum field theory and mathematical physics. The conference will focus on exact methods in quantum field theory and integrable spin chains, two-dimensional quantum gravity and exact results in supersymmetric gauge theories and superstrings. The recent advances in these subjects are often based on techniques and ideas developed by Alyosha Zamolodchikov. The conference will be held from 5 to 7 November 2009, the first two days at the SPhT Saclay and the third day at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris. AfficheAlZ-2009.pdf (239 Ko)
