The book “Integrability using the Sine-Gordon and Thirring Duality“, with sole author Alessandro Torrielli, has been published by IOP (link to IOP page). A synopsis of the book follows. Quantum field theory is typically not solvable in closed form and represents a very complex and extremely accurate description of elementary particle physics. Integrable quantum field […]
