Friday March 16, 14:30--15:20, Carslaw 373

Speaker:

Atsuo Kuniba (University of Tokyo)

Title:

Combinatorics of Bethe ansatz and ultradiscrete integrable systems

Abstract

My talk will be an exposition of the interplay among crystal base, (theory of quantum group at $q=0$), combinatorial version of Bethe ansatz, ultradiscretization of soliton equations, which led to the solution of ultradiscrete integrable systems known as box-ball systems and their generalizations.
