Course overview and goals
In recent years, the eigenvalue problem or the two-point boundary value problem has been studied from the viewpoint of quantum field theory and string theory. This approach provides a new analytical method for the eigenvalue problem. In this lecture, we solve some simple eigenvalue problems using supersymmetric gauge theory, especially the Seiberg-Witten theory. The present method can be applied to the quantum integrable model and quasi-normal modes in black-hole physics.
Course description and aims
The purpose of the lecture is to understand supersymmetric gauge theories and the method of solving eigenvalue problems using gauge theory. We also learn its application to quantum Integrable Models and quasi-normal modes in black-hole physics.
Keywords
Supersymmetric gauge theory, Seibeg-Witten theory, eigenvalue problem, quasi-normal modes
