Groups and algebras in quantum theory and relations with integrable systems (81R12) String and superstring theories; other extended objects (e.g., branes) in quantum field theory (81T30)

Abstract: The role of integrable systems in string theory is discussed. We remind old examples of the correspondence between stringy partition functions or effective actions and integrable equations, based on effective application of the matrix model technique. Then we turn to a new example, coming from the Nekrasov deformation of the Seiberg-Witten prepotential. In the last case the deformed theory is described by a different statistical model, which becomes equivalent to a partition function of a topological string. The full partition function of string theory arises therefore always as a certain "quantization" of its quasiclassical geometry.
