IGST2025: Integrability in Gauge and String Theory 2025

What is IGST?

The “Integrability in Gauge and String Theory” (IGST) conference series, initiated in 2005, has grown into a well-established event for researchers in theoretical and mathematical physics focused on integrability in gauge and string theories. This year, we celebrate 20 years of IGST, a milestone marking two decades of collaboration and progress in the field. Previous conferences have been hosted by renowned institutions, including in Paris, Potsdam, Stockholm, Zürich, and, notably, at King’s College London in 2015. This year’s conference also commemorates the 10th anniversary of IGST’s London edition, further emphasizing the series’ international reach and its role in fostering a dynamic community of researchers.

The IGST series has provided an ongoing platform to address complex issues and explore exact results in holographic systems, particularly in theories such as N=4 Super Yang-Mills, ABJM theory, and other holographic systems. These areas are of particular interest due to their relevance in understanding the underlying structure of quantum field theories and the challenges posed by non-perturbative effects. Discussions at IGST also extend beyond these models, addressing broader applications of integrability methods across theoretical physics and mathematical physics, particularly in the analysis of quantum field theories and other complex physical systems.
