Project Description

The goal of this project is to develop techniques for tackling the serious difficulties caused in the quantisation of moduli spaces of flat connections on Riemann surfaces associated to compact and non-compact gauge supergroups. The quantisation of such moduli spaces is expected to define new quantum integrable multi-particle models. We want to use Chern-Simons observables as spectrum generating algebras, and as a link between topological field theories and integrable systems.
