Abstract
The history of integrable systems is a story of deep mathematical structures emerging from physical problems. From classical mechanics to modern quantum theory, integrability continues to inspire new discoveries across mathematical physics.
In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, algebraic geometry and representation theory became fundamental in advancing the study of integrable systems. However, only in recent years has it become possible to fully elucidate the connections and dualities between various integrable systems in purely geometric terms.
In this talk, I will introduce a novel geometric structure—an oper—that captures the phase spaces of a large family of many-body integrable systems as well as the spectra of quantum spin chains. Our approach establishes deep connections with various areas of mathematical physics, including representation theory, cluster algebras, quantum cohomology, and even quantum hydrodynamics.
Speaker
My education begain in Russia where I learned math and physics atMoscow Insitute of Physics and Technology. I started my research career as a theoretical physicist after obtaining my PhD from University of Minnesota in 2012. At first, my research focus was drawn to various aspects of supersymmetric gauge theories and string theory. However, I have always been drawn to pure abstract mathematics since my student days. Since around 2017 I have been a full time mathematician.My current research is focused on the interaction between enumerative algebraic geometry, geometric representation theory and integrable systems. In general I work on physical mathematics which nowadays represents a large part of modern math. A significant amount of problems that are studied by mathematicians comes from string/gauge theory. More recently I began to study number theory and how it is connected to other branches of mathematics.

Member Seminar Intro
The BIMSA member seminar is a weekly event during which researchers engage in discussions about their extensive research interests, addressing a diverse audience that includes fellow researchers and all postdoctoral scholars within the institute. This forum provides a unique privilege and an invaluable opportunity for each research faculty member, serving as a speaker, to introduce their research field, promote the subject within the institute, and ignite the potential for future collaborations with other research groups within the institute.
The lecture format consists of a 30-minute colloquium-style presentation, thoughtfully tailored to be accessible to postdoctoral scholars and researchers from diverse disciplines within the institute. Following the presentation, a 15-minute discussion session is anticipated, involving active participation from postdocs representing various fields.
It is mandatory for all postdocs at the institute to actively participate in this event. The enthusiastic involvement of faculty members is greatly valued and will prove mutually beneficial for both the speaker and the junior audience.
