We discuss two classes of exact (in $\a'$) string solutions described by conformal sigma models. They can be viewed as two possibilities of constructing a conformal model out of the non-conformal one based on the metric of a $D$-dimensional…
Various topics related to the $O(N)$ model in one spacetime dimension (i.e. ordinary quantum mechanics) are considered. The focus is on a pedagogical presentation of quantum field theory methods in a simpler context where many exact results…
We consider a gravitational model on a manifold M = M_0 x M_1 x...x M_n with oriented connected Einstein internal spaces M_1,...,M_n. The matter part of the action contains several scalar fields and antisymmetric forms. With Ricci-flat…
We review a surprising correspondence between certain two-dimensional integrable models and the spectral theory of ordinary differential equations. Particular emphasis is given to the relevance of this correspondence to certain problems in…
We introduce a non-perturbative framework for computing structure constants of single-trace operators in the N=4 SYM theory at large N. Our approach features new vertices, with hexagonal shape, that can be patched together into three- and…
We investigate a relationship between a particular class of two-dimensional integrable non-linear $\sigma$-models and variations of Hodge structures. Concretely, our aim is to study the classical dynamics of the $\lambda$-deformed $G/G$…
We show that two-dimensional sigma models are equivalent to certain perturbed conformal field theories. When the fields in the sigma model take values in a space G/H for a group G and a maximal subgroup H, the corresponding conformal field…

We study dynamics of scalar fields on a large class of geometries described by integrable sigma models. Although equations of motion are not separable due to absence of isometries and Killing tensors, we completely determine the spectra…
These lecture notes concern the semi-holomorphic 4d Chern-Simons theory and its applications to classical integrable field theories in 2d and in particular integrable sigma-models. After introducing the main properties of the Chern-Simons…
This article reviews the application of integrability to the spectral problem of strings on AdS_5 x S^5 and its deformations. We begin with a pedagogical introduction to integrable field theories culminating in the description of their…
We discuss the quasiclassical geometry and integrable systems related to the gauge/string duality. The analysis of quasiclassical solutions to the Bethe anzatz equations arising in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence is performed,…
By considering a (partial) topological twisting of supersymmetric Yang-Mills compactified on a 2d space with `t Hooft magnetic flux turned on we obtain a supersymmetric $\sigma$-model in 2 dimensions. For N=2 SYM this maps Donaldson…
We study 2D non-linear sigma models on a group manifold with a special form of the metric. We address the question of integrability for this special class of sigma models. We derive two algebraic conditions for the metric on the group…
We review the construction of exactly solvable lattice models whose continuum limits are $N=2$ supersymmetric models. Both critical and off-critical models are discussed. The approach we take is to first find lattice models with natural…
For the symmetric space sigma model in the internal metric formalism we explicitly construct the lagrangian in terms of the axions and the dilatons of the solvable Lie algebra gauge and then we exactly derive the axion-dilaton field…

We enumerate generalizations of the superintegrability property $<character>\ \sim {\rm character}$ and illuminate possible general structures behind them. We collect variations of original formulas available up to date and emphasize the…
String propagation on a curved background defines an embedding problem of surfaces in differential geometry. Using this, we show that in a wide class of backgrounds the classical dynamics of the physical degrees of freedom of the string…
