Integrability as Effective Principle of Nonperturbative Field and String Theories
arXiv:hep-th/9608161
Abstract
One of the perspectives in modern quantum field and string theory is related with the attempts to go beyond the perturbation theory. It turns out that a key principle in the formulation of all known non-perturbative results is {\it integrability}, i.e. arising of the structures of completely integrable systems. I discuss several important steps in this direction and speculate on its further possible development.
