Quiver gauge theories, TQFTs and integrable lattice models
I will explain how a certain class of supersymmetric gauge theories give rise to integrable lattice models in statistical mechanics, via topological quantum field theories (TQFTs). In this correspondence, Seiberg duality of gauge theory translates to the Yang-Baxter equation on the lattice model side. Time permitting, I will also discuss an application of the correspondence to surface defects in supersymmetric gauge theories.
