The group

The Milano 1 String Theory Group is part of the Theoretical Division of the Department of Physics at the University of Milan and INFN – Milan.

Our research explores the connections between string theory, quantum field theory, gravity and geometry. The main topics include holography and black holes, supergravity, and non-perturbative aspects of quantum field theory, including supersymmetric gauge theories and dualities. We also investigate fundamental questions in quantum gravity, with a particular focus on the Swampland program and its connections with the holographic duality.

Bethe Ansatz equations, Calogero-Moser systems and elliptic functions

Mario De Marco, Université Libre de Bruxelles

The superconformal indeces of 4d SCFTs count their BPS states and, holographically, give information on the microstates of the dual black holes. A possible approach to the exact computation of the index requires solving the so-called Bethe Ansatz equations (BAE). In this talk, I will introduce a rewriting of the BAE in terms of elliptic functions, focusing on the case with 16 supercharges. Such a rewriting permits 1) to quantitatively capture the conjectural relation of BAE with the Calogero-Moser integrable system (and the related continuous solutions) and 2) to rephrase the BAE in terms of configurations of lines on a plane intersecting an elliptic curve.
