Constrained Many-body Dynamics

International Workshop
March 26 - 30, 2019

Constraints form a constitutive element of many theories of matter, such as in gauge theories in high energy and correlated electron physics, frustrated systems in condensed matter physics, or a range of archetypal models in statistical physics. At present, the dynamics in many-body systems with constraints is seeing a rapid progress, driven by developments both in theory and experiment. This workshop aims to provide a platform for discussing and advancing these developments.

Topics include

  • Gauge theory dynamics

  • Quantum scars

  • Dynamics of spin liquids

  • Kinetically constrained systems

  • Confinement dynamics

  • Fractons

  • Many-body localization

  • Disorder-free localization
