Цел на проекта

In the past decade, two major breakthroughs have significantly advanced mathematical physics. The first established a crucial link between the correlation functions of two-dimensional conformal field theories (2D CFTs)—known as conformal blocks—and a special class of integrable systems called the Painlevé equations. This connection, known as the Painlevé/CFT correspondence, led to the derivation of closed-form expressions for the highly transcendental solutions of the Painlevé equations, solving a long-standing problem.The second breakthrough provided a rigorous formulation of certain 2D CFTs through probabilistic frameworks such as Gaussian Multiplicative Chaos (GMC) measures and Conformal Loop Ensembles (CLE). These concepts have granted unprecedented analytic control over CFTs, particularly in the context of conformal blocks.This project aims to bridge these two approaches using Random Matrix Theory to develop a unified framework. Achieving this goal is both ambitious and highly desirable, as it would uncover a universal structure underlying CFTs and resolve critical conjectures in both mathematics and physics.
