Here's what the Space.com team is enjoying this weekend: our latest recs to inspire, entertain, and fuel your curiosity about the universe.  Tariq Malik, Editor-in-Chief: " I am currently reading the 'Martian Contingency' by Mary Robinette Kowal, which is the 4th novel in the Lady Astronaut Series, and it's great. So much so, I missed my train stop while reading it on the way home from the office this week and had to take a Lyft to my car from another town."    Monisha Ravisetti, Astronomy Channel Editor: "Started watching 'the Paper' ('The Office' spinoff) and it’s actually way better than I expected!"  Brett Tingley, Managing Editor: "I'm reading 'Inspired Enterprise: How NASA, the Smithsonian, and the Aerospace Community Helped Launch Star Trek' by Glen E. Swanon. It's a fascinating look at how much technical knowledge went into launching one of the seminal science fiction franchises and made it feel so believable."  Kenna Hughes-Castleberry, Content Manager: "I started the new season of 'Only Murders in the Building' and it is fantastic! Steve Martin and Martin Short are hilarious as always and the costumes and fall vibes are perfect for cozying up to."  Stay up-to-date on all things space science, news, and entertainment by subscribing to our newsletters.

Уважаемые коллеги!

На заседании Ученого совета ИТФ в пятницу 19.09 будет заслушан доклад:

11:30

М.Ю. Лашкевич, А.Г. Нестуров

Формфакторы композитных операторов твиста в модели sh-Гордона на
многолистной римановой поверхности в квазиклассическом приближении

Рассматривается модель sh-Гордона на многолистной римановой поверхности
с плоской метрикой и разрезами, соединяющими листы. Такую модель можно
рассматривать как несколько копий модели sh-Гордона на плоскости,
связанных между собой специальными операторами (операторами твиста),
отвечающими концевые точки разрезов - точки ветвления. Можно рассмотреть
более сложные операторы - композитные операторы твиста, отвечающие
локальным операторам, помещенным в точках ветвления. В работе
вычисляются формфакторы нескольких серий таких операторов в
квазиклассическом пределе. Квазиклассический подход не использует
квантовой интегрируемости, но существенно опирается на точные решения
классической модели. Он позволил нам лучше разобраться в перенормировках
локальных операторов.

ID и пароль онлайн-трансляций в Zoom те же, что и для предыдущих
трансляций семинаров и докладов на Ученом совете:
