Title: R-Matrix Kac-Moody algebras, Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations and the elliptic quantum many-body problem Speaker: Ivan Cherednik (Univ. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) Abstract: The mini-course will be devoted to r-martrix Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations their relations to Kac-Moody algebras and applications to "elliptic radial parts" (the Olshanetsky-Perelomov operators and generalizations). The first day's lectures will be about general concept of r-matrix (for arbitrary root systems) and its Kac-Moody interpretation in the case of "A". We will consider the rational and trigonometric cases in detail and establish relations to the so-called KZB. The main theorem here is that the coinvariant (tau-function) satisfies the corresponding r-matrix KZ-equation. The second will be devoted to integral formulas for r-KZ. We will formulate and prove the key lemma about coinvariants which governs integral formulas for both KZ and its stationary variant and can be naturally extended to KZB. The third are about the construction of OP-type operators for arbitrary r-matrix based on the double affine Dunkl operators. The relations with double affine KZ will be also esatblished (Matsuo like isomorphism). Here the main point is to switch to affine root systems and ensure the convergence. The last will contain some discussion. For instance, we will give the formula for the "critical level" in the spherical case. Then we will consider the difference operators using the double affine Hecke algebras. ==============================================
