Henrik Aratyn (auth.), Henrik Aratyn, Tom D. Imbo, Wai-Yee Keung, Uday Sukhatme (eds.)3540639861, 9783540639862

This book combines supersymmetry modelling in quantum mechanics and integrable models in a unique way. It addresses researchers as well as graduate students. Along with articles that present new technical results, the reader will also find pedagogically written reviews. Recent applications of supersymmetric integrable models are also given.
