From dual gauge theories to dual spin models

Abstract

This brief review surveys recent progress driven by the gauge/Yang-Baxter equation (YBE) correspondence. This connection has proven to be a powerful tool for discovering novel integrable lattice spin models in statistical mechanics by exploiting dualities in supersymmetric gauge theories. In recent years, research has demonstrated the use of dual gauge theories to construct new lattice spin models that are dual to Ising-like models.
