| Abstract: | After recalling the definition of a non-ultralocal classical integrable field theory, I will review how these theories can be thought of as classical Gaudin models associated with affine Kac-Moody algebra. I will also outline how they can be obtained from 4d Chern-Simons theory. I will then explain why this change of perspective is expected to (i) provide a general framework for quantising non-utralocal integrable field theories, and (ii) underly the ODE/IM correspondence for these theories by analogy with the well-understood case of Gaudin models associated with finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebras. |
