This special issue is dedicated to the 70th birthday of Alexander Its and aims to honor his many groundbreaking contributions to the theory of integrable systems over the past 40 years. In particular, topics for this issue include:

• nonlinear evolution equations, inverse scattering theory, unified transform method, algebro-geometric methods;
• isomonodromy deformation method, tau functions, Painlevé equations;
• exactly solvable models, quantum integrable systems, correlation functions, operator determinants;
• random matrices, orthogonal polynomials, universality, interacting particle systems, beta-ensembles.

There is no limit to the length of an article. Deadline for paper submission is August 31, 2023.

How to Submit an Article to the Issue.
