Abstract
I will discuss theoretical and experimental developments on the thermal transport in quasi - one dimensional quantum magnets. In particular, I will focus on open issues and controversial results related to the finite temperature transport of integrable models. These singular systems are commonly used in the description of quasi-one dimensional materials. They are recently attracting interest in connection to experiments, following the discovery of unconventional thermal conductivity in quasi-1D magnetic materials.
