- 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.
