Prof. Pavel Etingof is a Professor of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His research interests are primarily in the intersection of representation theory and mathematical physics, such as quantum groups and integrable systems. In 1999, he was a Fellow of the Clay Mathematics Institute. He was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Beijing in 2002. He is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society. He was elected Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2016. In 2010, together with Slava Gerovitch, he co-founded the MIT Program for Research In Mathematics, Engineering and Science (PRIMES) for high school students, and has since served as its Chief Research Advisor.

Syllabus:
Plan of lectures: Professor Etingof will give a series of 10 lectures each of 1 hour duration. Two lectures will be given on each day of the program, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
The topics covered will include Principal G-bundles, Moduli stacks of G-bundles on smooth projective curves and their double quotient realization, stable bundles and Higgs fields, Hitchin integrable systems, parabolic structures and quantization of Hitchin systems. The relationship with Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov connections, monodromy representations and quantum groups will also be discussed.
Apart from the lectures by Prof. Etingof, some discussion sessions will also be organized.
