Description
The ODE/IM correspondence gives a relation between the ordinary differential
equations and the two-dimensional quantum integrable models.
We study the linear problem of the modified affine Toda field equations for
an affine Lie algebra. In the conformal limit we show that the linear problem
reduces to the ODE which was found by Dorey et al.
In this talk we first review the ODE/IM correspondence from the viewpoint of
the affine Toda field equation. We then apply this correspondence to study the
Argyres-Douglas theories, which are interacting N=2 superconformal field theories in four dimensions.
