Abstract
Integrable field theories have infinitely many symmetries and are amenable to exact methods, offering far greater control than generic field theories. Most well-known examples arise in one or two dimensions, but in recent years there has been growing interest in their higher-dimensional counterparts. I will give an introduction to integrability in more than two dimensions and discuss some nontrivial observables in these theories. Related topics include holomorphic-topological Chern-Simons theories, twistor theory, and self-dual Yang-Mills (instantons).
