Abstract:  
I will discuss the theoretical status of the finite temperature and mag-netic field transport in one dimensional quantum magnets. In particular, I will focus on recent developments and open issues related to the transport of integrable models [1, 2, 3, 4] and their analysis using the Bethe ansatz method. These singular systems are commonly used in the description of quasi-one dimensional magnetic materials. They are recently attracting interest in connection to experiments, following the discovery of unusual thermal conductivity in quasi-1D magnetic compounds [5].
