Integrable Systems. Twistors, Loop Groups, and Riemann Surfaces

Аннотация

This book is based on lectures given by the authors at an instructional conference on integrable systems held at the Mathematical Institute in Oxford in September 1997. Most of the participants were graduate students from the United Kingdom and other European countries. The lectures emphasized geometric aspects of the theory of integrable systems, particularly connections with algebraic geometry, twistor theory, loop groups, and the Grassmannian picture.
