Integrable Systems and Algebraic Geometry

Created as a celebration of mathematical pioneer Emma Previato this comprehensive book highlights the connections between algebraic geometry and integrable systems differential equations mathematical physics and many other areas. The authors many of whom have been at the forefront of research into these topics for the last decades have all been influenced by Previato''s research as her collaborators students or colleagues. The diverse articles in the book demonstrate the wide scope of Previato''s work and the inclusion of several survey and introductory articles makes the text accessible to graduate students and non-experts as well as researchers. The articles in this second volume discuss areas related to algebraic geometry emphasizing the connections of this central subject to integrable systems arithmetic geometry Riemann surfaces coding theory and lattice theory.
