Integrable Systems - Twistors, Loop Groups, and Riemann Surfaces

Zusatztext The lecturers cover an enormous amount of material! ranging from algeraic geometry and the theory of Riemann surfaces to loop groups! connections! Yang-Mills equations and twister theory. However despite this wide range! the book is surprisingly self-contained and readable. Informationen zum Autor Nigel Hitchin is Savilian Professor of Geometry at the University of OxfordGraeme Segal is Emeritus Fellow of All Souls College, University of OxfordRichard Ward is Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Durham University Klappentext Designed to give graduate students an understanding of integrable systems via the study of Riemann surfaces, loop groups, and twistors, this book has its origins in a lecture series given by the internationally renowned authors. Written in an accessible, informal style, it fills a gap in the existing literature.
