Integrability, Geometry, and Physics: A Unified View
Abstract: What do water waves have to do with mirror symmetry, or even with Kovalevskaya tops? All of them are, or are closely related to, integrable systems, in particular to a class of algebraically completely integrable systems known as Hitchin systems. In this talk, I will explore how Hitchin systems provide a unifying framework connecting seemingly disparate areas of mathematics and physics. The presentation will be accessible to a general mathematical audience, while offering concrete connections for specialists in geometry, topology, and algebraic geometry.
