Integrability and Number Theory

Edinburgh

Friday March 12th, 2010

This is a meeting of the Classical and Quantum Integrability seminar organised by the Universities of Glasgow, Leeds, Loughborough and the Edinburgh Mathematical Physics Group (Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt). The meeting is partially funded by the London Mathematical Society, the EMPG and Edinburgh University Geometry Seminar.

The meeting will look at some interactions between integrable systems and number theory. The talks are intended for a general audience with emphasis on connections between these areas.
