Integrability and Twistor Theory

Edinburgh

Wednesday March 13th, 2019

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