Integrability and Hyperbolic Monopoles

Edinburgh

Friday May 10th, 2013

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 and is joint with the University of Edinburgh Geometry and EMPG seminars.

The meeting will review hyperbolic monopoles and the connections between these and integrable systems. The talks are intended for a general audience with emphasis on connections between these areas.
