The articles in this volume provide a panoramic view of the role of geometry in integrable systems, firmly rooted in surface theory but currently branching out in all directions.Th e longer articles by Bobenko (the Bonnet problem), Dorfmeister (the generalized Weierstrass representation), Joyce (special Lagrangian 3-folds) and Terng (geometry of soliton equations) are substantial surveys of several aspects of the subject. The shorter ones indicate more briefly how the classical ideas have spread throughout differential geometry, symplectic geometry, algebraic geometry, and theoretical physics.Published by Mathematical Society of Japan and distributed by World Scientific Publishing Co. for all markets except North AmericaFormat: HardcoverNo of Pages: 510Imprint: Mathematical Society Of Japan, JapanPublication date: 20081111Series: Advanced Studies In Pure Mathematics Show more
