Integrable Systems and Algebraic Geometry: Volume 2

Created as a celebration of mathematical pioneer Emma Previato, this comprehensive book highlights the connections between algebraic geometry and integrable systems, differential equations, mathematical physics, and many other areas. The authors, many of whom have been at the forefront of research into these topics for the last decades, have all been influenced by Previato's research, as her collaborators, students, or colleagues. The diverse articles in the book demonstrate the wide scope of Previato's work and the inclusion of several survey and introductory articles makes the text accessible to graduate students and non-experts, as well as researchers. The articles in this second volume discuss areas related to algebraic geometry, emphasizing the connections of this central subject to integrable systems, arithmetic geometry, Riemann surfaces, coding theory and lattice theory.

Ron Donagi is Professor of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Pennsylvania. He works in algebraic geometry and string theory, and is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society. He has written and edited several books, including Integrable Systems and Quantum Groups (2009). Tony Shaska is Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Oakland University, Michigan. He works in algebraic and arithmetic geometry with an emphasis on algebraic curves and their Jacobians, including arithmetic aspects. He is an active researcher and has edited many books including Computational Aspects of Algebraic Curves (2005), Advances in Coding Theory and Cryptography (2007), Advances on Superelliptic Curves and Their Applications (2015) and Algebraic Curves and Their Applications (2019).
