Integrable Systems and abelian Varieties

Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar

Speaker: Michael Semmel, University of Mainz, Germany
Location: 2112 MSB
Start time: Wed, Nov 28 2012, 4:10PM

Thirty years ago, M. Adler and P. van Moerbeke developed a strategy to study the algebraic geometry of integrable systems arising from Poisson commuting Hamiltonians. We apply the procedure on a system with two degrees of freedom discovered by Dorizzi-Grammaticos-Ramani, which is related to an abelian surface with (1:6)-polarisation.
