Hitchin Systems, Spectral Curves and KP equations
Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar| Speaker: | Andrew Hodge, UC Davis |
| Location: | 3106 MSB |
| Start time: | Tue, Feb 19 2008, 1:10PM |
The Hitchin system is a algebraically completely integrable system defined on the Higgs moduli space. I will explain what all of those words mean. In the process, we will see spectral curves and the KP system on the Sato Grassmannian.
