Summary
Unveiling the Secrets: Integrability, Self-Duality, and Twistor Theory
It has been known for some time that many of the familiar integrable systems of equations are symmetry reductions of self-duality equations on a metric or on a Yang-Mills connection (for example, the Korteweg-de Vries and nonlinear Schrödinger equations are reductions of the self-dual Yang-Mills equation). This book explores in detail the connections between self-duality and integrability, and also the applicatio…

Critics Review
This excellently written book should be of interest to two distinct groups. Geometers will be able to learn about integrable systems, and vice versa, integrable theorists will be introduced to the geometry underlying many of their constructions.’ This book provides ample food for both mathematical thought and practice, and is recommended reading for all who have some interest in the intriguing notion of integrability’Bulletin London Mathematical Society
