Summary
This textbook is designed to give graduate students an understanding of integrable systems via the study of Riemann surfaces, loop groups, and twistors. The book has its origins in a series of lecture courses given by the authors, all of whom are internationally known mathematicians and renowned expositors. It is written in an accessible and informal style, and fills a gap in the existing literature. The introduction by Nigel Hitchin addresses the meaning ofintegrability: how do we recognize…

What They're Saying
Critics Review
“the subject of the book is fascinating and written versions of the lecture series are nicley presented and preserve well the informal spirit of the lectures. This is a very useful book for graduate students and for mathematicians (or physicists) from other fields interested in the topic’ EMS”The lecturers cover an enormous amount of material, ranging from algeraic geometry and the theory of Riemann surfaces to loop groups, connections, Yang-Mills equations and twister theory. However despite this wide range, the book is surprisingly self-contained and readable” Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society”
