Geometry and Integrability

 12 - 16 May 2025

ICMS, Bayes Centre, Edinburgh

Scientific Organisers:

  • Yuri Berest, Cornell University
  • Misha Feigin, University of Glasgow
  • Oleg Chalykh, University of Leeds
  • Sara Lombardo, Heriot-Watt University

About:

The area of integrable systems is a large and active area of research with lots of fruitful connections with algebra, geometry, analysis and theoretical physics. The workshop is devoted to interactions between integrability and geometry, highlighting recent developments where there has been substantial progress both in terms of establishing new connections and new structures.  

The workshop was centred around the following overlapping topics: Cherednik algebras and many-body problems; Poisson geometry, deformations and quantisation; Frobenius manifolds; discrete geometry and discrete dynamics. 

The workshop was also an occasion to celebrate the 70th birthday of Alexander Veselov who made foundational contributions to Integrable Systems and related areas.
