Algebraic Integrability, Painlevé Geometry and Lie Algebras

  • Aimed at a wide readership of mathematicians and physicists, graduate students and professionals
  • The main thrust of the book is to show how algebraic geometry, Lie theory and Painlevé analysis can be used to explicitly solve integrable differential equations and to construct the algebraic tori on which they linearize
  • The book is reasonably self-contained and presents numerous examples
  • Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Reviews

From the reviews of the first edition:

"The aim of this book is to explain ‘how algebraic geometry, Lie theory and Painlevé analysis can be used to explicitly solve integrable differential equations’. … One of the main advantages of this book is that the authors … succeeded to present the material in a self-contained manner with numerous examples. As a result it can be also used as a reference book for many subjects in mathematics. In summary … a very good book which covers many interesting subjects in modern mathematical physics." (Vladimir Mangazeev, The Australian Mathematical Society Gazette, Vol. 33 (4), 2006)

"This is an extensive volume devoted to the integrability of nonlinear Hamiltonian differential equations. The book is designed as a teaching textbook and aims at a wide readership of mathematicians and physicists, graduate students and professionals. … The book provides many useful tools and techniques in the field of completely integrable systems. It is a valuable source for graduate students and researchers who like to enter the integrability theory or to learn fascinating aspects of integrable geometry of nonlinear differential equations." (Ma Wen-Xiu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1083, 2006)
