Integrable Days at Loughborough: 27-28 November 1998

 
A two-day workshop on integrable systems will be held at Loughborough University, UK on 27 & 28 November 1998.

All are welcome!

Limited funds may be available to support the attendance of postgraduate research students at the workshop. Enquiries should be addressed to the organisers.

Schedule:

Talks will be 45 minutes long followed by 10 minutes discussion time.

Friday 27 November

16:15 Harry Braden (Edinburgh): A new solution to the WDVV equations and integrable systems
17:10 John Gibbons (IC, London): Reductions of the Benney hierarchy and conformal maps
18:05 Vadim Kuznetsov (Leeds): Bäcklund transformation versus separation of variables
19:00 Pub/Restaurant

Saturday 28 November

09:00 Edward Corrigan (Durham): On the formulation of Lax pairs for Calogero-Moser models
09:55 Ian Strachan (Hull): Hypercomplex integrable systems
10:50 Coffee
11:15 Michael Singer (Edinburgh): Algebraic curves and the discrete Nahm equations
12:10 Paul Sutcliffe (Kent): Instantons and Skyrmions
13:05 Oleg Chalykh (Loughborough and Moscow): Bispectral duality

Venue:

All talks will take place in room W0.02. This lecture theatre is in the imaginatively titled W-building on the west side of campus. It houses the Electrical Engineering, Physics and Mathematical Sciences Departments.

Here are some maps: one of the campus of Loughborough University; one helping you to reach the campus.

If you are arriving by car, the easiest way to reach the campus is via the M1, junction 23. Take the A512 toward Loughborough and at the first roundabout turn right and then left. The building immediately after the access barriers is the W-building and is the home of the School of Mathematics and the workshop venue. You should be able to park just before the barriers in one of the nearby carparks.

If you are arriving by train, the most convenient way to reach the campus from the railway station is by taxi. The cost is approximately £4. Ask for the School of Mathematics.

Anyone anticipating difficulty arriving should notify the organisers who will be pleased to help.

Likewise, anyone who would like assistance in finding accommodation for Friday night should inform us.
