About this title

Synopsis

Based on courses held at the Feza GÜrsey Institute, this collection of survey articles introduces advanced graduate students to an exciting area on the border of mathematics and mathematical physics. Including articles by key names such as Calogero, Donagi and Mason, it features the algebro-geometric material from Donagi as well as the twistor space methods in Woodhouse's contribution, forming a bridge between the pure mathematics and the more physical approaches.

Book Description

This collection of survey articles is based on a semester held at the Feza GÜrsey Institute to introduce advanced graduate students to this exciting area lying on the border of mathematics and mathematical physics. There are articles by some key names such as Calogero, Donagi and Mason himself. One attractive feature is the inclusion of the algebro-geometric material from Donagi as well as the twistor space methods exemplified by Woodhouse's article, which forms a bridge between the pure mathematics and the more physical approaches.
