Geometry Seminar
Integrable Systems and Differential Geometry

We will present an overview of the role that integrable systems theory has played (sometimes retrospectively) in solving problems of the classical differential geometry of curves and surfaces (such as classifying and constructing constant curvature immersions into space forms). Time permitting, some more recent developments related to discrete differential geometry will be touched on.
