Geometric Aspects of Discrete and Ultra-Discrete Integrable Systems
This satellite workshop (30 March - 3 April 2009) was part of the Isaac Newton Institute Programme on Discrete Integrable Systems (19 January - 3 July 2009). The local organisers were Claire Gilson, Christian Korff and Jon Nimmo. Our contact with the organisers of the Newton Institute Programme was Prof Orlando Ragnisco (Roma Tre).
The workshop brought together different communities of researchers working on classical and quantum aspects of integrable systems as well as experts on combinatorial representation theory and crystals. The scientific programme had three strands:
- Birational Yang-Baxter maps, tropical R-matrices and geometric crystals,
- Cellular automata, box and ball systems, combinatorial R-matrices and crystal bases,
- Geometry associated with discrete integrable systems.
There will be a proceedings volume for this workshop in the online journal Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications (SIGMA) . Deadline for paper submission is the 15th September 2009.
Participants as well as non-participants are invited to submit contributions related to the scientific theme of the workshop.
