Geometry & Topology Seminar
The geometry and algebraic integrability of discrete confocal quadrics
Wolfgang Schief (UNSW)
Thursday 25 May 12:00–13:00 in Carslaw 535A.
Please join us for lunch after the talk!
Abstract:
Confocal quadrics have fascinated not only mathematicians for centuries
due to their beautiful geometric properties and numerous relations and
applications to various branches of mathematics. Here, we present a
natural discretisation procedure which preserves many of the classical
properties, including integrability.
