| Research Abstract |
Certain differential equations are studied from the point of view of geometry and the theory of integrable systems. The solution of such an equation can be simulated, and visualized, as the motion of a lattice of point masses with nonlinear interactions between neighbouring masses. An important example from quantum field theory is the tt*-Toda lattice, first studied by Cecotti and Vafa. Guest and Lin have obtained theoretical results on the existence of solutions, consistent with computer simulations. Other examples such as the Kuramoto lattice are being studied. Future applications, e. g. to the mathematical interpretation of synchronization, are anticipated.
