Integrable Systems and Foliations: Feuilletages et Systèmes Intégrables / Edition 1

by Claude Albert, Robert Brouzet, Jean P. Dufour

Overview

The articles in this volume are an outgrowth of a colloquium "Systemes Integrables et Feuilletages," which was held in honor of the sixtieth birthday of Pierre Molino.

The topics cover the broad range of mathematical areas which were of keen interest to Molino, namely, integral systems and more generally symplectic geometry and Poisson structures, foliations and Lie transverse structures, transitive structures, and classification problems.

Contributors to the volume include: Y. Benoist, G. Cairns, V. Cavalier, H. Flaschka, E. Ghys, A. Haefliger, B. Jessup, A. Lichnerowicz, G. Meigniez, I. Moerdijk, J. Pitkethly, T. Ratiu, J. Turiel, I. Vaisman, and P. Vanhaechke.
