POSTPONED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER

This talk will focus on two questions concerning quasilinear systems of PDEs (also known as systems of hydrodynamic type): under what conditions are they Hamiltonian, and under what conditions are they integrable? We’ll see how such conditions can be formulated in terms of geometric objects on n-manifolds.
