Few people have proved more influential in the field of
differential and algebraic geometry, and in showing how this links
with mathematical physics, than Nigel Hitchin. Oxford University's
Savilian Professor of Geometry has made fundamental contributions
in areas as diverse as: spin geometry, instanton and monopole
equations, twistor theory, symplectic geometry of moduli spaces,
integrables systems, Higgs bundles, Einstein metrics, hyperkahler
geometry, Frobenius manifolds, Painleve equations, special
Lagrangian geometry and mirror symmetry, theory of grebes, and many
more.
He was previously Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge
University, as well as Professor of Mathematics at the University
of Warwick, is a Fellow of the Royal Society and has been the
President of the London Mathematical Society.
The chapters in this fascinating volume, written by some of the
greats in their fields (including four Fields Medalists), show how
Hitchin's ideas have impacted on a wide variety of subjects. The
book grew out of the Geometry Conference in Honour of Nigel
Hitchin, held in Madrid, with some additional contributions, and
should be required reading for anyone seeking insights into the
overlap between geometry and physics."
