This volume contains a collection of papers on algebraic curves and their applications. While algebraic curves traditionally have provided a path toward modern algebraic geometry, they also provide many applications in number theory, computer security and cryptography, coding theory, differential equations, and more.

Created as a celebration of mathematical pioneer Emma Previato, this comprehensive book highlights the connections between algebraic geometry and integrable systems, differential equations, mathematical physics, and many other areas. The authors, many of whom have been at the forefront of research into these topics for the last decades, have all been influenced by Previato's research, as her collaborators, students, or colleagues. The diverse articles in the book demonstrate the wide scope of Previato's work and the inclusion of several survey and introductory articles makes the text accessible to graduate students and non-experts, as well as researchers. The articles in this second volume discuss areas related to algebraic geometry, emphasizing the connections of this central subject to integrable systems, arithmetic geometry, Riemann surfaces, coding theory and lattice theory.

The diverse articles in the book demonstrate the wide scope of Previato's work and the inclusion of several survey and introductory articles makes the text accessible to graduate students and non-experts, as well as researchers. This first volume covers a wide range of areas related to integrable systems, often emphasizing the deep connections with algebraic geometry. Common themes include theta functions and Abelian varieties, Lax equations, integrable hierarchies, Hamiltonian flows and difference operators. These powerful tools are applied to spinning top, Hitchin, Painleve and many other notable special equations.

This book is a collection of articles on abelian varieties and number theory dedicated to Gerhard Frey's 75th birthday. It contains original articles by experts in the area of arithmetic and algebraic geometry. The articles cover topics on Abelian varieties and finitely generated Galois groups, ranks of Abelian varieties and Mordell-Lang conjecture, Tate-Shafarevich group and isogeny volcanos, endomorphisms of superelliptic Jacobians, obstructions to local-global principles over semi-global fields, Drinfield modular variaties, representations of etale fundamental groups and specialization of algebraic cycles, Deuring's theory of constant reductions, etc. The book will be a valuable resource to graduate students and experts working on Abelian varieties and related areas.
