An elliptic curve may be immersed in ${\mathbf{P}}^{N-1}$ as a degree $N$ curve using level $N$ structure. In the case where $N$ is odd, there are well known classical results dating back to Bianchi and Klein. In this paper we study the…

Global isothermic immersions are defined and studied with the aid of a connection between quadratic differentials and immersions. The applications are two problems stemming from the fundamental question: how much data is needed to identify…

We show that the theory of isothermic surfaces in $\E^3$ -- one of the oldest branches of differential geometry -- can be reformulated within the modern theory of completely integrable (soliton) systems. This enables one to study the…
