The general solution of a 7D analogue of the 3D Euler top equation is shown to be given by an integration over a Riemann surface with genus 9. The 7D model is derived from the 8D $Spin(7)$ invariant self-dual Yang-Mills equation depending…

This letter describes a completely-integrable system of Yang-Mills-Higgs equations which generalizes the Hitchin equations on a Riemann surface to arbitrary k-dimensional complex manifolds. The system arises as a dimensional reduction of a…
Some aspects of the connection between differential geometry and multidimensional soliton equations are discussed.
Some of the most important classes of surfaces in projective 3-space are reviewed: these are isothermally asymptotic surfaces, projectively applicable surfaces, surfaces of Jonas, projectively minimal surfaces, etc. It is demonstrated that…
Generalisations of the familiar Euler top equations in three dimensions are proposed which admit a sufficiently large number of conservation laws to permit integrability by quadratures. The usual top is a classical analogue of the Nahm…
In analogy with the well-known 2-linkage tractor-trailer problem, we define a 2-linkage problem in the plane with novel non-holonomic ``no-slip'' conditions. Using constructs from sub-Riemannian geometry, we look for geodesics corresponding…
This paper is devoted to characterizing complex projective structures defined on Riemann surface orbifolds and giving rise to injective developing maps defined on the monodromy covering of the surface (orbifold) in question. The relevance…
In this paper, we introduce a geometric structure called top, which is a trivialized bundle of plane pencils over a Riemannian 3-manifold, defined as the set of kernels of a circle of 1-forms (e.g. of contact and integrable forms) with…
Starting from suitable tableaux over finite dimensional Lie algebras, we provide a scheme for producing involutive linear Pfaffian systems related to various classes of submanifolds in homogeneous spaces which constitute integrable systems.…
Shape matching represents a challenging problem in both information engineering and computer science, exhibiting not only a wide spectrum of multimedia applications, but also a deep relation with conformal geometry. After reviewing the…
We study the Riemann geometric approach to be aimed at unifying soliton systems. The general two-dimensional Einstein equation with constant scalar curvature becomes an integrable differential equation. We show that such Einstein equation…
It is shown that in dimension at least three a local diffeomorphism of Euclidean n-space into itself is injective provided that the pull-back of every plane is a Riemannian submanifold which is conformal to a plane. Using a similar…
We propose a nonlinear $\sigma$-model in a curved space as a general integrable elliptic model. We construct its exact solutions and obtain energy estimates near the critical point. We consider the Pohlmeyer transformation in Euclidean…
We present a uniform framework generalising and extending the classical theories of projective differential geometry, c-projective geometry, and almost quaternionic geometry. Such geometries, which we call \emph{projective parabolic…
A class of surfaces-graphs in a Riemannian 3-space with a prescribed projection of one field of principal directions onto a surface $\Pi$ is considered. A problem of determination of such surfaces when both principal curvatures are given…
We present a unified method of construction of surfaces associated with Grassmannian sigma models, expressed in terms of an orthogonal projector. This description leads to compact formulae for structural equations of two-dimensional…
This paper combines two classical theories, namely metric projective differential geometry and superintegrability. We study superintegrable systems on 2-dimensional geometries that share the same geodesics, viewed as unparametrized curves.…
