In this paper, we discuss an interaction between complex geometry and integrable systems. Section 1 reviews the classical results on integrable systems. New examples of integrable systems, which have been discovered, are based on the Lax…
We consider general integrable systems on graphs as discrete flat connections with the values in loop groups. We argue that a certain class of graphs is of a special importance in this respect, namely quad-graphs, the cellular…
The discrete Lax operators with the spectral parameter on an algebraic curve are defined. A hierarchy of commuting flows on the space of such operators is constructed. It is shown that these flows are linearized by the spectral transform…
The relation between integrable systems and algebraic geometry is known since the XIXth century. The modern approach is to represent an integrable system as a Lax equation with spectral parameter. In this approach, the integrals of the…
A fairly complete list of Toda-like integrable lattice systems, both in the continuous and discrete time, is given. For each system the Newtonian, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations are presented, as well as the 2x2 Lax representation…
In this series of lectures, we (re)view the "geometric method" that reconstructs, from a geometric object: the "spectral curve", an integrable system, and in particular its Tau function, Baker-Akhiezer functions and "current amplitudes",…
A classification of discrete integrable systems on quad-graphs, i.e. on surface cell decompositions with quadrilateral faces, is given. The notion of integrability laid in the basis of the classification is the three-dimensional…
The well known Liouville-Arnold theorem says that if a level surface of integrals of an integrable system is compact and connected, then it is a torus. However, in some important examples of integrable systems the topology of a level…
We introduce a class of ${\mathbb{Z}}_N$ graded discrete Lax pairs, with $N\times N$ matrices, linear in the spectral parameter. We give a classification scheme for such Lax pairs and the associated discrete integrable systems. We present…
We present a new realization of scalar integrable hierarchies in terms of the Toda lattice hierarchy. In other words, we show on a large number of examples that an integrable hierarchy, defined by a pseudodifferential Lax operator, can be…
We study several integrable Hamiltonian systems on the moduli spaces of meromorphic functions on Riemann surfaces (the Riemann sphere, a cylinder and a torus). The action-angle variables and the separated variables (in Sklyanin's sense) are…
This is the expanded text of a series of CIME lectures. We present an algebro-geometric approach to integrable systems, starting with those which can be described in terms of spectral curves. The prototype is Hitchin's system on the…
We explain how the spectral curve can be extracted from the ${\cal W}$-representation of a matrix model. It emerges from the part of the ${\cal W}$-operator, which is linear in time-variables. A possibility of extracting the spectral curve…
Using the procedure of the marked point fusion, there are obtained integrable systems with poles in the matrix of the Lax operator order higher than one, considered Hamiltonians, symplectic structure and symmetries of these systems. Also,…
A new ansatz is presented for a Lax pair describing systems of particles on the line interacting via (possibly nonsymmetric) pairwise forces. Particular cases of this yield the known Lax pairs for the Calogero-Moser and Toda systems, as…
One of the most fascinating and technically demanding parts of the theory of two-dimensional integrable systems constitute the models with the spectral parameter on an elliptic curve, including Landau-Lifshitz and Krichever-Novikov…
We study the integrability of the quantized six-vertex model with four parameters on a torus. It is a three-dimensional integrable lattice model in which a layer transfer matrix, depending on two spectral parameters associated with the…

Hexagonal circle patterns with constant intersection angles are introduced and studied. It is shown that they are described by discrete integrable systems of Toda type. Conformally symmetric patterns are classified. Circle pattern analogs…
The Toda chains take a particular place in the theory of integrable systems, in contrast with the linear group structure for the Gaudin model this system is related to the corresponding Borel group and mediately to the geometry of flag…
