Synopsis

Recent interactions between the fields of geometry, classical and quantum dynamical systems, and visualization of geometric objects such as curves and surfaces have led to the observation that most concepts of surface theory and of the theory of integrable systems have natural discrete analogues. These are characterized by the property that the corresponding difference equations are integrable, and has led in turn to some important applications in areas of condensed matter physics and quantum field theory, amongst others. This book combines the efforts of a distinguished team of authors from various fields in mathematics and physics in an attempt to provide an overview of the subject. The mathematical concepts of discrete geometry and discrete integrable systems are first presented as fundamental and valuable theories in themselves. In later chapters these Concepts are put into the context of classical and quantum dynamics.
