DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/nmps/13/">To
 pological Strings on the Beach</a>\nby David Skinner (Cambridge) as part o
 f Nagoya Math-Phys Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nThe KP equation is a well-known 
 classical integrable system that describes shallow water waves in 2+1 dime
 nsions. While many integrable systems are known to arise from twistor spac
 e\, the KP equation has long resisted this classification. Recently\, foll
 owing ideas of Costello\, the KP equation has been shown to arise from a m
 ixed topological-holomorphic Chern-Simons theory in 5d. This theory comes 
 complete with a chiral W-algebra and suggests that solitonic waves corresp
 ond to holomorphic line bundles on non-commutative mini-twistor space.\n
