The Dubrovin threefold of an algebraic curve

Abstract: The solutions to the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation that arise from a fixed complex algebraic curve are parametrized by a threefold in a weighted projective space, which we name after Boris Dubrovin. Current methods from nonlinear algebra are applied to study parametrizations and defining ideals of Dubrovin threefolds. We highlight the dichotomy between transcendental representations and exact algebraic computations.

This is joint work with Daniele Agostini and Bernd Sturmfels.

SFU NT-AG seminar

Series comments: The Number Theory and Algebraic Geometry (NT-AG) seminar is a research seminar dedicated to topics related to number theory and algebraic geometry hosted by the NT-AG group (Nils Bruin, Imin Chen, Stephen Choi, Katrina Honigs, Nathan Ilten, Marni Mishna).

We acknowledge the support of PIMS, NSERC, and SFU.

For Fall 2025, the organizers are Katrina Honigs and Peter McDonald.

We normally meet in-person in the indicated room. For online editions, we use Zoom and distribute the link through the mailing list. If you wish to be put on the mailing list, please subscribe to ntag-external using lists.sfu.ca
