Title: Integrability of the Bryant soliton equation

Abstract: Ricci solitons were introduced by Richard Hamilton in the 80's 
and they are a generalization of the better know Einstein metrics. 
During this talk we will explore some of the basic theory around Ricci 
solitons, focusing primarily on solitons with a high degree of symmetry. 
In particular we will discuss an important example known as the Bryant 
soliton and analyse the integrability properties of the equations 
associated to this soliton.

Venue: SISSA, Monday 5 May at 2:30 pm in lecture room 136
