| Lattices in semisimple Lie groups have been studied from the point of view of number theory, algebraic groups, topology and geometry, and geometric group theory. The Fragestellung of one line of investigation is to what extent the properties of the lattice determine, and are determined by, the properties of the group. This talk reviews a number of results about lattices, and in particular looks at Mostow–Margulis rigidity. | |||

| The modern approach to integrability proceeds via a Riemann surface, the spectral curve. In many applications this curve is specified by transcendental constraints in terms of periods. I will highlight some of the problems this leads to in the context of monopoles, problems including integer solutions to systems of quadratic forms, questions of real algebraic geometry and conjectures for elliptic functions. Several new results will be presented including the uniqueness of the tetrahedrally symmetric monopole. | |||
