Abstract:
In this talk, we will discuss curve flows in homogeneous spaces. The local differential invariant of these flows are solutions to certain KdV-type equations associated to affine Kac-Moody algebra. The periodic Cauchy problem of these curves can be solved and we will give an algorithm to compute the Bi-Hamiltonian structures of curve flows.
