Various aspects of Whitham times

arXiv:math-ph/9905010

Abstract

We sketch some of the different roles played by Whitham times in connection with averaging, adiabatic invariants, soliton theory, Hamiltonian structures, Seiberg-Witten theory, isomonodromy problems, Hitchin systems, WDVV and Picard-Fuchs equations, renormalization, soft susy breaking, etc.

Latex, 79 pages. Section 10 has been reduced to a Remark and a short Section on TFT and WDVV has been added
