Factorization dynamics and Coxeter-Toda lattices

This paper is mainly a review of the multi--Hamiltonian nature of Toda and generalized Toda lattices corresponding to the classical simple Lie groups but it includes also some new results. The areas investigated include master symmetries, recursion operators, higher Poisson brackets, invariants and group symmetries for the systems. In addition to the positive hierarchy we also consider the negative hierarchy which is crucial in establishing the bi--Hamiltonian structure for e...

In this paper we continue our study of the geometric properties of full symmetric Toda systems from \cite{CSS14,CSS17,CSS19}. Namely we describe here a simple geometric construction of a commutative family of vector fields on compact groups, that include the Toda vector field, i.e. the field, which generates the full symmetric Toda system associated with the Cartan decomposition of a semisimple Lie algebra. Our construction makes use of the representations of the semisimple a...

In this paper, we continue to develop a general scheme to study a broad class of integrable systems naturally associated with the coboundary dynamical Lie algebroids. In particular, we present a factorization method for solving the Hamiltonian flows. We also present two important class of new examples, a family of hyperbolic spin Calogero-Moser systems and the spin Toda lattices. To illustrate our factorization theory, we show how to solve these Hamiltonian systems explicitly...

We give a short and elementary introduction to Lie group methods. A selection of applications of Lie group integrators are discussed. Finally, a family of symplectic integrators on cotangent bundles of Lie groups is presented and the notion of discrete gradient methods is generalised to Lie groups.

Applying recent ideas of Carlet, Dubrovin and Zhang (to appear), who, following a suggestion of Eguchi and Yang (hep-th/9407134), study the logarithm of the Lax operator of the Toda lattice, we show that the equivariant Toda lattice introduced in math.AG/0207025 is a Hamiltonian integrable system.

In this paper we establish the existence of canonical coordinates for generic co-adjoint orbits on triangular groups. These orbits correspond to a set of full Plancherel measure on the associated dual groups. This generalizes a well-known coordinatization of co-adjoint orbits of a minimal (non-generic) type originally discovered by Flaschka. The latter had strong connections to the classical Toda lattice and its associated Poisson geometry. Our results develop connections wit...

Let G be a finite dimensional simple complex group equipped with the standard Poisson Lie group structure. We show that all G-homogeneous (holomorphic) Poisson structures on $G/H$, where $H \subset G$ is a Cartan subgroup, come from solutions to the Classical Dynamical Yang-Baxter equations which are classified by Etingof and Varchenko. A similar result holds for the maximal compact subgroup K, and we get a family of K-homogeneous Poisson structures on $K/T$, where $T = K \ca...

In this paper, we present a general scheme to construct integrable systems based on realization in the coboundary dynamical Poisson groupoids of Etingof and Varchenko. We also present a factorization method for solving the Hamiltonian flows. To illustrate our scheme and factorization theory, we consider a family of hyperbolic spin Ruijsenaars-Schneider models related to affine Toda field theories and solve the equations of motion in a simple case.

We define the periodic Full Kostant-Toda on every simple Lie algebra, and show its Liouville integrability. More precisely we show that this lattice is given by a Hamiltonian vector field, associated to a Poisson bracket which results from an R-matrix. We construct a large family of constant of motion which we use to prove the Liouville integrability of the system with the help of several results on simple Lie algebras, R-matrix, invariant functions and root systems.

Results on the finite nonperiodic Toda lattice are extended to some generalizations of the system: The relativistic Toda lattice, the generalized Toda lattice associated with simple Lie groups and the full Kostant-Toda lattice. The areas investigated, include master symmetries, recursion operators, higher Poisson brackets, invariants, and group symmetries for the systems. A survey of previous work on the classical Toda lattice is also included.
