Topological classification of the Goryachev integrable case in rigid body dynamics

A topological analysis of the Goryachev integrable case in rigid body dynamics is made on the basis of the Fomenko-Zieschang theory. The invariants (marked molecules) which are obtained give a complete description, from the standpoint of Liouville classification, of the systems of Goryachev type on various level sets of the energy. It turns out that on appropriate energy levels the Goryachev case is Liouville equivalent to many classical integrable systems and, in particular, the Joukowski, Clebsch, Sokolov and Kovalevskaya-Yehia cases in rigid body dynamics, as well as to some integrable billiards in plane domains bounded by confocal quadrics — in other words, the foliations given by the closures of generic solutions of these systems have the same structure.

Quantum manifestations of classical nonlinear resonances.

When an integrable classical system is perturbed, nonlinear resonances are born, grow, and eventually disappear due to chaos. In this paper the quantum manifestations of such a transition are studied in the standard map. We show that nonlinear resonances act as a perturbation that break eigenphase degeneracies for unperturbed states with quantum numbers that differ in a multiple of the order of the resonance. We show that the eigenphase splittings are well described by a semiclassical expression based on an integrable approximation of the Hamiltonian in the vicinity of the resonance. The morphology in phase space of these states is also studied. We show that the nonlinear resonance imprints a systematic influence in their localization properties.

Trigonometric version of quantum–classical duality in integrable systems

We extend the quantum–classical duality to the trigonometric (hyperbolic) case. The duality establishes an explicit relationship between the classical N-body trigonometric Ruijsenaars–Schneider model and the inhomogeneous twisted XXZ spin chain on N sites. Similarly to the rational version, the spin chain data fixes a certain Lagrangian submanifold in the phase space of the classical integrable system. The inhomogeneity parameters are equal to the coordinates of particles while the velocities of classical particles are proportional to the eigenvalues of the spin chain Hamiltonians (residues of the properly normalized transfer matrix). In the rational version of the duality, the action variables of the Ruijsenaars–Schneider model are equal to the twist parameters with some multiplicities defined by quantum (occupation) numbers. In contrast to the rational version, in the trigonometric case there is a splitting of the spectrum of action variables (eigenvalues of the classical Lax matrix). The limit corresponding to the classical Calogero–Sutherland system and quantum trigonometric Gaudin model is also described as well as the XX limit to free fermions.

Construction of classical and quantum integrable field models unravelling hidden possibilities

Reviewing briefly the concept of classical and quantum integrable systems, we propose an alternative Lax operator approach, leading to quasi-higher-dimensional integrable model, unravelling some hidden dimensions in integrable systems. As an example, we construct a novel integrable quasi-two-dimensional NLS equation at the classical and the quantum levels with intriguing application in rogue wave modelling.

Noncommutative Inverse Scattering Method for the Kontsevich System

We formulate an analog of Inverse Scattering Method for integrable systems on noncommutative associative algebras. In particular we define Hamilton flows, Casimir elements and noncommutative analog of the Lax matrix. The noncommutative Lax element generates infinite family of commuting Hamilton flows on an associative algebra. The proposed approach to integrable systems on associative algebras satisfy certain universal property, in particular it incorporates both classical and quantum integrable systems as well as provides a basis for further generalization. We motivate our definition by explicit construction of noncommutative analog of Lax matrix for a system of differential equations on associative algebra recently proposed by Kontsevich. First we present these equations in the Hamilton form by defining a bracket of Loday type on the group algebra of the free group with two generators. To make the definition more constructive we utilize (with certain generalizations) the Van den Bergh approach to Loday brackets via double Poisson brackets. We show that there exists an infinite family of commuting flows generated by the noncommutative Lax element.

Supersymmetric quantum spin chains and classical integrable systems

For integrable inhomogeneous supersymmetric spin chains (generalized graded magnets) constructed employing Y(gl(N|M))-invariant R-matrices in finite-dimensional representations we introduce the master T-operator which is a sort of generating function for the family of commuting quantum transfer matrices. Any eigenvalue of the master T-operator is the tau-function of the classical mKP hierarchy. It is a polynomial in the spectral parameter which is identified with the 0-th time of the hierarchy. This implies a remarkable relation between the quantum supersymmetric spin chains and classical many-body integrable systems of particles of the Ruijsenaars-Schneider type. As an outcome, we obtain a system of algebraic equations for the spectrum of the spin chain Hamiltonians.

Classical integrable systems and Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov-Bernard equations

The results obtained in the works supported in part by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (project 12-02-00594) are briefly reviewed. We mainly focus on interrelations between classical integrable systems, Painleve-Schlesinger equations and related algebraic structures such as classical and quantum R-matrices. The constructions are explained in terms of simplest examples.

Defects and quantum Seiberg-Witten geometry

We study the Nekrasov partition function of the five dimensional U(N) gauge theory with maximal supersymmetry on R^4 x S^1 in the presence of codimension two defects. The codimension two defects can be described either as monodromy defects, or by coupling to a certain class of three dimensional quiver gauge theories on R^2 x S^1. We explain how these computations are connected with both classical and quantum integrable systems. We check, as an expansion in the instanton number, that the aforementioned partition functions are eigenfunctions of an elliptic integrable many-body system, which quantizes the Seiberg-Witten geometry of the five-dimensional gauge theory.

Generalized symmetries of an \U0001d4dd = 1 supersymmetric Boiti–Leon–Manna–Pempinelli system**Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant Nos. 11275123, 11175092, 11475052, and 11435005), the Shanghai Knowledge Service Platform for Trustworthy Internet of Things, China (Grant No. ZF1213), and the Talent Fund and K CWong Magna Fund in Ningbo University, China.

The formal series symmetry approach (FSSA), a quite powerful and straightforward method to establish infinitely many generalized symmetries of classical integrable systems, has been successfully extended in the supersymmetric framework to explore series of infinitely many generalized symmetries for supersymmetric systems. Taking the \U0001d4a9 = 1 supersymmetric Boiti–Leon–Manna–Pempinelli system as a concrete example, it is shown that the application of the extended FSSA to this supersymmetric system leads to a set of infinitely many generalized symmetries with an arbitrary function f (t). Some interesting special cases of symmetry algebras are presented, including a limit case f (t) = 1 related to the commutativity of higher order generalized symmetries.

Fate of a gray soliton in a quenched Bose-Einstein condensate

We investigate the destiny of a gray soliton in a repulsive one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate undergoing a sudden quench of the nonlinearity parameter. The outcome of the quench is found to depend dramatically on the ratio $\ensuremath{\eta}$ of the final and initial values of the speed of sound. For integer $\ensuremath{\eta}$ the soliton splits into exactly $2\ensuremath{\eta}\ensuremath{-}1$ solitons. For noninteger $\ensuremath{\eta}$ the soliton decays into multiple solitons and Bogoliubov modes. The case of integer $\ensuremath{\eta}$ is analyzed in detail. The parameters of solitons in the out state are found explicitly. Our approach exploits the inverse scattering method and can be easily used for similar quenches in any classical integrable system.

Generalized spin Sutherland systems revisited

We present generalizations of the spin Sutherland systems obtained earlier by Blom and Langmann and by Polychronakos in two different ways: from SU(n) Yang–Mills theory on the cylinder and by constraining geodesic motion on the N-fold direct product of SU(n) with itself, for any N>1. Our systems are in correspondence with the Dynkin diagram automorphisms of arbitrary connected and simply connected compact simple Lie groups. We give a finite-dimensional as well as an infinite-dimensional derivation and shed light on the mechanism whereby they lead to the same classical integrable systems. The infinite-dimensional approach, based on twisted current algebras (alias Yang–Mills with twisted boundary conditions), was inspired by the derivation of the spinless Sutherland model due to Gorsky and Nekrasov. The finite-dimensional method relies on Hamiltonian reduction under twisted conjugations of N-fold direct product groups, linking the quantum mechanics of the reduced systems to representation theory similarly as was explored previously in the N=1 case.

Chaos in bohmian mechanics of commensurate harmonic oscillators

Bohmian mechanics is a causal interpretation of quantum mechanics in which there are well-defined particle trajectories guided by the wave function. Within this framework, it is shown that certain classical integrable systems can exhibit both periodic and chaotic behaviours. In this paper, we extend the work of Borondo et al. by investigating the behaviours of commensurate two-dimensional harmonic oscillator systems with different ratios of frequencies. We show that the system may produce chaotic behavior of Bohmian trajectories to be dependenton frequencies ratio. This result is illustrated numerically in computer experiments displaying the Bohmian trajectories.

Note on the 3-Graded Modified Classical Yang-Baxter Equations and Integrable Systems

The 6=3×2 huge Lie algebra Ξ of all local and non-local differential operators on a circle is applied to the standard Adler-Kostant-Symes (AKS) R-bracket scheme. It is shown in particular that there exist three additional Lie structures, associated to three graded modified classical Yang-Baxter (GMCYB) equations. As we know from the standard case, these structures can be used to classify in a more consistent way a wide class of integrable systems. Other algebraic properties are also presented.

Winding vacuum energies in a deformed [formula omitted] sigma model

We consider the problem of calculating the Casimir energies in the winding sectors of Fateev's SS-model, which is an integrable two-parameter deformation of the O(4) non-linear sigma model in two dimensions. This problem lies beyond the scope of all traditional methods of integrable quantum field theory including the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz and non-linear integral equations. Here we propose a solution based on a remarkable correspondence between classical and quantum integrable systems and express the winding energies in terms of certain solutions of the classical sinh-Gordon equation.

The Chaplygin case in dynamics of a rigid body in fluid is orbitally equivalent to the Euler case in rigid body dynamics and to the Jacobi problem about geodesics on the ellipsoid

The main goal of this paper is to demonstrate how the theory of invariants for integrable Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom created by A.T. Fomenko, H. Zieschang, and A.V. Bolsinov helps to establish Liouville and orbital equivalence of some classical integrable systems. Three such systems are treated in the article: the Euler case in rigid body dynamics, the Jacobi problem about geodesics on the ellipsoid and the Chaplygin case in dynamics of a rigid body in fluid. The first two systems were known to be Liouville and even topologically orbitally equivalent (Fomenko, Bolsinov). Now we show that the Chaplygin system is orbitally equivalent to the Euler and Jacobi systems.

Classical integrable systems and soliton equations related to eleven-vertex R-matrix

In our recent paper we suggested a natural construction of the classical relativistic integrable tops in terms of the quantum R-matrices. Here we study the simplest case – the 11-vertex R-matrix and related gl2 rational models. The corresponding top is equivalent to the 2-body Ruijsenaars–Schneider (RS) or the 2-body Calogero–Moser (CM) model depending on its description. We give different descriptions of the integrable tops and use them as building blocks for construction of more complicated integrable systems such as Gaudin models and classical spin chains (periodic and with boundaries). The known relation between the top and CM (or RS) models allows to rewrite the Gaudin models (or the spin chains) in the canonical variables. Then they assume the form of n-particle integrable systems with 2n constants. We also describe the generalization of the top to 1+1 field theories. It allows us to get the Landau–Lifshitz type equation. The latter can be treated as non-trivial deformation of the classical continuous Heisenberg model. In a similar way the deformation of the principal chiral model is described.

Integrable structure of Quantum Field Theory: classical flat connections versus quantum stationary states

We establish a correspondence between an infinite set of special solutions of the (classical) modified sinh-Gordon equation and a set of stationary states in the finite-volume Hilbert space of the integrable 2D QFT invented by V.A. Fateev. The modified sinh-Gordon equation arise in this case as a zero-curvature condition for a class of multivalued connections of the punctured Riemann sphere, similarly to Hitchin's self-duality equations. The proposed correspondence between the classical and quantum integrable systems provides a powerful tool for deriving functional and integral equations which determine the full spectrum of local integrals of motion for massive QFT in a finite volume. Potential applications of our results to the problem of non-perturbative quantization of classically integrable non-linear sigma models are briefly discussed.

Interplay of symmetry and topology in science

Qualitative methods in natural science are based mainly on simultaneous use of symmetry and topology arguments. The idea of the present talk is to demonstrate how the corresponding mathematical tools (based on symmetry and topology arguments) initially applied to describe classification of different phases of matter and transitions between them are extended to construct qualitative theory of finite particle systems and more general dynamical systems. I start with reminding basic notions and tools associated with application of group action ideas to physics as initiated and developed by Louis Michel (1923-1999) [1,2]. Then geometric combinatorial and topological ideas are used to give qualitative description of singularities of dynamical integrable classical system and their quantum analogs. Quantum monodromy and its various generalizations as well as description of energy bands of isolated finite particle quantum systems in terms of topological invariant, Chern number [3], will be discussed on concrete molecular and atomic examples.

Relativistic classical integrable tops and quantum R-matrices

We describe classical top-like integrable systems arising from the quantum exchange relations and corresponding Sklyanin algebras. The Lax operator is expressed in terms of the quantum non-dynamical $R$-matrix even at the classical level, where the Planck constant plays the role of the relativistic deformation parameter in the sense of Ruijsenaars and Schneider (RS). The integrable systems (relativistic tops) are described as multidimensional Euler tops, and the inertia tensors are written in terms of the quantum and classical $R$-matrices. A particular case of ${\rm gl}_N$ system is gauge equivalent to the $N$-particle RS model while a generic top is related to the spin generalization of the RS model. The simple relation between quantum $R$-matrices and classical Lax operators is exploited in two ways. In the elliptic case we use the Belavin's quantum $R$-matrix to describe the relativistic classical tops. Also by the passage to the noncommutative torus we study the large $N$ limit corresponding to the relativistic version of the nonlocal 2d elliptic hydrodynamics. Conversely, in the rational case we obtain a new ${\rm gl}_N$ quantum rational non-dynamical $R$-matrix via the relativistic top, which we get in a different way -- using the factorized form of the RS Lax operator and the classical Symplectic Hecke (gauge) transformation. In particular case of ${\rm gl}_2$ the quantum rational $R$-matrix is 11-vertex. It was previously found by Cherednik. At last, we describe the integrable spin chains and Gaudin models related to the obtained $R$-matrix.

Spectrum of quantum transfer matrices via classical many-body systems

In this paper we clarify the relationship between inhomogeneous quantum spin chains and classical integrable many-body systems. It provides an alternative (to the nested Bethe ansatz) method for computation of spectra of the spin chains. Namely, the spectrum of the quantum transfer matrix for the inhomogeneous ${\mathfrak g}{\mathfrak l}_n$-invariant XXX spin chain on $N$ sites with twisted boundary conditions can be found in terms of velocities of particles in the rational $N$-body Ruijsenaars-Schneider model. The possible values of the velocities are to be found from intersection points of two Lagrangian submanifolds in the phase space of the classical model. One of them is the Lagrangian hyperplane corresponding to fixed coordinates of all $N$ particles and the other one is an $N$-dimensional Lagrangian submanifold obtained by fixing levels of $N$ classical Hamiltonians in involution. The latter are determined by eigenvalues of the twist matrix. To support this picture, we give a direct proof that the eigenvalues of the Lax matrix for the classical Ruijsenaars-Schneider model, where velocities of particles are substituted by eigenvalues of the spin chain Hamiltonians, calculated through the Bethe equations, coincide with eigenvalues of the twist matrix, with certain multiplicities. We also prove a similar statement for the ${\mathfrak g}{\mathfrak l}_n$ Gaudin model with $N$ marked points (on the quantum side) and the Calogero-Moser system with $N$ particles (on the classical side). The realization of the results obtained in terms of branes and supersymmetric gauge theories is also discussed.
