Algebraic curves as a source of separable multi-Hamiltonian systems

In this paper we systematically consider various ways of generating integrable and separable Hamiltonian systems in canonical and in non-canonical representations from algebraic curves on the plane. In particular, we consider St\"ackel transform between two pairs of St\"ackel systems, generated by 2n-parameter algebraic curves on the plane, as well as Miura maps between St\"ackel systems generated by (n+N)-parameter algebraic curves, leading to multi-Hamiltonian representation of these systems.

Integrable Multi-Hamiltonian Systems from Reduction of an Extended Quasi-Poisson Double of {text {U}}(n)

We construct a master dynamical system on a {text {U}}(n) quasi-Poisson manifold, {mathcal {M}}_d, built from the double {text {U}}(n) times {text {U}}(n) and dge 2 open balls in mathbb {C}^n, whose quasi-Poisson structures are obtained from T^* mathbb {R}^n by exponentiation. A pencil of quasi-Poisson bivectors P_{underline{z}} is defined on {mathcal {M}}_d that depends on d(d-1)/2 arbitrary real parameters and gives rise to pairwise compatible Poisson brackets on the {text {U}}(n)-invariant functions. The master system on {mathcal {M}}_d is a quasi-Poisson analogue of the degenerate integrable system of free motion on the extended cotangent bundle T^*!{text {U}}(n) times mathbb {C}^{ntimes d}. Its commuting Hamiltonians are pullbacks of the class functions on one of the {text {U}}(n) factors. We prove that the master system descends to a degenerate integrable system on a dense open subset of the smooth component of the quotient space {mathcal {M}}_d/{text {U}}(n) associated with the principal orbit type. Any reduced Hamiltonian arising from a class function generates the same flow via any of the compatible Poisson structures stemming from the bivectors P_{underline{z}}. The restrictions of the reduced system on minimal symplectic leaves parameterized by generic elements of the center of {text {U}}(n) provide a new real form of the complex, trigonometric spin Ruijsenaars–Schneider model of Krichever and Zabrodin. This generalizes the derivation of the compactified trigonometric RS model found previously in the d=1 case.

The Globalization Problem of the Hamilton–DeDonder–Weyl Equations on a Local k-Symplectic Framework

In this paper, we aim at addressing the globalization problem of Hamilton–DeDonder–Weyl equations on a local k-symplectic framework and we introduce the notion of locally conformal k-symplectic (l.c.k-s.) manifolds. This formalism describes the dynamical properties of physical systems that locally behave like multi-Hamiltonian systems. Here, we describe the local Hamiltonian properties of such systems, but we also provide a global outlook by introducing the global Lee one-form approach. In particular, the dynamics will be depicted with the aid of the Hamilton–Jacobi equation, which is specifically proposed in a l.c.k-s manifold.

Multi-Hamiltonian Structures on Spaces of Closed Equicentroaffine Plane Curves Associated to Higher KdV Flows

Higher KdV flows on spaces of closed equicentroaffine plane curves are studied and it is shown that the flows are described as certain multi-Hamiltonian systems on the spaces. Multi-Hamiltonian systems describing higher mKdV flows are also given on spaces of closed Euclidean plane curves via the geometric Miura transformation.

INTEGRABILITY AND ACTION FUNCTION IN MULTI-HAMILTONIAN SYSTEMS

Multi-Hamiltonian systems are investigated by using the Hamilton–Jacobi method. Integration of a set of total differential equations which includes the equations of motion and the action integral function is discussed. It is shown that this set is integrable if and only if the total variations of the Hamiltonians vanish. Two examples are studied.

Separation of Variables in Multi-Hamiltonian Systems: An Application to the Lagrange Top

Starting from the tri-Hamiltonian formulation of the Lagrange top in a six-dimensional phase space, we discuss the reduction of the vector field and of the Poisson tensors. We show explicitly that after the reduction to each symplectic leaf, the vector field of the Lagrange top is separable in the Hamilton–Jacobi sense.

A family of completely integrable multi-Hamiltonian systems explicitly related to some celebrated equations

By introducing a spectral problem with an arbitrary parameter, we derive a Kaup–Newell-type hierarchy of nonlinear evolution equations, which is explicitly related to many important equations such as the Kundu equation, the Kaup–Newell (KN) equation, the Chen–Lee–Liu (CLL) equation, the Gerdjikov–Ivanov (GI) equation, the Burgers equation, the modified Korteweg-deVries (MKdV) equation and the Sharma–Tasso–Olver equation. It is shown that the hierarchy is integrable in Liouville’s sense and possesses multi-Hamiltonian structure. Under the Bargann constraint between the potentials and the eigenfunctions, the spectral problem is nonlinearized as a finite-dimensional completely integrable Hamiltonian system. The involutive representation of the solutions for the Kaup–Newell-type hierarchy is also presented. In addition, an N-fold Darboux transformation of the Kundu equation is constructed with the help of its Lax pairs and a reduction technique. According to the Darboux transformation, the solutions of the Kundu equation is reduced to solving a linear algebraic system and two first-order ordinary differential equations. It is found that the KN, CLL, and GI equations can be described by a Kundu-type derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation involving a parameter. And then, we can construct the Hamiltonian formulations, Lax pairs and N-fold Darboux transformations for the Kundu, KN, CLL, and GI equations in explicit and unified ways.

On quantum multi-Hamiltonian systems

On studying various examples with one degree of freedom, we discuss the possibility of extending the classical concept of multi-Hamiltonian systems to the quantum domain. We show that an adaptation is possible in each case generally leading to distinguish classes of systems characterized globally by their observable algebras.

Hamiltonian systems of hydrodynamic type and their realization on hypersurfaces of a pseudo-Euclidean space

A canonical correspondence between Hamiltonian systems of differential equations of hydrodynamic type and hypersurfaces of a pseudo-Euclidean space is constructed. In this correspondence multi-Hamiltonian systems correspond to hypersurfaces admitting nontrivial deformations that preserve the principal directions and principal curvatures. A description of the surfaces inE3 that admit a three-parameter family of such deformations is given.

A family of completely integrable multi-hamiltonian systems

We consider an N-component hierarchy of nonlinear evolution equations, previously known to be bi-hamiltonian and completely integrable. We show that there exist not just two, but ( N + 1) compatible hamiltonian structures for this hierarchy. For the case N = 2 we relate our equations to a tri-hamiltonian hierarchy introduced by Kupershmidt.
