On interpretations and constructions of classical dynamical r-matrices

In this note we complement recent results on the exchange $r$-matrices appearing in the chiral WZNW model by providing a direct, purely finite-dimensional description of the relationship between the monodromy dependent 2-form that enters the chiral WZNW symplectic form and the exchange $r$-matrix that governs the corresponding Poisson brackets. We also develop the special case in which the exchange $r$-matrix becomes the `canonical' solution of the classical dynamical Yang-Baxter equation on an arbitrary self-dual Lie algebra.

Adler-Kostant-Symes systems as Lagrangian gauge theories

It is well known that the integrable Hamiltonian systems defined by the Adler-Kostant-Symes construction correspond via Hamiltonian reduction to systems on cotangent bundles of Lie groups. Generalizing previous results on Toda systems, here a Lagrangian version of the reduction procedure is exhibited for those cases for which the underlying Lie algebra admits an invariant scalar product. This is achieved by constructing a Lagrangian with gauge symmetry in such a way that, by means of the Dirac algorithm, this Lagrangian reproduces the Adler-Kostant-Symes system whose Hamiltonian is the quadratic form associated with the scalar product on the Lie algebra.
