Collective superintegrable systems from the Guillemin--Sternberg torus action

We present a novel approach to the superintegrability of collective Hamiltonians invariant under a Hamiltonian action of a connected semisimple compact Lie group, $G$, on a symplectic manifold, $M$. By exploiting a Hamiltonian torus action that goes back to Guillemin and Sternberg [GS,1983], we demonstrate that the functional dimensions of $\mathfrak{H} := \mathcal{J}^*(C^\infty(\mathfrak{g}^*)^G)$, where $\mathcal{J}: M \to \mathfrak{g}^*$ is the momentum map of the $G$ action, and its centralizer $\mathfrak{F}$ in $C^\infty(M)$ satisfy the equality $\mathrm{ddim}(\mathfrak{H}) + \mathrm{ddim}(\mathfrak{F}) = \mathrm{dim}(M)$. Together with a non-triviality condition, this ensures that the Abelian Poisson algebra $\mathfrak{H}\subset C^\infty(M)$ represents a superintegrable system, and it also follows that the momentum map of the GS torus action yields action variables for the system. Our work provides a new insight into collective superintegrability complementing earlier results of Bolsinov and Jovanovi\'{c}.

Spherical singularities in compactified Ruijsenaars--Schneider systems

We investigate certain Liouville integrable systems constructed earlier via reduction of the quasi-Hamiltonian double of $\mathrm{SU}(n)$. These systems live on compact connected symplectic manifolds of dimension $2(n-1)$ and can be interpreted as compactified trigonometric Ruijsenaars--Schneider systems. Depending on the value of a parameter $0<y< \pi$, they arise in two drastically different forms: in type (i) these are toric systems, while in the type (ii) cases they possess globally continuous action variables that generate a Hamiltonian torus action (only) on a dense open subset of the phase space. The principal goal of the paper is to study those fibers of the action map (alias the $\mathbb{T}^{n-1}$ momentum map) which are contained in the complement of the domain of the densely defined torus action occurring in the type (ii) cases. We demonstrate that all such `singular fibers' are smooth connected isotropic submanifolds. We also work out a model of the fibers as quotient spaces of certain subgroups of $\mathrm{SU}(n)$ with respect to an action of another subgroup. The general results are exemplified by determining the vertices of the polytope filled by the action variables in the simplest type (ii) cases that appear for any $n\geq 4$ with $\pi/(n-1) <y < \pi/(n-2)$, and proving that the fibers over the `singular vertices' are diffeomorphic to $S^3 \simeq \mathrm{SU}(2)$ in these cases. In this way, our findings enrich the set of examples of Liouville integrable systems with spherical singularities.

Integrable systems from Poisson reductions of generalized Hamiltonian torus actions

We develop a set of sufficient conditions for guaranteeing that an integrable system with a symmetry group $K$ on a manifold $M$ descends to an integrable system on a dense open subset of the quotient Poisson space $M/K$. The higher dimensional phase space $M$ carries a bivector $P_M$ yielding a bracket on $C^\infty(M)$ such that $C^\infty(M)^K$ is a Poisson algebra. The unreduced system on $M$ is supposed to possess `action variables' that generate a proper, effective action of a group of the form $\mathrm{U}(1)^{\ell_1} \times \mathbb{R}^{\ell_2}$ and descend to action variables of the reduced system. In view of the form of the group and since $P_M$ could be a quasi-Poisson bivector, we say that we work with a generalized Hamiltonian torus action. The reduced systems are in general superintegrable owing to the large set of invariants of the proper Hamiltonian action of $\mathrm{U}(1)^{\ell_1} \times \mathbb{R}^{\ell_2}$. We present several examples and apply our construction for solving open problems regarding the integrability of systems obtained previously by reductions of master systems on doubles of compact Lie groups: the cotangent bundle, the Heisenberg double and the quasi-Poisson double. Furthermore, we offer numerous applications to integrable systems living on moduli spaces of flat connections, using the quasi-Poisson approach.

On the maximal superintegrability of strongly isochronous Hamiltonians

We study strongly isochronous Hamiltonians that generate periodic time evolution with the same basic period for a dense set of initial values. We explain that all such Hamiltonians are maximally superintegrable, and show that if the system is subjected to Hamiltonian reduction based on a compact symmetry group and certain conditions are met, then the reduced Hamiltonian is strongly isochronous with the original basic period. We utilize these simple observations for demonstrating the maximal superintegrability of rational spin Calogero--Moser type models in confining harmonic potential.

Poisson-Lie analogues of spin Sutherland models revisited

Some generalizations of spin Sutherland models descend from `master integrable systems' living on Heisenberg doubles of compact semisimple Lie groups. The master systems represent Poisson--Lie counterparts of the systems of free motion modeled on the respective cotangent bundles and their reduction relies on taking quotient with respect to a suitable conjugation action of the compact Lie group. We present an enhanced exposition of the reductions and prove rigorously for the first time that the reduced systems possess the property of degenerate integrability on the dense open subset of the Poisson quotient space corresponding to the principal orbit type for the pertinent group action. After restriction to a smaller dense open subset, degenerate integrability on the generic symplectic leaves is demonstrated as well. The paper also contains a novel description of the reduced Poisson structure and a careful elaboration of the scaling limit whereby our reduced systems turn into the spin Sutherland models.

Notes on the degenerate integrability of reduced systems obtained from the master systems of free motion on cotangent bundles of compact Lie groups

The reduction of the `master system' of free motion on the cotangent bundle $T^*G$ of a compact, connected and simply connected, semisimple Lie group is considered using the conjugation action of $G$. It is proved that the restriction of the reduced system to the smooth component of the quotient space $T^*G/G$, given by the principal orbit type, inherits the degenerate integrability of the master system. The proof can be generalized easily to other interesting examples of Hamiltonian reduction.

Integrable multi-Hamiltonian systems from reduction of an extended quasi-Poisson double of $\operatorname{U}(n)$

We construct a master dynamical system on a $\operatorname{U}(n)$ quasi-Poisson manifold, $\mathcal{M}_d$, built from the double $\operatorname{U}(n) \times \operatorname{U}(n)$ and $d\geq 2$ 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 $\operatorname{U}(n)$-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 $T^*\!\operatorname{U}(n) \times \mathbb{C}^{n\times d}$. Its commuting Hamiltonians are pullbacks of the class functions on one of the $\operatorname{U}(n)$ 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 $\mathcal{M}_d/\operatorname{U}(n)$ 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 $\operatorname{U}(n)$ 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.

Poisson reductions of master integrable systems on doubles of compact Lie groups

We consider three 'classical doubles' of any semisimple, connected and simply connected compact Lie group $G$: the cotangent bundle, the Heisenberg double and the internally fused quasi-Poisson double. On each double we identify a pair of 'master integrable systems' and investigate their Poisson reductions. In the simplest cotangent bundle case, the reduction is defined by taking quotient by the cotangent lift of the conjugation action of $G$ on itself, and this naturally generalizes to the other two doubles. In each case, we derive explicit formulas for the reduced Poisson structure and equations of motion and find that they are associated with well known classical dynamical $r$-matrices. Our principal result is that we provide a unified treatment of a large family of reduced systems, which contains new models as well as examples of spin Sutherland and Ruijsenaars--Schneider models that were studied previously. We argue that on generic symplectic leaves of the Poisson quotients the reduced systems are integrable in the degenerate sense, although further work is required to prove this rigorously.

A decoupling property of some Poisson structures on ${\rm Mat}_{n\times d}(\mathbb{C}) \times {\rm Mat}_{d\times n}(\mathbb{C})$ supporting ${\rm GL}(n,\mathbb{C}) \times {\rm GL}(d,\mathbb{C})$ Poisson-Lie symmetry

We study a holomorphic Poisson structure defined on the linear space $S(n,d):= {\rm Mat}_{n\times d}(\mathbb{C}) \times {\rm Mat}_{d\times n}(\mathbb{C})$ that is covariant under the natural left actions of the standard ${\rm GL}(n,\mathbb{C})$ and ${\rm GL}(d,\mathbb{C})$ Poisson-Lie groups. The Poisson brackets of the matrix elements contain quadratic and constant terms, and the Poisson tensor is non-degenerate on a dense subset. Taking the $d=1$ special case gives a Poisson structure on $S(n,1)$, and we construct a local Poisson map from the Cartesian product of $d$ independent copies of $S(n,1)$ into $S(n,d)$, which is a holomorphic diffeomorphism in a neighborhood of zero. The Poisson structure on $S(n,d)$ is the complexification of a real Poisson structure on ${\rm Mat}_{n\times d}(\mathbb{C})$ constructed by the authors and Marshall, where a similar decoupling into $d$ independent copies was observed. We also relate our construction to a Poisson structure on $S(n,d)$ defined by Arutyunov and Olivucci in the treatment of the complex trigonometric spin Ruijsenaars-Schneider system by Hamiltonian reduction.

Bi-Hamiltonian structure of Sutherland models coupled to two ${\mathfrak u}(n)^*$-valued spins from Poisson reduction

We introduce a bi-Hamiltonian hierarchy on the cotangent bundle of the real Lie group ${\mathrm{GL}}(n,{\mathbb{C}})$, and study its Poisson reduction with respect to the action of the product group ${{\mathrm U}(n)} \times {{\mathrm U}(n)}$ arising from left- and right-multiplications. One of the pertinent Poisson structures is the canonical one, while the other is suitably transferred from the real Heisenberg double of ${\mathrm{GL}}(n,{\mathbb{C}})$. When taking the quotient of $T^*{\mathrm{GL}}(n,{\mathbb{C}})$ we focus on the dense open subset of ${\mathrm{GL}}(n,{\mathbb{C}})$ whose elements have pairwise distinct singular values. We develop a convenient description of the Poisson algebras of the ${{\mathrm U}(n)} \times {{\mathrm U}(n)}$ invariant functions, and show that one of the Hamiltonians of the reduced bi-Hamiltonian hierarchy yields a hyperbolic Sutherland model coupled to two ${\mathfrak u}(n)^*$-valued spins. Thus we obtain a new bi-Hamiltonian interpretation of this model, which represents a special case of Sutherland models coupled to two spins obtained earlier from reductions of cotangent bundles of reductive Lie groups equipped with their canonical Poisson structure. Upon setting one of the spins to zero, we recover the bi-Hamiltonian structure of the standard hyperbolic spin Sutherland model that was derived recently by a different method.

Bi-Hamiltonian structure of spin Sutherland models: the holomorphic case

We construct a bi-Hamiltonian structure for the holomorphic spin Sutherland hierarchy based on collective spin variables. The construction relies on Poisson reduction of a bi-Hamiltonian structure on the holomorphic cotangent bundle of GL(n,C), which itself arises from the canonical symplectic structure and the Poisson structure of the Heisenberg double of the standard GL(n,C) Poisson--Lie group. The previously obtained bi-Hamiltonian structures of the hyperbolic and trigonometric real forms are recovered on real slices of the holomorphic spin Sutherland model.

Trigonometric real form of the spin RS model of Krichever and Zabrodin

We investigate the trigonometric real form of the spin Ruijsenaars-Schneider system introduced, at the level of equations of motion, by Krichever and Zabrodin in 1995. This pioneering work and all earlier studies of the Hamiltonian interpretation of the system were performed in complex holomorphic settings; understanding the real forms is a non-trivial problem. We explain that the trigonometric real form emerges from Hamiltonian reduction of an obviously integrable 'free' system carried by a spin extension of the Heisenberg double of the ${\rm U}(n)$ Poisson-Lie group. The Poisson structure on the unreduced real phase space ${\rm GL}(n,\mathbb{C}) \times \mathbb{C}^{nd}$ is the direct product of that of the Heisenberg double and $d\geq 2$ copies of a ${\rm U}(n)$ covariant Poisson structure on $\mathbb{C}^n \simeq \mathbb{R}^{2n}$ found by Zakrzewski, also in 1995. We reduce by fixing a group valued moment map to a multiple of the identity, and analyze the resulting reduced system in detail. In particular, we derive on the reduced phase space the Hamiltonian structure of the trigonometric spin Ruijsenaars-Schneider system and we prove its degenerate integrability.

Reduction of a bi-Hamiltonian hierarchy on $T^*\mathrm{U}(n)$ to spin Ruijsenaars--Sutherland models

We first exhibit two compatible Poisson structures on the cotangent bundle of the unitary group $\mathrm{U}(n)$ in such a way that the invariant functions of the $\mathfrak{u}(n)^*$-valued momenta generate a bi-Hamiltonian hierarchy. One of the Poisson structures is the canonical one and the other one arises from embedding the Heisenberg double of the Poisson-Lie group $\mathrm{U}(n)$ into $T^*\mathrm{U}(n)$, and subsequently extending the embedded Poisson structure to the full cotangent bundle. We then apply Poisson reduction to the bi-Hamiltonian hierarchy on $T^*\mathrm{U}(n)$ using the conjugation action of $\mathrm{U}(n)$, for which the ring of invariant functions is closed under both Poisson brackets. We demonstrate that the reduced hierarchy belongs to the overlap of well-known trigonometric spin Sutherland and spin Ruijsenaars--Schneider type integrable many-body models, which receive a bi-Hamiltonian interpretation via our treatment.

Bi-Hamiltonian structure of a dynamical system introduced by Braden and Hone

We investigate the finite dimensional dynamical system derived by Braden and Hone in 1996 from the solitons of $A_{n-1}$ affine Toda field theory. This system of evolution equations for an $n\times n$ Hermitian matrix $L$ and a real diagonal matrix $q$ with distinct eigenvalues was interpreted as a special case of the spin Ruijsenaars--Schneider models due to Krichever and Zabrodin. A decade later, L.-C. Li re-derived the model from a general framework built on coboundary dynamical Poisson groupoids. This led to a Hamiltonian description of the gauge invariant content of the model, where the gauge transformations act as conjugations of $L$ by diagonal unitary matrices. Here, we point out that the same dynamics can be interpreted also as a special case of the spin Sutherland systems obtained by reducing the free geodesic motion on symmetric spaces, studied by Pusztai and the author in 2006; the relevant symmetric space being $\mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{C})/ \mathrm{U}(n)$. This construction provides an alternative Hamiltonian interpretation of the Braden--Hone dynamics. We prove that the two Poisson brackets are compatible and yield a bi-Hamiltonian description of the standard commuting flows of the model.

Poisson-Lie analogues of spin Sutherland models

We present generalizations of the well-known trigonometric spin Sutherland models, which were derived by Hamiltonian reduction of `free motion' on cotangent bundles of compact simple Lie groups based on the conjugation action. Our models result by reducing the corresponding Heisenberg doubles with the aid of a Poisson-Lie analogue of the conjugation action. We describe the reduced symplectic structure and show that the `reduced main Hamiltonians' reproduce the spin Sutherland model by keeping only their leading terms. The solutions of the equations of motion emerge from geodesics on the compact Lie group via the standard projection method and possess many first integrals. Similar hyperbolic spin Ruijsenaars--Schneider type models were obtained previously by L.-C. Li using a different method, based on coboundary dynamical Poisson groupoids, but their relation with spin Sutherland models was not discussed.

Global description of action-angle duality for a Poisson-Lie deformation of the trigonometric $\mathrm{BC}_n$ Sutherland system

Integrable many-body systems of Ruijsenaars--Schneider--van Diejen type displaying action-angle duality are derived by Hamiltonian reduction of the Heisenberg double of the Poisson-Lie group $\mathrm{SU}(2n)$. New global models of the reduced phase space are described, revealing non-trivial features of the two systems in duality with one another. For example, after establishing that the symplectic vector space $\mathbb{C}^n\simeq\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ underlies both global models, it is seen that for both systems the action variables generate the standard torus action on $\mathbb{C}^n$, and the fixed point of this action corresponds to the unique equilibrium positions of the pertinent systems. The systems in duality are found to be non-degenerate in the sense that the functional dimension of the Poisson algebra of their conserved quantities is equal to half the dimension of the phase space. The dual of the deformed Sutherland system is shown to be a limiting case of a van Diejen system.
