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.

The action-angle dual of an integrable Hamiltonian system of Ruijsenaars--Schneider--van Diejen type

Integrable deformations of the hyperbolic and trigonometric ${\mathrm{BC}}_n$ Sutherland models were recently derived via Hamiltonian reduction of certain free systems on the Heisenberg doubles of ${\mathrm{SU}}(n,n)$ and ${\mathrm{SU}}(2n)$, respectively. As a step towards constructing action-angle variables for these models, we here apply the same reduction to a different free system on the double of ${\mathrm{SU}}(2n)$ and thereby obtain a novel integrable many-body model of Ruijsenaars--Schneider--van Diejen type that is in action-angle duality with the respective deformed Sutherland model.

Trigonometric and elliptic Ruijsenaars-Schneider systems on the complex projective space

We present a direct construction of compact real forms of the trigonometric and elliptic $n$-particle Ruijsenaars-Schneider systems whose completed center-of-mass phase space is the complex projective space $\mathbb{CP}^{n-1}$ with the Fubini-Study symplectic structure. These systems are labelled by an integer $p\in\{1,\dots,n-1\}$ relative prime to $n$ and a coupling parameter $y$ varying in a certain punctured interval around $pπ/n$. Our work extends Ruijsenaars's pioneering study of compactifications that imposed the restriction $0<y<π/n$, and also builds on an earlier derivation of more general compact trigonometric systems by Hamiltonian reduction.

The full phase space of a model in the Calogero-Ruijsenaars family

We complete the recent derivation of a Ruijsenaars type system that arises as a reduction of the natural free system on the Heisenberg double of SU(n,n). The previous analysis by Marshall focused on a dense open submanifold of the reduced phase space, and here we describe the full phase space wherein Liouville integrability of the system holds by construction.

Equivalence of two sets of Hamiltonians associated with the rational BC(n) Ruijsenaars-Schneider-van Diejen system

The equivalence of two complete sets of Poisson commuting Hamiltonians of the (super)integrable rational BC(n) Ruijsenaars-Schneider-van Diejen system is established. Specifically, the commuting Hamiltonians constructed by van Diejen are shown to be linear combinations of the Hamiltonians generated by the characteristic polynomial of the Lax matrix obtained recently by Pusztai, and the explicit formula of this invertible linear transformation is found.

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.

Duality between the trigonometric BC(n) Sutherland system and a completed rational Ruijsenaars-Schneider-van Diejen system

We present a new case of duality between integrable many-body systems, where two systems live on the action-angle phase spaces of each other in such a way that the action variables of each system serve as the particle positions of the other one. Our investigation utilizes an idea that was exploited previously to provide group-theoretic interpretation for several dualities discovered originally by Ruijsenaars. In the group-theoretic framework one applies Hamiltonian reduction to two Abelian Poisson algebras of invariants on a higher dimensional phase space and identifies their reductions as action and position variables of two integrable systems living on two different models of the single reduced phase space. Taking the cotangent bundle of U(2n) as the upstairs space, we demonstrate how this mechanism leads to a new dual pair involving the BC(n) trigonometric Sutherland system. Thereby we generalize earlier results pertaining to the A(n) trigonometric Sutherland system as well as a recent work by Pusztai on the hyperbolic BC(n) Sutherland system.

New compact forms of the trigonometric Ruijsenaars-Schneider system

The reduction of the quasi-Hamiltonian double of ${\mathrm{SU}}(n)$ that has been shown to underlie Ruijsenaars' compactified trigonometric $n$-body system is studied in its natural generality. The constraints contain a parameter $y$, restricted in previous works to $0<y < π/n$ because Ruijsenaars' original compactification relies on an equivalent condition. It is found that allowing generic $0<y<π/2$ results in the appearance of new self-dual compact forms, of two qualitatively different types depending on the value of $y$. The type (i) cases are similar to the standard case in that the reduced phase space comes equipped with globally smooth action and position variables, and turns out to be symplectomorphic to ${\mathbb{C}P^{n-1}}$ as a Hamiltonian toric manifold. In the type (ii) cases both the position variables and the action variables develop singularities on a nowhere dense subset. A full classification is derived for the parameter $y$ according to the type (i) versus type (ii) dichotomy. The simplest new type (i) systems, for which $π/n < y < π/(n-1)$, are described in some detail as an illustration.

Action-angle map and duality for the open Toda lattice in the perspective of Hamiltonian reduction

An alternative derivation of the known action-angle map of the standard open Toda lattice is presented based on its identification as the natural map between two gauge slices in the relevant symplectic reduction of the cotangent bundle of $GL(n,{\mathbb R})$. This then permits to interpret Ruijsenaars' action-angle duality for the Toda system in the same group-theoretic framework which was established previously for Calogero type systems.

An application of the reduction method to Sutherland type many-body systems

We study Hamiltonian reductions of the free geodesic motion on a non-compact simple Lie group using as reduction group the direct product of a maximal compact subgroup and the fixed point subgroup of an arbitrary involution commuting with the Cartan involution. In general, we describe the reduced system that arises upon restriction to a dense open submanifold and interpret it as a spin Sutherland system. This dense open part yields the full reduced system in important special examples without spin degrees of freedom, which include the BC(n) Sutherland system built on 3 arbitrary couplings for m<n positively charged and (n-m) negatively charged particles moving on the half-line.

Dynamical symmetry of the Kaluza-Klein monopole

The Kepler-type dynamical symmetries of the Kaluza-Klein monopole are reviewed. At the classical level, the conservation of the angular momentum and of a Runge-Lenz vector imply that the trajectories are conic sections. The o(4) algebra allows us to calculate the bound-state spectrum, and the o(3,1) algebra yields the scattering matrix. The symmetry algebra extends to o(4,2).

Superintegrability of rational Ruijsenaars-Schneider systems and their action-angle duals

We explain that the action-angle duality between the rational Ruijsenaars-Schneider and hyperbolic Sutherland systems implies immediately the maximal superintegrability of these many-body systems. We also present a new direct proof of the Darboux form of the reduced symplectic structure that arises in the `Ruijsenaars gauge' of the symplectic reduction underlying this case of action-angle duality. The same arguments apply to the BC(n) generalization of the pertinent dual pair, which was recently studied by Pusztai developing a method utilized in our direct calculation of the reduced symplectic structure.

The Ruijsenaars self-duality map as a mapping class symplectomorphism

This is a brief review of the main results of our paper arXiv:1101.1759 that contains a complete global treatment of the compactified trigonometric Ruijsenaars-Schneider system by quasi-Hamiltonian reduction. Confirming previous conjectures of Gorsky and collaborators, we have rigorously established the interpretation of the system in terms of flat SU(n) connections on the one-holed torus and demonstrated that its self-duality symplectomorphism represents the natural action of the standard mapping class generator S on the phase space. The pertinent quasi-Hamiltonian reduced phase space turned out to be symplectomorphic to the complex projective space equipped with a multiple of the Fubini-Study symplectic form and two toric moment maps playing the roles of particle-positions and action-variables that are exchanged by the duality map. Open problems and possible directions for future work are also discussed.

On the spectra of the quantized action-variables of the compactified Ruijsenaars-Schneider system

A simple derivation of the spectra of the action-variables of the quantized compactified Ruijsenaars-Schneider system is presented. The spectra are obtained by combining Kahler quantization with the identification of the classical action-variables as a standard toric moment map on the complex projective space. The result is consistent with the Schrodinger quantization of the system worked out previously by van Diejen and Vinet.

Self-duality of the compactified Ruijsenaars-Schneider system from quasi-Hamiltonian reduction

The Delzant theorem of symplectic topology is used to derive the completely integrable compactified Ruijsenaars-Schneider III(b) system from a quasi-Hamiltonian reduction of the internally fused double SU(n) x SU(n). In particular, the reduced spectral functions depending respectively on the first and second SU(n) factor of the double engender two toric moment maps on the III(b) phase space CP(n-1) that play the roles of action-variables and particle-positions. A suitable central extension of the SL(2,Z) mapping class group of the torus with one boundary component is shown to act on the quasi-Hamiltonian double by automorphisms and, upon reduction, the standard generator S of the mapping class group is proved to descend to the Ruijsenaars self-duality symplectomorphism that exchanges the toric moment maps. We give also two new presentations of this duality map: one as the composition of two Delzant symplectomorphisms and the other as the composition of three Dehn twist symplectomorphisms realized by Goldman twist flows. Through the well-known relation between quasi-Hamiltonian manifolds and moduli spaces, our results rigorously establish the validity of the interpretation [going back to Gorsky and Nekrasov] of the III(b) system in terms of flat SU(n) connections on the one-holed torus.

An integrable BC(n) Sutherland model with two types of particles

A hyperbolic BC(n) Sutherland model involving three independent coupling constants that characterize the interactions of two types of particles moving on the half-line is derived by Hamiltonian reduction of the free geodesic motion on the group SU(n,n). The symmetry group underlying the reduction is provided by the direct product of the fixed point subgroups of two commuting involutions of SU(n,n). The derivation implies the integrability of the model and yields a simple algorithm for constructing its solutions.

Trigonometric Sutherland systems and their Ruijsenaars duals from symplectic reduction

Besides its usual interpretation as a system of $n$ indistinguishable particles moving on the circle, the trigonometric Sutherland system can be viewed alternatively as a system of distinguishable particles on the circle or on the line, and these 3 physically distinct systems are in duality with corresponding variants of the rational Ruijsenaars-Schneider system. We explain that the 3 duality relations, first obtained by Ruijsenaars in 1995, arise naturally from the Kazhdan-Kostant-Sternberg symplectic reductions of the cotangent bundles of the group U(n) and its covering groups $U(1) \times SU(n)$ and ${\mathbb R}\times SU(n)$, respectively. This geometric interpretation enhances our understanding of the duality relations and simplifies Ruijsenaars' original direct arguments that led to their discovery.
