R-matrix for a geodesic flow associated with a new integrable peakon equation

We use the r-matrix formulation to show the integrability of geodesic flow on an $N$-dimensional space with coordinates $q_k$, with $k=1,...,N$, equipped with the co-metric $g^{ij}=e^{-|q_i-q_j|}\big(2-e^{-|q_i-q_j|}\big)$. This flow is generated by a symmetry of the integrable partial differential equation (pde) $m_t+um_x+3mu_x=0, m=u-\alpha^2u_{xx}$ (\al is a constant). This equation -- called the Degasperis-Procesi (DP) equation -- was recently proven to be completely integrable and possess peakon solutions by Degasperis, Holm and Hone (DHH[2002]). The isospectral eigenvalue problem associated with the integrable DP equation is used to find a new $L$-matrix, called the Lax matrix, for the geodesic dynamical flow. By employing this Lax matrix we obtain the $r$-matrix for the integrable geodesic flow.Comment: This paper has some crucial technical errors in $r$-matrix formula derivatio
