Integrable discretizations of the spin Ruijsenaars-Schneider models

Integrable discretizations are introduced for the rational and hyperbolic spin Ruijsenaars--Schneider models. These discrete dynamical systems are demonstrated to belong to the same integrable hierarchies as their continuous--time counterparts. Explicit solutions are obtained for arbitrary flows of the hierarchies, including the discrete time ones.Comment: LaTeX fil

Why are the rational and hyperbolic Ruijsenaars-Schneider hierarchies governed by the same R-operators as the Calogero-Moser ones?

We demonstrate that in a certain gauge the Lax matrices of the rational and hyperbolic Ruijsenaars--Schneider models have a quadratic $r$-matrix Poisson bracket which is an exact quadratization of the linear $r$--matrix Poisson bracket of the Calogero--Moser models. This phenomenon is explained by a geometric derivation of Lax equations for arbitrary flows of both hierarchies, which turn out to be governed by the same dynamical $R$--operator.Comment: LaTeX, 18pp, a revised versio

Stationary problems for equation of the KdV type and dynamical rr-matrices.

We study a quite general family of dynamical $r$-matrices for an auxiliary loop algebra ${\cal L}({su(2)})$ related to restricted flows for equations of the KdV type. This underlying $r$-matrix structure allows to reconstruct Lax representations and to find variables of separation for a wide set of the integrable natural Hamiltonian systems. As an example, we discuss the Henon-Heiles system and a quartic system of two degrees of freedom in detail.Comment: 25pp, LaTe

A hierarchical model for aging

We present a one dimensional model for diffusion on a hierarchical tree structure. It is shown that this model exhibits aging phenomena although no disorder is present. The origin of aging in this model is therefore the hierarchical structure of phase space.Comment: 10 pages LaTeX, 4 postscript-figures include
