Thom series of contact singularities
Thom polynomials measure how global topology forces singularities. The power
of Thom polynomials predestine them to be a useful tool not only in
differential topology, but also in algebraic geometry (enumerative geometry,
moduli spaces) and algebraic combinatorics. The main obstacle of their
widespread application is that only a few, sporadic Thom polynomials have been
known explicitly. In this paper we develop a general method for calculating
Thom polynomials of contact singularities. Along the way, relations with the
equivariant geometry of (punctual, local) Hilbert schemes, and with iterated
residue identities are revealed
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.Comment: Based on talk at the workshop CQIS-2011 (Protvino, Russia, January

Hamiltonian reductions of free particles under polar actions of compact Lie groups
Classical and quantum Hamiltonian reductions of free geodesic systems of
complete Riemannian manifolds are investigated. The reduced systems are
described under the assumption that the underlying compact symmetry group acts
in a polar manner in the sense that there exist regularly embedded, closed,
connected submanifolds meeting all orbits orthogonally in the configuration
space. Hyperpolar actions on Lie groups and on symmetric spaces lead to
families of integrable systems of spin Calogero-Sutherland type.Comment: 15 pages, minor correction and updated references in v
On dynamical r-matrices obtained from Dirac reduction and their generalizations to affine Lie algebras
According to Etingof and Varchenko, the classical dynamical Yang-Baxter
equation is a guarantee for the consistency of the Poisson bracket on certain
Poisson-Lie groupoids. Here it is noticed that Dirac reductions of these
Poisson manifolds give rise to a mapping from dynamical r-matrices on a pair
\L\subset \A to those on another pair \K\subset \A, where \K\subset
\L\subset \A is a chain of Lie algebras for which \L admits a reductive
decomposition as \L=\K+\M. Several known dynamical r-matrices appear
naturally in this setting, and its application provides new r-matrices, too. In
particular, we exhibit a family of r-matrices for which the dynamical variable
lies in the grade zero subalgebra of an extended affine Lie algebra obtained
from a twisted loop algebra based on an arbitrary finite dimensional self-dual
Lie algebra.Comment: 19 pages, LaTeX, added a reference and a footnote and removed some

Extended matrix Gelfand-Dickey hierarchies: reduction to classical Lie algebras
The Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction method has been used to associate with
extensions of the matrix r-KdV system. Reductions of these systems to the fixed
point sets of involutive Poisson maps, implementing reduction of to
classical Lie algebras of type , are here presented. Modifications
corresponding, in the first place to factorisation of the Lax operator, and
then to Wakimoto realisations of the current algebra components of the
factorisation, are also described.Comment: plain TeX, 12 page
On the duality between the hyperbolic Sutherland and the rational Ruijsenaars-Schneider models
We consider two families of commuting Hamiltonians on the cotangent bundle of
the group GL(n,C), and show that upon an appropriate single symplectic
reduction they descend to the spectral invariants of the hyperbolic Sutherland
and of the rational Ruijsenaars-Schneider Lax matrices, respectively. The
duality symplectomorphism between these two integrable models, that was
constructed by Ruijsenaars using direct methods, can be then interpreted
geometrically simply as a gauge transformation connecting two cross sections of
the orbits of the reduction group.Comment: 16 pages, v2: comments and references added at the end of the tex
On the Completeness of the Set of Classical W-Algebras Obtained from DS Reductions
We clarify the notion of the DS --- generalized Drinfeld-Sokolov ---
reduction approach to classical -algebras. We first strengthen an
earlier theorem which showed that an embedding can be associated to every DS reduction. We then use the fact that a
\W-algebra must have a quasi-primary basis to derive severe restrictions on
the possible reductions corresponding to a given embedding. In the
known DS reductions found to date, for which the \W-algebras are denoted by
-algebras and are called canonical, the
quasi-primary basis corresponds to the highest weights of the . Here we
find some examples of noncanonical DS reductions leading to \W-algebras which
are direct products of -algebras and `free field'
algebras with conformal weights . We also show
that if the conformal weights of the generators of a -algebra
obtained from DS reduction are nonnegative (which isComment: 48 pages, plain TeX, BONN-HE-93-14, DIAS-STP-93-0
Extensions of the matrix Gelfand-Dickey hierarchy from generalized Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction
The matrix version of the -KdV hierarchy has been recently
treated as the reduced system arising in a Drinfeld-Sokolov type Hamiltonian
symmetry reduction applied to a Poisson submanifold in the dual of the Lie
algebra . Here a
series of extensions of this matrix Gelfand-Dickey system is derived by means
of a generalized Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction defined for the Lie algebra
using the natural
embedding for any positive integer. The
hierarchies obtained admit a description in terms of a matrix
pseudo-differential operator comprising an -KdV type positive part and a
non-trivial negative part. This system has been investigated previously in the
case as a constrained KP system. In this paper the previous results are
considerably extended and a systematic study is presented on the basis of the
Drinfeld-Sokolov approach that has the advantage that it leads to local Poisson
brackets and makes clear the conformal (-algebra) structures related to
the KdV type hierarchies. Discrete reductions and modified versions of the
extended -KdV hierarchies are also discussed.Comment: 60 pages, plain TE
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.Comment: 14 pages, with minor modifications in v
Nonstandard Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction
Subject to some conditions, the input data for the Drinfeld-Sokolov
construction of KdV type hierarchies is a quadruplet (\A,\Lambda, d_1, d_0),
where the are -gradations of a loop algebra \A and \Lambda\in \A
is a semisimple element of nonzero -grade. A new sufficient condition on
the quadruplet under which the construction works is proposed and examples are
presented. The proposal relies on splitting the -grade zero part of \A
into a vector space direct sum of two subalgebras. This permits one to
interpret certain Gelfand-Dickey type systems associated with a nonstandard
splitting of the algebra of pseudo-differential operators in the
Drinfeld-Sokolov framework.Comment: 19 pages, LaTeX fil
