Poisson-Lie dynamical r-matrices from Dirac reduction
The Dirac reduction technique used previously to obtain solutions of the
classical dynamical Yang-Baxter equation on the dual of a Lie algebra is
extended to the Poisson-Lie case and is shown to yield naturally certain
dynamical r-matrices on the duals of Poisson-Lie groups found by Etingof,
Enriquez and Marshall in math.QA/0403283.Comment: 10 pages, v2: minor stylistic changes, v3: corrected eq. (4.3
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 affine Toda field theory. This
system of evolution equations for an Hermitian matrix and a
real diagonal matrix 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 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 . 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.Comment: 18 pages, references and some explanations added in v
