A class of Calogero type reductions of free motion on a simple Lie group

The reductions of the free geodesic motion on a non-compact simple Lie group G based on the $G_+ \times G_+$ symmetry given by left- and right multiplications for a maximal compact subgroup $G_+ \subset G$ are investigated. At generic values of the momentum map this leads to (new) spin Calogero type models. At some special values the `spin' degrees of freedom are absent and we obtain the standard $BC_n$ Sutherland model with three independent coupling constants from SU(n+1,n) and from SU(n,n). This generalization of the Olshanetsky-Perelomov derivation of the $BC_n$ model with two independent coupling constants from the geodesics on $G/G_+$ with G=SU(n+1,n) relies on fixing the right-handed momentum to a non-zero character of $G_+$. The reductions considered permit further generalizations and work at the quantized level, too, for non-compact as well as for compact G.Comment: shortened to 13 pages in v2 on request of Lett. Math.

Explicit Solution to the N-Body Calogero Problem

We solve the N-body Calogero problem, \ie N particles in 1 dimension subject to a two-body interaction of the form \half \sum_{i,j}[ (x_i - x_j)^2 + g/ {(x_i - x_j)^2}], by constructing annihilation and creation operators of the form $a_i^\mp =\frac 1 {\sqrt 2} (x _i \pm i\hat{p}_i )$, where $\hat{p}_i$ is a modified momentum operator obeying %!!!!!!! Heisenberg-type commutation relations with $x_i$, involving explicitly permutation operators. On the other hand, $D_j =i\,\hat{p}_j$ can be interpreted as a covariant derivative corresponding to a flat connection. The relation to fractional statistics in 1+1 dimensions and anyons in a strong magnetic field is briefly discussed.Comment: 6 p., latex, USITP-92-

Monopoles and Modifications of Bundles over Elliptic Curves

Modifications of bundles over complex curves is an operation that allows one to construct a new bundle from a given one. Modifications can change a topological type of bundle. We describe the topological type in terms of the characteristic classes of the bundle. Being applied to the Higgs bundles modifications establish an equivalence between different classical integrable systems. Following Kapustin and Witten we define the modifications in terms of monopole solutions of the Bogomolny equation. We find the Dirac monopole solution in the case R × (elliptic curve). This solution is a three-dimensional generalization of the Kronecker series. We give two representations for this solution and derive a functional equation for it generalizing the Kronecker results. We use it to define Abelian modifications for bundles of arbitrary rank. We also describe non-Abelian modifications in terms of theta-functions with characteristic

Goldfish geodesics and Hamiltonian reduction of matrix dynamics

We relate free vector dynamics to the eigenvalue motion of a time-dependent real-symmetric NxN matrix, and give a geodesic interpretation to Ruijsenaars Schneider models.Comment: 8 page

Hecke Transformations of Conformal Blocks in WZW Theory. I. KZB Equations for Non-Trivial Bundles

We describe new families of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov-Bernard (KZB) equations related to the WZW-theory corresponding to the adjoint G-bundles of different topological types over complex curves Σg,n of genus g with n marked points. The bundles are defined by their characteristic classes - elements of H²(Σg,n,Z(G)), where Z(G) is a center of the simple complex Lie group G. The KZB equations are the horizontality condition for the projectively flat connection (the KZB connection) defined on the bundle of conformal blocks over the moduli space of curves. The space of conformal blocks has been known to be decomposed into a few sectors corresponding to the characteristic classes of the underlying bundles. The KZB connection preserves these sectors. In this paper we construct the connection explicitly for elliptic curves with marked points and prove its flatness

Many-Body Superconformal Systems from Hamiltonian Reductions

We propose a new reduction mechanism which allows one to construct n-particle (super)conformal theories with pairwise interaction starting from a composite system involving n(n-1)/2+1 copies of the ordinary (super)conformal mechanics. Applications of the scheme include an N=4 superconformal extension for a complexification of the Calogero model and a D(2,1|\alpha)-invariant n-particle system.Comment: 12 pages, no figures. v2: Title changed.

Poisson-Lie generalization of the Kazhdan-Kostant-Sternberg reduction

The trigonometric Ruijsenaars-Schneider model is derived by symplectic reduction of Poisson-Lie symmetric free motion on the group U(n). The commuting flows of the model are effortlessly obtained by reducing canonical free flows on the Heisenberg double of U(n). The free flows are associated with a very simple Lax matrix, which is shown to yield the Ruijsenaars-Schneider Lax matrix upon reduction.Comment: 13 pages, LaTeX, minor modifications and references added in v

Euler-Calogero-Moser system from SU(2) Yang-Mills theory

The relation between SU(2) Yang-Mills mechanics, originated from the 4-dimensional SU(2) Yang-Mills theory under the supposition of spatial homogeneity of the gauge fields, and the Euler-Calogero-Moser model is discussed in the framework of Hamiltonian reduction. Two kinds of reductions of the degrees of freedom are considered: due to the gauge invariance and due to the discrete symmetry. In the former case, it is shown that after elimination of the gauge degrees of freedom from the SU(2) Yang-Mills mechanics the resulting unconstrained system represents the ID_3 Euler-Calogero-Moser model with an external fourth-order potential. Whereas in the latter, the IA_6 Euler-Calogero-Moser model embedded in an external potential is derived whose projection onto the invariant submanifold through the discrete symmetry coincides again with the SU(2) Yang-Mills mechanics. Based on this connection, the equations of motion of the SU(2) Yang-Mills mechanics in the limit of the zero coupling constant are presented in the Lax form.Comment: Revtex, 14 pages, no figures.

Is the classical Bukhvostov-Lipatov model integrable? A Painlev\'e analysis

In this work we apply the Weiss, Tabor and Carnevale integrability criterion (Painlev\'e analysis) to the classical version of the two dimensional Bukhvostov-Lipatov model. We are led to the conclusion that the model is not integrable classically, except at a trivial point where the theory can be described in terms of two uncoupled sine-Gordon models

PT Invariant Complex E (8) Root Spaces

We provide a construction procedure for complex root spaces invariant under antilinear transformations, which may be applied to any Coxeter group. The procedure is based on the factorisation of a chosen element of the Coxeter group into two factors. Each of the factors constitutes an involution and may therefore be deformed in an antilinear fashion. Having the importance of the E(8)-Coxeter group in mind, such as underlying a particular perturbation of the Ising model and the fact that for it no solution could be found previously, we exemplify the procedure for this particular case. As a concrete application of this construction we propose new generalisations of Calogero-Moser Sutherland models and affine Toda field theories based on the invariant complex root spaces and deformed complex simple roots, respectively
