Calogero-Moser Lax pairs with spectral parameter for general Lie algebras

We construct a Lax pair with spectral parameter for the elliptic Calogero-Moser Hamiltonian systems associated with each of the finite-dimensional Lie algebras, of the classical and of the exceptional type. When the spectral parameter equals one of the three half periods of the elliptic curve, our result for the classical Lie algebras reduces to one of the Lax pairs without spectral parameter that were known previously. These Calogero-Moser systems are invariant under the Weyl group of the associated untwisted affine Lie algebra. For non-simply laced Lie algebras, we introduce new integrable systems, naturally associated with twisted affine Lie algebras, and construct their Lax operators with spectral parameter (except in the case of G₂).     

A Class of Integrable Spin Calogero-Moser Systems

 We introduce a class of spin Calogero-Moser systems associated with root systems of simple Lie algebras and give the associated Lax representations (with spectral parameter) and fundamental Poisson bracket relations. The associated integrable models (called integrable spin Calogero-Moser systems in the paper) and their Lax pairs are then obtained via Poisson reduction and gauge transformations. For Lie algebras of A _n -type, this new class of integrable systems includes the usual Calogero-Moser systems as subsystems. Our method is guided by a general framework which we develop here using dynamical Lie algebroids.

Quantization and representation theory of finiteW algebras

In this paper we study the finitely generated algebras underlyingW algebras. These so called finiteW algebras are constructed as Poisson reductions of Kirillov Poisson structures on simple Lie algebras. The inequivalent reductions are labeled by the inequivalent embeddings ofsl ₂ into the simple Lie algebra in question. For arbitrary embeddings a coordinate free formula for the reduced Poisson structure is derived. We also prove that any finiteW algebra can be embedded into the Kirillov Poisson algebra of a (semi)simple Lie algebra (generalized Miura map). Furthermore it is shown that generalized finite Toda systems are reductions of a system describing a free particle moving on a group manifold and that they have finiteW symmetry. In the second part we BRST quantize the finiteW algebras. The BRST cohomology is calculated using a spectral sequence (which is different from the one used by Feigin and Frenkel). This allows us to quantize all finiteW algebras in one stroke. Examples are given. In the last part of the paper we study the representation theory of finiteW algebras. It is shown, using a quantum version of the generalized Miura transformation, that the representations of finiteW algebras can be constructed from the representations of a certain Lie subalgebra of the original simple Lie algebra. As a byproduct of this we are able to construct the Fock realizations of arbitrary finiteW algebras.     

Quantum Lie Algebras, Their Existence, Uniqueness and q-Antisymmetry

Quantum Lie algebras are generalizations of Lie algebras which have the quantum parameter h built into their structure. They have been defined concretely as certain submodules of the quantized enveloping algebras . On them the quantum Lie product is given by the quantum adjoint action. Here we define for any finite-dimensional simple complex Lie algebra an abstract quantum Lie algebra independent of any concrete realization. Its h-dependent structure constants are given in terms of inverse quantum Clebsch-Gordan coefficients. We then show that all concrete quantum Lie algebras are isomorphic to an abstract quantum Lie algebra . In this way we prove two important properties of quantum Lie algebras: 1) all quantum Lie algebras associated to the same are isomorphic, 2) the quantum Lie product of any is q-antisymmetric. We also describe a construction of which establishes their existence. Received: 23 May 1996 / Accepted: 17 October 1996     

On Generating Discrete Integrable Systems via Lie Algebras and Commutator Equations

In the paper,we introduce the Lie algebras and the commutator equations to rewrite the Tu-d scheme for generating discrete integrable systems regularly.By the approach the various loop algebras of the Lie algebra A_1are defined so that the well-known Toda hierarchy and a novel discrete integrable system are obtained,respectively.A reduction of the later hierarchy is just right the famous Ablowitz-Ladik hierarchy.Finally,via two different enlarging Lie algebras of the Lie algebra A_1,we derive two resulting differential-difference integrable couplings of the Toda hierarchy,of course,they are all various discrete expanding integrable models of the Toda hierarchy.When the introduced spectral matrices are higher degrees,the way presented in the paper is more convenient to generate discrete integrable equations than the Tu-d scheme by using the software Maple.     

Contractions and deformations of quasiclassical Lie algebras preserving a nondegenerate quadratic Casimir operator

By means of contractions of Lie algebras, we obtain new classes of indecomposable quasiclassical Lie algebras that satisfy the Yang-Baxter equations in its reformulation in terms of triple products. These algebras are shown to arise naturally from noncompact real simple algebras with nonsimple complexification, where we impose that a nondegenerate quadratic Casimir operator is preserved by the limiting process. We further consider the converse problem and obtain sufficient conditions on integrable cocycles of quasiclassical Lie algebras in order to preserve nondegenerate quadratic Casimir operators by the associated linear deformations. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Continuum analogues of contragredient Lie algebras (Lie algebras with a Cartan operator and nonlinear dynamical systems)

We present an axiomatic formulation of a new class of infinitedimensional Lie algebras-the generalizations ofZ-graded Lie algebras with, generally speaking, an infinite-dimensional Cartan subalgebra and a contiguous set of roots. We call such algebras continuum Lie algebras. The simple Lie algebras of constant growth are encapsulated in our formulation. We pay particular attention to the case when the local algebra is parametrized by a commutative algebra while the Cartan operator (the generalization of the Cartan matrix) is a linear operator. Special examples of these algebras are the Kac-Moody algebras, algebras of Poisson brackets, algebras of vector fields on a manifold, current algebras, and algebras with differential or integro-differential cartan operator. The nonlinear dynamical systems associated with the continuum contragredient Lie algebras are also considered.     

Hamiltonian Forms for a Hierarchy of Discrete Integrable Coupling Systems

A semi-direct sum of two Lie algebras of four-by-four matrices is presented, and a discrete four-by-four matrix spectral problem is introduced. A hierarchy of discrete integrable coupling systems is derived. The obtained integrable coupling systems are all written in their Hamiltonian forms by the discrete variational identity. Finally, we prove that the lattice equations in the obtained integrable coupling systems are all Liouville integrable discrete Hamiltonian systems.     

Semi-direct sums of Lie algebras and continuous integrable couplings

A relation between semi-direct sums of Lie algebras and integrable couplings of continuous soliton equations is presented, and correspondingly, a feasible way to construct integrable couplings is furnished. A direct application to the AKNS spectral problem leads to a novel hierarchy of integrable couplings of the AKNS hierarchy of soliton equations. It is also indicated that the study of integrable couplings using semi-direct sums of Lie algebras is an important step towards complete classification of integrable systems.     

Contractions of Lie Bialgebras and Quantum Algebras

Contractions of Lie bialgebras and Hopf algebras are discussed with examples. Especially, it is shown that the Lie bialgebras associated with the compact simple Lie algebras and the quantum doubles associated with the complex simple Lie algebras can be contracted.     

Classical integrable many-body systems disconnected with semi-simple Lie algebras

The review of the results in the theory of integrable many-body systems disconnected with semisimple Lie algebras is done. The one-dimensional systems of light Calogero–Sutherland–Moser particles interacting with one particle of infinite mass located at the origin are described in detail. In some cases the exact solutions of the equations of motion are obtained. The general theory of integration of the equations of motion needs the methods of algebraic geometry. The Lax pairs with spectral parameter are constructed for this purpose. The theory still contains many unsolved problems.     

Algebraic implications of composability of physical systems

From classical and quantum mechanics we abstract the concept of a two-product algebra. One of its products is left unspecified; the other is a Lie product and a derivation with respect to the first. From composition of physical systems we abstract the concept of composition classes of such two-product algebras, each class being a semigroup with a unit. We show that the requirement of mutual consistency of the algebraic and the semigroup structures completely determines both the composition classes and the two-product algebras they consist of. The solutions are labelled by a single parameter which in the physical case is proportional to the square of the quantum of action.     

A real nonlinear integrable couplings of continuous soliton hierarchy and its Hamiltonian structure

Some integrable coupling systems of existing papers are linear integrable couplings. In the Letter, beginning with Lax pairs from special non-semisimple matrix Lie algebras, we establish a scheme for constructing real nonlinear integrable couplings of continuous soliton hierarchy. A direct application to the AKNS spectral problem leads to a novel nonlinear integrable couplings, then we consider the Hamiltonian structures of nonlinear integrable couplings of AKNS hierarchy with the component-trace identity.     

Secondary Quantum Hamiltonian Reductions

Recently, it has been shown how to perform the quantum hamiltonian reduction in the case of general embeddings into Lie (super)algebras, and in the case of general embeddings into Lie superalgebras. In another development it has been shown that when and are both subalgebras of a Lie algebra with , then classically the algebra can be obtained by performing a secondary hamiltonian reduction on . In this paper we show that the corresponding statement is true also for quantum hamiltonian reduction when the simple roots of can be chosen as a subset of the simple roots of . As an application, we show that the quantum secondary reductions provide a natural framework to study and explain the linearization of the algebras, as well as a great number of new realizations of algebras.

Fock Representations of Lie Algebras,Loop Algebras and Affine Lie Algebras

Explicit Fock representations of the classical Lie algebras in terms of boson creation and annihilation operators with an arbitrary highest weight are derived, and a general rule to construct Fock represen tations of a loop algebra from a boson realization ofits corresponding Lie algebra is establislted. A new kind of lowest weight represen tations of the affine Lie algebras attached to the classical Lie algebras, which require a zero center, is also presented. Based on these, a simple affinization procedure is given to obtain the Fock representations of level 1 of these affine Lie algebras.     

Higher-Order Simple Lie Algebras

It is shown that the non-trivial cocycles on simple Lie algebras may be used to introduce antisymmetric multibrackets which lead to higher-order Lie algebras, the definition of which is given. Their generalised Jacobi identities turn out to be satisfied by the antisymmetric tensors (or higher-order “structure constants”) which characterise the Lie algebra cocycles. This analysis allows us to present a classification of the higher-order simple Lie algebras as well as a constructive procedure for them. Our results are synthesised by the introduction of a single, complete BRST operator associated with each simple algebra. Received: 3 June 1996 / Accepted: 8 November 1996     

Lie Algebras Associated with Group U（n）

Starting from the subgroups of the group U（n）, the corresponding Lie algebras of the Lie algebra Al are presented, from which two well-known simple equivalent matrix Lie algebras are given. It follows that a few expanding Lie algebras are obtained by enlarging matrices. Some of them can be devoted to producing double integrable couplings of the soliton hierarchies of nonlinear evolution equations. Others can be used to generate integrable couplings involving more potential functions. The above Lie algebras are classified into two types. Only one type can generate the integrable couplings, whose Hamiltonian structure could be obtained by use of the quadratic-form identity. In addition, one condition on searching for integrable couplings is improved such that more useful Lie algebras are enlightened to engender. Then two explicit examples are shown to illustrate the applications of the Lie algebras. Finally, with the help of closed cycling operation relations, another way of producing higher-dimensional Lie algebras is given.     

Special tensors in the deformation theory of quadratic algebras for the classical Lie algebras

Using deformation theory, Braverman and Joseph constructed certain primitive ideals in the enveloping algebras of the simple Lie algebras. Except in the case sl(2,C)$\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}(2,\mathbb{C})$, there is a special value of the deformation parameter giving an ideal of infinite codimension. For the classical Lie algebras, the uniqueness of the special value is equivalent to the existence of tensors with very particular properties. The existence of these tensors was concluded abstractly by Braverman and Joseph but here we present explicit formulae. This allows a rather direct computation of the special value of the deformation parameter.     

Quasigraded deformations of loop algebras and classical integrable systems

We construct a family of infinite-dimensional quasigraded Lie algebras, that could be viewed as deformation of the graded loop algebras. Using them we obtain new series of integrable Hamiltonian systems on semisimple Lie algebras and their extensions.
