Explicit solutions of classical generalized toda models

The explicit solution of the generalized Toda models connected with the root systems of simple Lie algebras is constructed. This solution is obtained by a special projection of geodesic flows on some symmetric spaces on the phase space of the Toda models. In particular, for the usualN-body Toda model the solutions are expressed by minors of the exponent of the Jacobi matrix depending on initial data.This paper has been published early as a preprint ITEP-157 (1978)
