A non-local Poisson bracket for Coxeter--Toda lattices

TL;DR

This paper introduces a new non-local Poisson bracket on the phase space of Coxeter--Toda lattices, demonstrating its properties and relation to known brackets through transformations and mappings.

Contribution

It defines a novel non-local Poisson bracket on Coxeter--Toda lattice phase space and proves its compatibility with Bäcklund--Darboux transformations and the Atiyah--Hitchin bracket.

Findings

The non-local Poisson bracket is well-defined on the phase space $G^{u,v}/H$.

Generalized Bäcklund--Darboux transformations are Poisson maps.

The non-local Poisson bracket corresponds to the Atiyah--Hitchin bracket via the Moser map.

Abstract

We present a non-local Poisson bracket defined on the phase space $G^{u,v}/H$ of a Coxeter--Toda lattice, where $G^{u,v}$ is a Coxeter double Bruhat cell of $GL_n$ and $H$ is the subgroup of diagonal matrices. This non-local Poisson bracket is given in an appropriate set of coordinates of $G^{u,v}/H$ derived from the so-called {\it factorization parameters}. We prove that the generalized B\"acklund--Darboux transformations $\sigma_{u,v}^{u',v'}: G^{u,v}/H\to G^{u',v'}/H$ are Poisson maps. We exploit that fact to show that the non-local Poisson bracket corresponds to the Atiyah--Hitchin bracket under the Moser map.
