Abstract

The full Toda system is a generalization of an open Toda chain, which is one of the archetypal examples of integrable systems. The open Toda chain illustrates the connection of the theory of integrable systems with the theory of Lie algebras and Lie groups, is a representative of the Adler-Kostant-Symes scheme for constructing and solving such systems. Until recently, only some of the results from this list were known for the full Toda system. I will talk about the construction, the commutative family, quantization and solution of the full Toda system by the QR decomposition method, as well as about the application of this system to the geometry of flag varieties. The material of this talk is based on several joint works with A. Sorin, Yu. Chernyakov and G. Sharygin.

      On the full Kostant-Toda lattice and the flag varieties

      AbstractIn 1967, Japanese physicist Morikazu Toda proposed an integrable lattice model to describe motions of a chain of particles with exponential interactions between nearest neighbors. Since then, Toda lattice and its generalizations have become the test models for various techniques and philosophies in integrable systems and wide connections are built with many other branches of mathematics...

      Loop decomposition of manifolds

      AbstractThe classification of manifolds in various categories is a classical problem in topology. It has been widely investigated by applying techniques from geometric topology in the last century. However, the known results tell us very little information about the homotopy of manifolds. In the last ten years, there have been attempts to study the homotopy properties of manifolds by using tech...
