When Where Who Title (Click for abstract)
Wed 10 Feb 2010 15:30 SISSA Room C Prof. Ian D. Marshall (Loughborough University) Poisson structure associated to differential and difference operators with the Toda lattice and KdV as examples
Abstract. I will describe a Poisson structure on the space of curves in R^n from which a series of Poisson structures on several associated spaces may be obtained by Poisson symmetry arguments. Amongst these spaces one may find differential operators and difference operators and their respective reductions. Most of the talk will involve the concrete cases n=2,3, for which the natural examples are the KdV and the Toda lattice. The construction is a simple application of the theory of Poisson Lie groups and it is intended that it will serve as an illustration of that subject, accessible to non-specialists.
