Linearization, separability and Lax pairs representation of Toda lattice
Abstract.
The aim of this work is focused on linearizing and found the Lax Pairs of the algebraic complete integrability (a.c.i) Toda lattice associated with the twisted affine Lie algebra . Firstly, we recall that our case of a.c.i is a two-dimensional algebraic completely integrable systems for which the invariant (real) tori can be extended to complex algebraic tori (abelian surfaces). This implies that the geometry can be used to study this system. Secondly, we show that the lattice is related to the Mumford system and we construct an explicit morphism between these systems, leading to a new Poisson structure for the Mumford system. Finally, we give a new Lax equation for this Toda lattice and we construct an explicit linearization of the system.

Many integrable systems from classical mechanics admit a complexification, where phase space and time are complexified, and the geometry of the (complex) momentum map is the best possible complex analogue of the geometry that appears in the Liouville Theorem. Namely, in many relevant examples the generic complexified fiber is an affine part of an Abelian variety (a compact algebraic torus) and the integrable vector fields are translation invariant, when restricted to any of these tori. Such integrable systems are call them algebraic completely integrable systems, following the original definition of Adler and van Moerbeke.
Integrable systems have been integrated classically in terms of quadratures, usually through a sequence of very ingenious algebraic manipulations especially tailored to the problem. More recently, it was realized that whenever a system could be represented as a family of Lax pairs. the system could be linearized on the Jacobian of a spectral curve, defined by the characteristic polynomial of one of the matrices in the Lax pair.
To show that a Hamiltonian system linearizes on an Abelian variety, one may either construct a Lax representation of the differential equation depending on an extra-parameter and linearize on the Jacobian of the curve specified by its characteristic equation, or one may complete the complexified invariant manifolds by using the Laurent solutions of the differential equations. The latter method allows us in addition to identify the nature of the invariant manifolds and of the solutions of the system: in most examples the isospectral manifolds and the invariant manifolds are different.
In the previous work [3], we have prove that the is a two-dimensional integrable system. This system satisfies the linearization criterion [[1], theorem 6.41] and it is an algebraic completely integrable in the Adler-van Moerbeke sense. This system has a smooth hyperelliptic curve of genus two. According to Vanhaecke [7] and Mumford’s description of hyperelliptic Jacobians (see [[5], Section 3.1]), like is a hyperelliptic curve of genus two then the Riemann surface is embedded in its jacobian such that is isomorphic to the space of pairs of polynomials . is a monic of degree two and less than two. is divisible by .
The aim of this paper is how we can linearize and find the Toda lattice Lax pair or Lax representation? To prove this, we construct an explicit map from the generic fiber into the Jacobian of the Riemann surface . After we find the kummer surface of , and .
This paper is organized as follows. In section 2, preliminaries of this work, we give the basic notions of linearising, separating variables and Lax representation. In section 3, main part of the paper, we show that the a.c.i Toda lattice is related to the Mumford system and we construct an explicit morphism between these systems, leading to a new Poisson structure for the Mumford system. Finally, we give a new Lax equation with spectral parameter for this Toda lattice and we construct an explicit linearization of the system.

3. Separability and linearization of two-dimensional Toda lattice
3.1. Linearization procedure
According to [1], since is a principally polarized Abelian variety of dimension , the Lefschetz Theorem implies that it can be embedded in , by using the sections of . However, the sections of never embed in projective space, but rather they embed its Kummer variety in projective space. An important particular case is that of the Kummer surface , where is a hyperelliptic Riemann surface of genus . The line bundle that corresponds to twice the principal polarization on has in this case independent sections and the associated Kodaira map, which maps into , factors through , realizing the Kummer surface as a surface in .
Being two-dimensional the image is given by a single equation; to compute the degree of this equation, we use the fact that this degree is given by , where is associated -form ofthe standard Kahler structure on . Clearly this is twice the volume of , which itself is half the volume of the Jacobi surface (with the polarization of type ).
In the two-dimensional case, the invariant manifolds complete into
Abelian surfaces by adding one (or several) curves to the affine
surfaces. In this case, Vanhaecke proposed in [7] a method
which leads to an explicit linearization of the vector field of the
a.c.i. system. The computation of the first few terms of the Laurent
solutions to the differential equations enables us to construct an
embedding of the invariant manifolds in the projective space
. From this embedding, one deduces the structure of
the divisors to be adjoined to the generic affine
in order to complete them into Abelian surfaces .
Thus, the system is a.c.i.. The different steps of the algorithm of
Vanhaecke are given by:
case 1
-
a)
If one of the components of is a smooth curve of genus two, compute the image of the rational map which is a singular surface in , the Kummer surface of jacobian of the curve .
-
b)
Otherwise, if one of the components of is a unramified cover of a smooth curve of genus two, the map extends to the map . In this case, let denote the (non complete) linear system which corresponds to the complete linear system and compute now the Kummer surface of as image of .
-
c)
Otherwise, change the divisor at infinity so as to arrive in case (a) or (b). This can always be done for any irreducible Abelian surface.
case 2. Choose a Weierstrass point on the curve and
coordinates for such
in case 1.(a) and
in case 1.(b). Then this
point will be a singular point (node) for the Kummer surface
whose equation is
where the
are polynomials of degree . After a projective transformation
which fixes , we may assume that .
case 3. Finally, let and be the roots of the quadractic equation , whose discriminant is , with the expressed in terms of the original variables. Then the differential equations describing the vector field of the system are rewritten by direct computation in the classical Weierstrass form

3.2. A.C.I of Toda lattice
In this section, we recall, according to [3], some results
relating the two-dimensional Toda
lattice. It is well known that this system is a.c.i.
The Toda lattice, introduced by Morikazu Toda in [6], is a simple model for a one-dimensional crystal in solid-state physics. It is famous because it is one of the first examples of a completely integrable nonlinear system. It is described by a chain of particles with nearest-neighbor interaction, and its dynamics are governed by the Hamiltonian
and the equations of motion
where is the displacement of the -th particle from its equilibrium position, and is its momentum (with mass ), and the Toda potential is given by . The classical Toda lattice is a system of particles with unit mass, connected by exponential springs. Its equations of motion derived from the Hamiltonian.

where is the position of the j-th particle and is its amount of movement. This type of Hamiltonian was considered first by Morikazu Toda [6]. The equation (3.2) is known as the finite classic no periodic Toda lattice to distinguish other versions of various forms of the system. The periodic version of (3.2) is given by
where the equations of motion are given by
The differential equations of the periodic Toda lattice are given on the five dimensions hyperplane by
where , and is the Cartan matrix of the twisted affine Lie algebra given in [1] by
and is the normalized null vector of . The equations of motion of the Toda lattice are given in [1] by :
(3.3) |
We denote by the vector field defined by the above
differential equations (3.3). Then is the
Hamiltonian vector field, with Hamiltonian function
with respect to the Poisson
structure defined by the following
skew-symmetric matrix
(3.4) |
This Poisson structure is given on ; the function is a Casimir, so that the hyperplane is a Poisson subvariety. The rank of this Poisson structure is on the three-dimensional subspace ; the rank is on the three four-dimensional subspaces: , and . Thus, for all points of except the four subspaces above the rank is . The vector field admits also the following two constants of motion:
(3.5) |
is a Casimir for , and the function generates a second Hamiltonian vector field , which commutes with , given by the differential equations
(3.6) |
Hence the system (3.3) is completely integrable in the Livouille sense. It can be written as a Hamiltonian vector fields
where the Hamiltonian structure is defined by the following Poisson bracket
where and
is an
antisymmetric matrix.
The vector field admits the same constants of motion (3.5) and is in involution with therefore . The involution defined on by
preserves the constants of motion and , hence leave the fibers of the momentum map invariant. This involution can be restricts to the hyperplane .
Lemma 3.1.
The set of regular values of the momentum map is the Zariski open subset defined by
At a generic point , the fiber on of is therefore:
Hence we have the following result which prove that Toda lattice is a completely integrable system in the Liouville sense.
Proposition 3.2.
Proposition 3.3.

and defined by:
two singular curves of respective genus and and one smooth curve and defined by

4. Linearization and Lax pairs of the Toda lattice
The involution on the abelian surface give a singular surface, his Kummer surface. Here we give an equation of Kummer surface lie with the Jacobi surface where is a hyperelliptic Riemann surface of genus define above. The surface is an abelian principal polarisation and the section of the line bundle embed his Kummer surface in the projectif space
Consider the functions which have a double pole on one of
component of divisor , namely
and no pole on the other.
Now, we find a basis function on which has a double pole in when we substitute the principal balance and no poles when the other principal balances are substituted. Using , and give in [3], we obtain a basis of these functions constituate by the functions give in the following table:

Hence we can formulate the following result:

Proof.
By substitute the balance in the , functions and taking the coefficients of of Laurent series , the map induce on a map

hence a basis is take convenably. ∎
Consider the constants of motion
(4.5) |
and eliminating the variables in the principals balances , and in [3] we obtain:
(4.6) |
Using the second equations of (4.1) and (4.5), we obtain
(4.7) |
Rewriting the last equation of (4.5) on the follow form
we obtain a Kummer surface of Jac(). It can be put in the follow form

Theorem 4.3.
The vector field 3.3 extends to a linear vector field on the abelian surface and the Jacobi form for the differentials equation can be written as
with and is birational equivalent to the hyperelliptic curve of genus two
Proof.
Consider coefficient of in equation (4.8) with the variables and

and like then:
hence
This show that the Toda is linearising on the Jacobian variety of the curve . It is able to see how and are related.
Like

one verifies, by a direct computation, that the expression is divisible by with
Hence is birational to the affine curve by adding the Weierstrass points at infinity . ∎
The form 4.14 is ewuivalent to
where is a basis for holomorphic differentials on , and two points of and viewed as a divisor on the genus hyperelliptic curve . Thus, by integrating 4.14, we see that the flow of is linear on the Jacobian of the curve . By using [[5], Theorem 5.3], one shows that the symmetric functions and , and hence the original phase variables can be written in terms of theta functions.
Now we also establish a link between the Toda lattice and the Mumford system [5]. By using a method due to Vanhaecke [8], we construct an explicit morphism between these two systems. Thus, we obtain a new Poisson structure for the Mumford system and then derive a new Lax equation for the Toda lattice.
According the fact that the expression is divisible by such that the above formulas define a point of , there exist a polynomial in of degree deg . By direct calculation, we obtain:
where
The linearizing variables 4.9 and 4.10 suggest a morphism from the Toda lattice to genus odd Mumford system:
