Generalized Bäcklund-Darboux transformations for Coxeter-Toda flows from a cluster algebra perspective (Q642119): Difference between revisions

This paper is a detailed study of Poisson geometry of directed networks, motivated by Poisson properties of cluster algebras. The authors concentrate on the case of Toda flows on \(\text{GL}_n\), which are commuting Hamiltonian flows generated by conjugation-invariant functions on \(\text{GL}_n\) with respect to the standard Poisson-Lie structure. They start with collecting the necessary information of double Bruhat cells, Toda flows and directed networks on surfaces. They prove then results related both to cluster algebras and directed networks and the theory of integrable systems. They introduce generalized Bäcklund-Darboux transformations between Coxeter-Toda lattices. Explicit descriptions are given.
