Action-angle maps and scattering theory for some finite-dimensional integrable systems. I: The pure soliton case (Q1117520)

For Calogero-Moser systems with repulsive potentials and relativistic generalizations, there are four classical cases. Each of these can be characterized by a Lax matrix L on a phase space \(\Omega\). Liouville- Arnold theorem already showed that there exists a canonical transformation \(\phi\) : \(\Omega\) \(\to {\hat \Omega}\) (the action-angle map) which diagonalizes the Abelian algebra in the sense that the functions \(s_ k\cdot \phi^{-1}\) depend only on the new generalized moments. In Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 30, 95-148 (1977; Zbl 0344.35017), \textit{H. Airault}, \textit{H. P. McKean} and \textit{J. Moser} observed that there exists a commutation relation of the Lax matrix L with an auxiliary matrix-valued function A on \(\Omega\), which can be used to infer crucial spectral properties of L. The author of the present paper has followed the lead of them and has constructed a case by case canonical transformation \(\phi\). This is main result of this paper. However, this paper also determines explicitly the wave and scattering map for a certain class of Hamiltonians, and proves that all of these have the same wave and scattering maps as the special Hamiltonian flow. The final section of the paper gives two crucial auxiliary results which concern the special asymptotes as \(t\to +\infty\) of two classes of t-dependent matrices. The appendixes contain some spectral asymptotic results and the proof on the canonicity of \(\phi\).
