Abstract: In this paper we give a geometrical interpretation of all the second elliptic integrable systems associated to 4-symmetric spaces. We first show that a 4-symmetric space $G/G_0$ can be embedded into the twistor space of the corresponding symmetric space $G/H$. Then we prove that the second elliptic system is equivalent to the vertical harmonicity of an admissible twistor lift $J$ taking values in $G/G_{0}hookrightarrowSigma(G/H)$. We begin the paper by an example: $G/H=R^4$. We study also the structure of 4-symmetric bundles over Riemannian symmetric spaces.

Review text

Let \(G/G_0\) be a \(4\)-symmetric space and \(\tau\) the corresponding automorphism of \(G\) of order four. The involution \(\sigma = \tau^2\) then defines a symmetric space \(G/H\), and \(G/G_0\) can be viewed as a subbundle of the twistor space \(\Sigma(G/H)\) of \(G/H\). The author proves that the second elliptic integrable system (in the sense of C. L. Terng) is the system of equations for maps \(f : {\mathbb C} \to G/G_0 \subset \Sigma(G/H)\) such that \(f\) is compatible with the Gauss map of the projection \(X : {\mathbb C} \to G/H\) of \(f\) into \(G/H\), i.e., \(X\) is \(f\)-holomorphic (admissible twistor lift), and such that \(f\) is vertically harmonic. This gives a geometric interpretation of the second elliptic integrable systems associated to \(4\)-symmetric spaces in terms of the equation of vertical harmonicity for an admissible twistor lift in \(G/H\). The author also shows that an admissible twistor lift \(f : {\mathbb C} \to G/G_0\) is harmonic if and only if it is vertically harmonic and \(X : {\mathbb C} \to G/H\) is harmonic.
