On algebro-geometric Poisson brackets for the Volterra lattice (Q1286786)

The aim of this work is to generalize the theory of algebro-geometric Poisson brackets on the total space of the bundle of hyperelliptic curves which was introduced by one of the authors with S. P. Novikov to the case of periodic difference second order operators of the form \((L\psi)_k= a_{k+1}\psi_{k+1} +a_k\psi_{k-1}\). These operators are closely connected with ``the discrete KdV equation'', \[ \dot c_k=c_k(c_{k+1}-c_{k-1}),\quad c_k=a^2_k. \] A necessary and sufficient condition for algebro-geometric Poisson brackets to be compatible with higher Volterra flows is found.
