Rank 2 integrable systems of Prym varieties (Q1299114)

The authors established a correspondence between rank~2 integrable systems of generalized Prym varieties and varieties \(X\) of dimension \(1+\dim (V)\) with \(W\)-action and an invariant \(V\)-valued 2-form. It turns out that when the dimension of \(V\) is at least 2, under mild additional assumptions, all the quotient curves \(S_n/W\) are isomorphic to a fixed curve \(C\). This rigidity result imposes considerable constraints on the variety \(X\). \(X\) admits a \(W\)-invariant fibration to \(C\) and the generic fiber has an affine structure modeled after \(V\). Examples of Hitchin systems, reduced finite dimensional coadjoint orbits of loop algebras and principal bundles over elliptic K3 surfaces have been considered.
