The author analyzes the isospectral deformations on nilmanifolds constructed by Gordon, Wilson and DeTurck from the viewpoint of dynamical systems. The first section is devoted to reviewing a formulation of dynamical systems on Lie groups with left-invariant metrics. In the second section the author considers the Hamiltonian system on the cotangent bundle over a nilmanifold and obtains a family of reduced Hamiltonian systems of it by means of the momentum mapping associated to the symplectic action by the center of the nilpotent Lie group. Corresponding to a subfamily of these reduced Hamiltonian systems, in section 3 the author introduces the Schrödinger operators, which are defined by the connection on the principal torus considered in section 2. In section 4 it is introduced the notion of pseudo-restricted-inner transformation of a Lie algebra, and in section 5 the author shows that each reduced system considered in sections 2 and 3 is left invariant under the deformation of metric generated by a pseudo-restricted-inner transformation. Finally, in section 6 an example of non-trivial isospectral deformation of connections on a line bundle over a Riemannian manifold is given as an application of the obtained results.
